2 USamuweli 6:1-7

UDavide waphinde wabaqoqa bonke abakhethiweyo bakwa-Israyeli, ababa yizi-30 000. UDavide wasuka wahamba nabo bonke abantu ayenabo, besuka eBhali Juda, ukuyolinda umphongolo kaNkulunkulu obizwa ngeGama, igama likaSimakade Wamabandla ohlala phezu kwamakherubhi. Bawukhweza enqoleni entsha umphongolo kaNkulunkulu, bawususa endlini ka-Abhinadaba eyayiseGibheya. U-Uza no-Ahiyo, amadodana ka-Abhinadaba, yibona ababeshayela leyo nqola entsha. Bayikhipha endlini ka-Abhinadaba eGibheya nomphongolo kaNkulunkulu; u-Ahiyo wayehamba phambi komphongolo. UDavide nendlu yonke yakwa-Israyeli bathokoza phambi kukaSimakade bebetha izinhlobonhlobo zokhehlegume, ezomsayiphuresi, amahabhu, izingubhu, izigubhu, ubuxhaka namasimbali. Lapho befika esibuyeni sikaNakhoni, u-Uza welulela isandla emphongolweni kaNkulunkulu, wawubamba, ngokuba izinkabi zashelela. Intukuthelo kaSimakade yamvuthela u-Uza, uNkulunkulu wamshaya khona lapho ngenxa yesiphosiso sakhe; wafela ngasemphongolweni kaNkulunkulu.
