UDavide waqonda ukuthi uJehova wayemmisile impela ukuba abe yinkosi kwa-Israyeli, ngokuba umbuso wakhe waphakanyiselwa phezulu ngenxa yabantu bakhe u-Israyeli.

Kuvunyiwe ukuthi inkulu imfihlakalo yokukhonza uNkulunkulu yokuthi : Owabonakaliswa enyameni , walungisiswa emoyeni , wabonwa yizingelosi , washunyayelwa ezizweni , wakholeka ezweni , waphakanyiselwa enkazimulweni.

U-Abisalomu wasuka wahlangana nezinceku zikaDavide . U-Abisalomu wayekhwele umnyuzi wakhe , umnyuzi wangena phansi kwehlozi le -oki, ikhanda lakhe labambelela e -okini, waphakanyiselwa emkhathini wezulu nomhlaba; umnyuzi obuphansi kwakhe wadlula.
