UDavide wathi kuJonathani : Bheka, kusasa iyakwethwasa inyanga ; angifanele ukuphu tha ukuhlala nenkosi ekudleni , kepha ngivumele ukuba ngihambe, ngicashe endle kuze kube sosukwini lwesithathu ngakusihlwa.

Kodwa ingqondo yabo yaba lukhuni . Ngokuba kuze kube sosukwini lwanamuhla, nxa kufundwa isivumelwano esidala , leyo ndwangu isahle zi ingambuliwe, ngokuba iyapheliswa kuKristu;

UDavide wafika endlini yakhe eJerusalema ; inkosi yathatha abesifazane abayishumi, izancinza zayo, eyayibashiyile ukuba bayilinde indlu , yababeka endlini yokulindela , yabapha uk udla, kepha ayingenanga kubo . Base bevalelwe kwaze kwaba sosukwini lokufa kwabo, behlezi njengabafelokazi.

Kepha wathi kimi : Bheka, uyakukhulelwa, uzale indodana ; ngakho ungaphuzi wayini naluphuzo olunamandla , ungadli lutho olungcolileyo , ngokuba umntwana uyakuba ngumNaziri kaNkulunkulu kwasesizalweni kuze kube sosukwini lokufa kwakhe.

niyakuligcina kuze kube sosukwini lweshumi nane l waleyo nyanga; ibandla lonke lenhlangano yakwa-Israyeli liyakulihlaba ngakusihlwa.

Yakhipha namehlo kaSedekiya ; inkosi yaseBabele yambopha ngamaketanga, yamyisa eBabele , yamfaka etilongweni kwaze kwaba sosukwini lokufa kwakhe.

Isabelo sakhe sasiyisabelo esimiyo semihla ngemihla , asiphiwa yinkosi yaseBabele zonke izinsuku zokuhamba kwakhe kwaze kwaba sosukwini lokufa kwakhe.
