8 UDavide naye wonke u-Israyeli bathokoza ebusweni bukaNkulunkulu ngamandla onke ngamahubo, nangamahabhu,* nangezingubhu, nangezigubhu, nangamasimbali,* nangamacilongo.
9 Ekufikeni kwabo esibuyeni sikaKidoni u-Uza welula isandla sakhe ukubamba umphongolo, ngokuba izinkabi zashelela.
10 Intukuthelo kaJehova yamvuthela u-Uza, wamshaya, ngokuba welulela isandla emphongolweni; wafela khona lapho phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
11 UDavide wadabuka ngokuba uJehova emhlasele u-Uza, wayibiza leyo ndawo ngokuthi iPheresi-Uza* kuze kube namuhla.
12 UDavide wamesaba uNkulunkulu ngalolo suku; wathi: “Ngizakuletha kanjani umphongolo kaNkulunkulu kimi na?”
13 UDavide akawuyisanga umphongolo kuye emzini kaDavide, kepha wawubuyisela eceleni endlini ka-Obede Edomi umGiti.
14 Umphongolo kaNkulunkulu wahlala nabendlu ka-Obede Edomi endlini yakhe izinyanga ezintathu; uJehova wayibusisa indlu ka-Obede Edomi nakho konke anakho.
