9 Emva koko uDavide wahlala apho kwikhusi, yaye labizwa* ngokuba sisiXeko SikaDavide, waza uDavide waqalisa ukwakha macala onke esusela eNdulini,*+ esiza ngaphakathi.+

9 U-Uziya wakha iinqaba+ eYerusalem ngakwiGeyithi Esekoneni,+ ngakwiGeyithi Yentlambo+ nangakuDonga Olungaphandle, waza waziqinisa ezo nqaba.

2 Wathi uHezekiya akubona ukuba uSenaribhe ufikile ibe uzimisele ukulwa neYerusalem,

5 Ngaphezu koko, ngokuzimisela, walwakha lonke udonga olwaludilikile waza wakha iinqaba kulo, wakha nolunye udonga ngaphandle. Walungisa iNduli*+ YesiXeko SikaDavide, wenza izixhobo ezininzi* namakhaka.

33 UManase+ waba ngukumkani xa wayeneminyaka eyi-12, ibe walawula iminyaka eyi-55 eYerusalem.+

14 Emva koko wakha udonga lwangaphandle lwesiXeko SikaDavide+ entshona yeGihon+ kwintlambo, lwayokufika kwiGeyithi Yeentlanzi,+ walwenza lwajikeleza iOfeli,+ waza walwenza lwaphakama kakhulu. Wabeka nabaphathi bomkhosi wamajoni kuzo zonke izixeko ezikhuselekileyo zakwaYuda.
