| 2. | Kwathi ngexesha langokuhlwa, wavuka uDavide esililini sakhe, wahambahamba phezu kophahla lwendlu yokumkani. Wathi, eseluphahleni, wabona umfazi ezihlamba; ke umfazi lowo wayemhle kunene ngembonakalo. |

| 12. | Wathi uDavide ku-Uriya, Hlala apha nanamhla, ndokundulula ngomso. Wahlala ke u-Uriya eYerusalem ngaloo mhla nangengomso. |
| 13. | UDavide wammema: wadla, wasela phambi kwakhe; wamnxilisa. Waphuma ngokuhlwa, waya kulala esililini sakhe nabakhonzi benkosi yakhe; akehla aye endlwini yakhe. |

| 17. | Aphuma amadoda aloo mzi, alwa noYowabhi; kwawa abantu kubakhonzi bakaDavide; wafa noUriya umHeti. |
| 18. | Wathumela uYowabhi kuDavide, wamxelela zonke iindaba zemfazwe. |
| 19. | Wamwisela umthetho umthunywa, esithi, Xa ugqibileyo ukuzenza zonke iindaba zemfazwe kukumkani, wothi, |
| 20. | ukuba buthe benyuka ubushushu bokumkani, wathi kuwe, Ibiyini na ukuba nisondele kangaka kuloo mzi ngokulwa? beningazi na ukuba botola beseludongeni? |
| 21. | wabethwa ngubani na uAbhimeleki unyana kaYerubheshete? akagityiselwanga na yinkazana ngelitye lokusila eludongeni, wafela eTebhetse? ibiyini na ukuba nisondele kangaka eludongeni? uthi wena, Nomkhonzi wakho u-Uriya umHeti ufile naye. |
| 22. | Wahamba ke umthunywa, waya, wamxelela uDavide konke uYowabhi abemthume khona. |
| 23. | Wathi umthunywa kuDavide, Athi akuseyisa thina amadoda, aphuma eza kuthi phandle; saba phezu kwawo ke, sada sesa ekungeneni kwesango; |
| 24. | batola abatoli kubakhonzi bakho beseludongeni, kwafa inxenye kubakhonzi bokumkani; umkhonzi wakho u-Uriya umHeti ufile naye. |
| 25. | Wathi uDavide kumthunywa lowo, Wotsho kuYowabhi ukuthi, Mayingabi mbi emehlweni akho le ndawo; ngokuba ikrele eli lidla kulo nakulowa. Komeleze ukulwa kwakho, nomzi lowo uwuchithe; uze umomeleze ke. |
| 26. | Weva umkaUriya ukuba ufile u-Uriya indoda yakhe, wayimbambazelela indoda yakhe. |
| 27. | Lakudlula ixesha lezila lakhe, wathumela uDavide, wamthabathela endlwini yakhe, waba ngumkakhe, wamzalela unyana. Ke loo nto wayenzayo uDavide yaba mbi emehlweni kaYehova. |
