2 Samuweli 6:1-7

UDavide wabuye wabutha bonke abakhethiweyo bakwa-Israyeli, izinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu. UDavide wazilungiselela, wahamba nabo bonke abantu ababe naye besuka eBali lakwaJuda ukuyokhuphula khona umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ogama lakhe liyigama likaJehova Sebawoti, ohlala phakathi kwamakherubi letha. Bawubeka umphongolo kaNkulunkulu enqoleni entsha, bawukhipha endlini ka-Abinadaba eyayiseGibeya; u-Uza no-Ahiyo, amadodana ka-Abinadaba, bashayela inqola entsha. Balikhipha endlini ka-Abinadaba eseGibeya kanye nomphongolo kaNkulunkulu; u-Ahjo waphuma phambi komkhumbi. UDavide nayo yonke indlu ka-Israyeli babetha phambi kukaJehova zonke izinsimbi zomthi womsayipuresi, nezingubhu, namahabhu, nezigubhu, nezingubhu, namasimbali. Lapho befika esibuyeni sikaNagoni, u-Uza welulela isandla sakhe emphongolweni kaNkulunkulu, wawuthatha; ngoba izinkabi zayinyakazisa. Intukuthelo kaJehova yamvuthela u-Uza; uNkulunkulu wamshaya khona ngenxa yesiphambeko sakhe; wafela khona ngasemphongolweni kaNkulunkulu.
