23 Onke amakhosi omhlaba afuna ubuso bukaSolomoni ukuba ezwe ukuhlakanipha kwakhe, uNkulunkulu akubekile enhliziyweni yakhe.
24 Baletha, kwaba yilowo nalowo isipho sakhe, izitsha zesiliva, nezitsha zegolide, nezingubo, nezikhali, namakha, namahhashi, neminyuzi,* okwenziwa iminyaka ngeminyaka.
25 USolomoni wayenezipani* eziyizinkulungwane ezine zamahhashi nezinqola, nabamahhashi abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nambili, owababeka emizini yezinqola nasenkosini eJerusalema.
26 Wabusa phezu kwawo onke amakhosi kusukela emfuleni kuze kube sezweni lamaFilisti nasemkhawulweni waseGibithe.
27 Inkosi yenza isiliva livame eJerusalema njengamatshe, nemisedari* yayenza ibe njengemithombe ehlanzeni ngobuningi.
28 Bamlethela uSolomoni amahhashi evela eGibithe nasemazweni onke.
29 Ezinye izindaba zikaSolomoni, ezokuqala nezokugcina, angithi zilotshiwe ezindabeni zikaNathani umprofethi, nasesiprofethweni sika-Ahiya waseShilo, nasemibonweni ka-Ido umboni ngoJerobowamu indodana kaNebati na?
