¹Intukuthelo kaJehova yaphinda yamvuthela u-Israyeli, wamvusa uDavide ukuba athi: “Hamba ubale u-Israyeli noJuda.

²Inkosi yasisithi kuJowabi induna yebutho eyayilaye: Hamba khathesi ezizweni zonke zakoIsrayeli, kusukela koDani kusiya eBherisheba, ubale abantu, ukuze ngazi umumo wabantu.

³UJowabe wayesethi enkosini: “UJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uyakwenezela abantu ngokuphindwe kayikhulu, noma ngabe baningi kangakanani, namehlo enkosi yami, inkosi, akubone; kodwa inkosi yami, inkosi, ithokozelani lendaba?

⁴Kepha izwi lenkosi lamahlula uJowabe nezinduna zempi. UJowabe nezinduna zempi basuka enkosini ukubala abantu bakwa-Israyeli.

⁵Bawela iJordani, bamisa e-Aroweri ngakwesokunene komuzi ophakathi nomfula uGadi naseJazeri.

⁶Bafika kwaGileyadi nasezweni laseThatimihodi; bafika eDanjan, bazungeza ngaseSidoni.

⁷Bafika enqabeni yaseTire nasemizini yonke yamaHivi namaKhanani, baphumela eningizimu yakwaJuda naseBeri Sheba.

⁸Sebedabule izwe lonke, bafika eJerusalema ekupheleni kwezinyanga eziyisishiyagalolunye nezinsuku ezingamashumi amabili.

⁹UJowabe wayinika inkosi umumo wokubalwa kwabantu; kwakukhona kwa-Israyeli amadoda anamandla ayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisishiyagalombili ahloma inkemba; amadoda akwaJuda ayengamadoda ayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amahlanu.

¹⁰Inhliziyo kaDavida yasimtshaya ngemva kokubala abantu. UDavide wayesethi kuJehova: “Ngonile kakhulu ngalokho engikwenzileyo; ngoba ngenze izinto ezinengi zobuthutha.

¹¹UDavide esevuka ekuseni, izwi likaJehova lafika kuGadi umprofethi, umboni kaDavide, lathi:

¹²Hamba uthi kuDavide: ‘Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ngikubekela izinto ezintathu; zikhetheleni enye yazo, ukuze ngiyenze kini.

¹³UGadi wasefika kuDavida, wamtshela wathi kuye: Ufike phezu kwakho iminyaka eyisikhombisa yendlala elizweni lakini? Noma uyakubalekela izitha zakho izinyanga ezintathu, zikuxoshe? noma kukhona izinsuku ezintathu zesifo ezweni lakini? ake welulekeni, nibone ukuthi ngizakumphendula bani ongithumileyo.

¹⁴UDavida wasesithi kuGadi: Ngisosizini olukhulu; masiwele esandleni sikaJehova; ngokuba umusa wakhe mkhulu, mangingaweli esandleni somuntu.

¹⁵UJehova wayesethuma isifo phezu kuka-Israyeli kusukela ekuseni kwaze kwaba yisikhathi esimisiweyo;

¹⁶Kwathi ingelosi yelulela isandla sayo eJerusalema ukuyichitha, uJehova wazisola ngobubi, wathi engelosini eyayibhubhisa abantu: “Kwanele, bamba isandla sakho. Ingelosi kaJehova yayisesibuyeni sika-Arawuna umJebusi.

¹⁷UDavide wakhuluma kuJehova lapho ebona ingelosi ishaya abantu, wathi: “Bheka, ngonile, ngenzile okubi; kodwa lezi zimvu zenzeni? isandla sakho masibe phezu kwami nendlu kababa.

¹⁸UGadi wayesefika kuDavide ngalolo suku, wathi kuye: “Khuphuka, wakhele uJehova i-altare esibuyeni sika-Arawuna umJebusi.”

¹⁹UDavide wenyuka njengezwi likaGadi, njengalokho uJehova emyalile.

²⁰U-Arawuna wabheka, wabona inkosi nezinceku zayo beza kuye; u-Arawuna waphuma wakhothama phambi kwenkosi ubuso bakhe bubheke phansi.

²¹U-Arawuna wasesithi: Kungani inkosi yami, inkosi, ize encekwini yayo? UDavide wathi: “Ukuzithengela isibuya, ukwakhela uJehova i-altare, ukuze inhlupheko yabantu inqanyulwe.

²²U-Arawuna wayesethi kuDavide: “Inkosi yami, inkosi, mayithathe, ihlabele okuhle kuyo; bheka, nazi izinkabi zomnikelo wokushiswa, nezibhulo nezinye izinto zezinkabi zibe yizinkuni.

²³Zonke lezi zinto u-Arawuna inkosi wazinika inkosi. U-Arawuna wayesethi enkosini: “UJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ukwamukele;

²⁴Inkosi yasisithi kuArawuna: Hatshi! kodwa ngiyakusithenga kuwe ngentengo; ngiyakunikela kuJehova uNkulunkulu wami iminikelo yokushiswa engeyize. UDavide wathenga isibuya nezinkabi ngamashekeli angamashumi ayisihlanu esiliva.

²⁵UDavide wamakhela khona uJehova i-altare, wanikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa nangeminikelo yokuthula. Ngakho uJehova walithandazela izwe, futhi isifo sanqamuka kwa-Israyeli.
