17 UDavide wayala zonke izikhulu zakwa-Israyeli ukusiza uSolomoni, wathi:
18 “UJehova uNkulunkulu wenu akanani na? Akaniphanga ukuphumula nxazonke na? Ngokuba unikele esandleni sami abakhileyo ezweni; izwe linyatheliwe phambi kukaJehova naphambi kwabantu bakhe.
19 Kalokhu nikelani inhliziyo yenu nomphefumulo wenu ekufuneni uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu; sukani nakhe indlu engcwele kaJehova uNkulunkulu ukuba kungeniswe umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova nezinto ezingcwele zikaNkulunkulu endlini eyakwakhelwa igama likaJehova.”
