19. Akwasilala muntu, omncane noma omkhulu, namadodana noma amadodakazi, nempango noma okunye ababezithathele khona; uDavide wabuyisa konke.
20. UDavide wathatha zonke izimvu nezinkomo; baziqhuba phambi kwakhe, bathi: “Yimpango kaDavide le.”
21. UDavide wafika kulabo bantu abangamakhulu amabili ababezukekile, bengenakumlandela uDavide, ababebahlalisile ngasemfudlaneni iBesori; baphuma ukumhlangabeza uDavide nokuhlangabeza abantu ababenaye; uDavide esesondela kubantu wababingelela.
22. Base bethatha bonke abantu ababi nabonakeleyo kulabo ababehamba noDavide, bathi: “Njengokuba bengahambanga nathi, asiyikubanika lutho empangweni esiyikhululile, kuphela ukuba yileyo naleyo ndoda inikwe umkayo nabantwana bayo, bamuke nabo, bahambe.”
23. Wayesethi uDavide: “Aniyikwenza kanjalo, bafowethu, ngalokho esikuphiwe nguJehova osilondolozile, wanikela esandleni sethu iviyo elasihlasela.
24. Ngubani oyakunilalela kule ndaba na? Ngokuba njengesabelo sowehlele empini siyakuba njalo isabelo salowo owasala nempahla; bayakwabelwa ngokulingeneyo.”
25. Kwaba njalo kusukela kulolo suku kuya phambili; wamisa isimiso nomthetho kwa-Israyeli kuze kube namuhla.
