11 UDavida wathi evuka ekuseni, ilizwi likaJehova lafika kumphrofethi uGadi+ umboni* kaDavida lisithi: 12 “Hamba uyekuthi kuDavida, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova: “Ngizakunika izinto ezintathu, wena ubusukhetha okukodwa phakathi kwazo ofuna ngikwehlisele khona.”’”+

9 Ngakho uJehova wakhuluma loGadi+ umboni kaDavida wathi: 10 “Hamba uyekuthi kuDavida, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova: “Ngizakunika izinto ezintathu, wena ubusukhetha okukodwa phakathi kwazo ofuna ngikwehlisele khona.”’”

29 Imbali yeNkosi uDavida kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kuyefika ekucineni ibhaliwe emibhalweni kaSamuyeli umboni* lekaNathani+ umphrofethi lekaGadi+ umboni.

25 Inkosi yathi amaLevi ame endlini kaJehova ethwele amasimbali* leziginci lamahabhu*+ kulandelwa lokho okwakhulunywa nguDavida,+ loGadi+ umboni wenkosi, loNathani+ umphrofethi. Umlayo lo wawuvele kuJehova esebenzisa abaphrofethi bakhe.
