2 uSamuweli 6:1-7

UDavide wabuye wabutha bonke abakhethiweyo bakwa-Israyeli, izinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu. UDavide wahamba nabo bonke abantu ababe naye, besuka eBali Juda ukwenyusa khona umphongolo kaNkulunkulu obizwa ngeGama, lona igama likaJehova Sebawoti ohlala phezu kwamakherubi.* Bawuhambisa umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ngengqukumbane entsha, bewukhipha endlini ka-Abinadaba eyayisegqumeni; o-Uza no-Ahiyo amadodana ka-Abinadaba bashayela leyo ngqukumbane entsha. Bayikhipha-ke endlini ka-Abinadaba eyayisegqumeni kanye nomphongolo; u-Ahiyo wahamba phambi komphongolo. UDavide kanye nendlu yonke ka-Israyeli bathokoza ebusweni bukaJehova benezinto zonke zokubetha zomsayipuresi,* namahabhu,* nezingubhu, nezigubhu, nobuxhaka, namasimbali.* Ekufikeni kwabo esibuyeni sikaNakoni u-Uza welulela isandla emphongolweni kaNkulunkulu, wawubamba, ngokuba izinkabi zashelela. Intukuthelo kaJehova yamvuthela u-Uza, uNkulunkulu wamshaya lapho ngenxa yesiphosiso sakhe; wafela khona ngasemphongolweni kaNkulunkulu.
