11 Utsho uYehova ukuthi, ‘Yabona, ndikuvelisela intlekele endlwini yakho;+ yaye ndiza kubathabatha abafazi bakho emehlweni akho ndize ndibanike idlelane lakho,+ yaye lona ngokuqinisekileyo liya kulala nabafazi bakho phambi kwelanga eli.+

21 Wandula ke uAhitofele wathi kuAbhisalom: “Yiba neentlobano zokwazana namashweshwe kayihlo,+ awashiyileyo ukuba anyamekele indlu.+ Ngokuqinisekileyo wonke uSirayeli uya kuva ukuba uzenze wanuka kakubi+ kuyihlo,+ yaye izandla+ zabo bonke abo banawe ngokuqinisekileyo ziya komelela.”

3 Ekugqibeleni uDavide weza endlwini yakhe eYerusalem.+ Wandula ke ukumkani wathabatha abafazi abalishumi,+ amashweshwe awayewashiye ngasemva ukuba anyamekele indlu, waza wabafaka endlwini yokuvalelwa, kodwa waqhubeka ebabonelela ngokutya. Yaye akazange abe nazintlobano zokwazana konke nabo,+ kodwa baqhubeka bevalelwe mba kwada kwayimini yokufa kwabo, bengabahlolokazi abanendoda ephilayo.
