23 Imbongolo yabona ingelosi kaJehova imi endleleni iphethe inkemba yayo esandleni iyihoshile;+ imbongolo yazama ukuphambuka endleleni ukuze shone esigangeni, kodwa uBhalami waqala ukuyishaya imbongolo ukuze ayiphindisele endleleni.

16 Lapho uDavide ephakamisa amehlo akhe, wayibona ingelosi+ kaJehova imi phakathi komhlaba namazulu inkemba yayo+ ehoshiwe esandleni sayo yelulelwe ngaseJerusalema; uDavide namadoda amadala, bezimboze ngendwangu yesaka,+ masinyane bawa ngobuso babo.+
