| 19. | akwasala nanye into kuzo, kuthabathela kwencinane kwesa kwenkulu, kwesa koonyana neentombi; kwathabathela kwixhoba kwesa kwinto yonke abeyithimbile kubo. Yonke into wayibuyisa uDavide. |
| 20. | Wayithimba yonke impahla emfutshane neenkomo; baqhuba phambi kwaloo mfuyo yakhe, bathi, Lixhoba likaDavide eli. |
| 21. | Wafika ke uDavide kulaa madoda angamakhulu mabini abephelelwe, abengenakumlandela uDavide, awayewashiye emlanjaneni oyiBhesore. Aphuma aya kumkhawulela uDavide aya kubakhawulela abantu ababenaye. UDavide wafika ebantwini, wababuza ukuphila kwabo. |

| 23. | Wathi uDavide, Ningenjenjalo, bazalwana bam, ngento asinikileyo uYehova, wasigcina, wayinikela esandleni sethu impi leyo ibisifikele. |
| 24. | Ngubani na oya kuniva kweli lizwi? Njengoko sinjalo isabelo sohla aye ekulweni, sinjalo isabelo sosele nempahla; baya kwabelana ngakunye. |
| 25. | Kwaba njalo, kuthabathela kuloo mini kunyuse, wakumisa kwaba ngummiselo nesiko kwaSirayeli unanamhla. |
| 26. | Weza uDavide eTsikelage, wathumela inxenye yamaxhoba kumadoda amakhulu akwaYuda, kumakowabo, esithi, Nantso intsikelelo yenu emaxhobeni eentshaba zikaYehova; |
| 27. | kwawaseBheteli, nakwawaseRamoti esezantsi, nakwawaseYatire, |
| 28. | nakwawaseArohere, nakwawaseSifimoti, nakwawase-Eshtemowa, |
