uSolomon wakha ubuhlobo noFaro ukumkani waseYiputa, wazeka intombi kaFaro, wayizisa emzini kaDavide, wada wayigqiba ukuyakha indlu yakhe, nendlu kaYehova, nodonga lwaseYerusalem, lwa lonke. Kodwa abantu babebingelela ezigangeni; ngokuba lalingekakhelwa ndlu igama likaYehova kwada kwayiloo mini. uSolomon wamthanda uYehova ngokuhamba emimiselweni kaDavide uyise; wayebingelela ezigangeni zodwa, wenyuka umsi. Ukumkani ubesiya eGibheyon, ukuba abingelele khona; ngenxa yokuba yayiyindawo ephakamileyo kakhulu: uSolomon wanikela iwaka leminikelo etshiswayo kweso sibingelelo. Xa wayeseGibheyon, uYehova wabonakala kuSolomon ebusuku ephupheni, wathi uThixo: “Cela into, ndikuphe; Wathi uSolomon, Umenzele inceba enkulu umkhonzi wakho uDavide, ubawo, njengoko abehamba phambi kwakho enyanisweni, nangobulungisa, nangentliziyo elungileyo; wambambela olu babalo bukhulu, wada wamnika unyana ukuba ahlale etroneni yakhe, njengoko kunjalo namhla. Kaloku, Yehova Thixo wam, wena umenze ukumkani umkhonzi wakho esikhundleni sikaDavide ubawo; ndisengumntwana; Andazi ndiphume okanye ndingene njani. Umkhonzi wakho lo uphakathi kohlanga lwakho olunyuliweyo, uhlanga olukhulu, olungenakubalwa, olungenakubalwa ngenxa yobuninzi. Mnike umkhonzi wakho intliziyo evayo, yokubalawula abantu bakho, ahlule phakathi kokulungileyo nokubi; ngokuba ngubani na ongalugwebayo olu hlanga lwakho lukhulu? Lalunga elo lizwi emehlweni kaYehova, wabuza uSolomon. Wathi ke uThixo kuye, Ekubeni ucele loo nto, akwayicela imihla emininzi; Anibucelanga ubutyebi benu, anicelanga nomphefumlo weentshaba zenu; Ke ucele ukuqonda kwakho ukuba kugwebe; Yabona, ndenze ngokwamazwi akho; niyabona, ndininike intliziyo elumkileyo nenokuqonda; kangangokuba ngaphambi kwakho akuzange kubekho unjengawe, nasemva kwakho kungabikho unjengawe. Ndikunikile oko ungakucelanga, ubutyebi nozuko, ukuze kungabikho unjengawe phakathi kookumkani yonke imihla yakho. Ukuba uthe wahamba ngeendlela zam, wayigcina imithetho yam nemimiselo yam, njengoko wahamba ngako uDavide uyihlo, ndoyolula imihla yakho. Wavuka uSolomon; liphupha. Weza eYerusalem, wema phambi kwetyeya yomnqophiso kaYehova, wenyusa amadini anyukayo nemibingelelo yombulelo, wabenzela isidlo abakhonzi bakhe bonke. Ngelo xesha beza kukumkani amankazana amabini angamahenyukazi, ema phambi kwakhe. Yathi enye inkazana, Camagu, nkosi yam, mna nalo mfazi sihlala ndlwini-nye; ndafika kukho umntwana naye endlini. Wazala ngomhla wesithathu, naye lowo wazala; kwaye sasikunye; kwaye kungekho mntu wasemzini unathi kuloo ndlu, sisodwa thina sobabini kuloo ndlu. Wafa ke umntwana wale nkazana ebusuku; ngokuba wayigubungelayo. Wavuka ezinzulwini zobusuku, wamthabatha unyana wam phambi kwam, elele umkhonzazana wakho, wamlalisa esifubeni sakhe, wambeka esifubeni sam umntwana wakhe ofileyo. Ndavuka kusasa, ukuba ndimanyise umntwana wam, O! kodwa ndathi ndakuyicinga ekuseni ndabona ukuba ayingonyana wam lo ndimzeleyo. Wathi omnye umfazi, Hayi; ngunyana wam lo uhleliyo, unyana wakho ngulowa ufileyo. Wathi yena, Hayi; unyana wakho ngulowa ufileyo, ngunyana wam lo uhleliyo. Batsho phambi kwenkosi. Wathi ukumkani, Kuthiwa, Ngunyana wam lo uhleliyo, unyana wakho ngulowa ufileyo; omnye wathi: Hayi! kodwa unyana wakho ufile, yaye unyana wam ngulo udla ubomi. Wathi ukumkani, Ndithabatheleni ikrele. Balizisa ikrele phambi kokumkani. Wathi ukumkani, Mcandeni kubini lo mntwana uhleliyo, niyinike isiqingatha enye, niyinike isiqingatha; Yathetha le nkazana, ungowayo unyana ohleliyo, kukumkani (ngokuba isisu besikhalela unyana wayo), yathi, Camagu, nkosi yam, senimnike ehleli umntwana; Wathi ke omnye, Mayingabi yeyam, ingabi yeyakho; Waphendula uYehova, wathi, Mnike umntwana ohleliyo; ngumama wam. Asiva onke amaSirayeli isigwebo abesenza ukumkani; amoyika ukumkani, ngokuba ayebona ukuba ubulumko bukaThixo bungaphakathi kwakhe, ukuba agwebe.
