20 Achithelwe ilize amandla enu, ekubeni umhlaba wenu ungayi kuninika imveliso yawo,+ nemithi yomhlaba inganiniki iziqhamo zayo.+

23 Isibhakabhaka sakho esiphezu kwentloko yakho soba lubhedu, nomhlaba ophantsi kwakho ube yintsimbi.+

21 Ke kaloku kwabakho indlala+ ngemihla kaDavide kangangeminyaka emithathu, unyaka ngonyaka; waza uDavide wabuza ebusweni bukaYehova. Wandula ke uYehova wathi: “Kukho ityala legazi phezu koSawule naphezu kwendlu yakhe, ngenxa yokuba wawabulala amaGibheyon.”+

12 enoba yiminyaka emithathu yendlala;+ okanye ziinyanga ezintathu zokuba utshayelwe phambi kweentshaba zakho+ nokuba ufikelwe likrele leentshaba zakho, okanye iintsuku ezintathu zekrele likaYehova,+ kwanendyikitya yokufa,+ elizweni, ingelosi kaYehova iwonakalise+ wonke ummandla kaSirayeli.’ Ke kaloku bona ukuba ndifanele ndimphendule ndithini na Lowo undithumileyo.”
