1. UDavide wababizela ndawonye bonke abathetheli bamaSirayeli, abathetheli bezizwe nabathetheli bamaqela ngamaqela abalungiselela ukumkani nabathetheli-mawaka nabathetheli-makhulu, namagosa empahla yonke, nabemfuyo yokumkani neyoonyana bakhe, kunye nababusi namagorha, nento yonke eligorha elinobukroti, ukuba beze eYerusalem.
2. Wesuka wema ngeenyawo uDavide ukumkani, wathi: Ndiphulaphuleni, bazalwana bam, bantu bam. Mna, kwaye kusentliziyweni yam ukuyakhela indlu yokuhlala ityeya yomnqophiso kaYehova, isihlalo seenyawo zikaThixo wethu, ndalungisela ukwakha;
3. koko uThixo wathi kum, Uze ungalakheli ndlu igama lam, ngokuba uyindoda yemfazwe, uphalazé igazi elininzi.
4. Ke wandinyula uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, endlwini yonke kabawo, ukuba ndibe ngukumkani kumaSirayeli ngonaphakade; ngokuba unyulé uYuda ukuba abe yingànga, endlwini kaYuda unyulé indlu kabawo, koonyana bakabawo ukholwé ndim, ukuba andenze ukumkani kumaSirayeli onke.
