32 UDavide wayesethi ku-Abigayili: “Makabusiswe uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli okuthume namuhla ukungihlangabeza.
33 Futhi makubusiswe ukuhlakanipha kwakho, ubusiswe nawe ongivimbele namuhla ukungena ecaleni legazi nokuzisindisa ngesandla sami.
34 Ngokuba impela, kuphila kukaJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ongivimbele ukuze ngingakulimazi, uma ungasheshanga ukuza ukuba ungihlangabeze, impela nga kungasalanga kuNabali ngasekuseni kusasa nokukodwa okungokwesilisa.”
35 UDavide wayesamukela esandleni sakhe lokho amlethele khona; wathi kuye: “Khuphukela endlini yakho ngokuthula; bheka, ngililalele izwi lakho, ngibuvumile ubuso bakho.”
36 U-Abigayili wafika kuNabali; bheka, wayenedili endlini yakhe, linjengedili lenkosi; inhliziyo kaNabali yayithokoza phakathi kwakhe, ngokuba wayephuze kakhulu; ngalokho akamtshelanga lutho oluncane nolukhulu kwaze kwaba sekuseni.
37 Kwathi ekuseni, lapho iwayini seliphumile kuNabali, umkakhe wamtshela lezo zinto, inhliziyo yakhe yafa phakathi kwakhe, waba njengetshe.
38 Kwathi emva kwezinsuku eziyishumi uJehova wamshaya uNabali, wafa.
