Inkosi yathi ku-Abisalomu: Qha, ndodana yami, masingahambi sonke, funa sikusinde. Wayicindezela; nokho ayivumanga ukuhamba, kodwa yambusisa.

u-Israyeli wathuma izithunyw a enkosini yakwa -Edomi, wathi: Ake ngidabule izwe lakho ; kepha inkosi yakwa -Edomi ayilalelanga ; nasenkosini yakwaMowabi wathuma kanjalo ; kepha ayivumanga; u-Israyeli wayesehlala eKadeshi.

Kepha ayivumanga , kodwa yahamba, yayifaka etilongweni , ize ilikhokhe lelo cala.
