11 UJehova uthi: ‘Ngikulethela ihlekelele ezokuvela ngendlinakho;+ ngizokuthatha abafazi bakho ngibanikele enye indoda phambi kwamehlwakho,+ izokulala nabafazi bakho emini kwa bha!+

21 Yeke u-Arhitofeli wathi ku-Absalomu: “Lala namakhohlo kayihlo,+ lawo awatjhiye bona atlhogomele indlu.*+ Ngalokho woke u-Israyeli uzokuzwa ukuthi uzenze isivunda kuyihlo begodu abasekeli bakho bazokuqina.”

3 Lokha uDavida nakafika emzinakhe* eJerusalema,+ ikosi yathatha amakhohlo alitjhumi ebeyiwatjhiye emva bona atlhogomele indlu,+ yawafaka endlini egadiweko. Beyiwanikela ukudla kodwana akhenge iye nawo emabhayini.+ Ahlala avalelwe bekwaba lilanga ahlongakala ngalo, bekaphila njengabahlolokazi, ngitjho nanyana bewanendoda ephilako.
