31 Kwathiwa kuDavide: “UAhitofele ungomnye wabantu abenza iyelenqe+ noAbhisalom.”+ UDavide wathi: “Ndiyakucela Yehova,+ lijike libe bubudenge icebiso lika-Ahitofele!”+

23 Ngaloo mihla, ­amacebiso ka-Ahitofele+ ayejongwa njenge­lizwi likaThixo wokwenene.* Ayenjalo onke amacebiso ka-Ahitofele kuDavide nakuAbhisalom.

23 Uthe uAhitofele akubona ukuba icebiso lakhe alithathwanga, wafaka isali edonkini, waya endlini yakhe kwidolophu yakowabo.+ Emva kokunika indlu yakhe imiyalelo,+ wazixhoma.*+ Ngoko ke wafa waza wangcwatyelwa kwindawo yokungcwaba yootatomkhulu bakhe.

33 UAhitofele+ wayengumcebisi kakumkani ibe uHushayi+ umArki wayengumhlobo* kakumkani.
