2 Samuweli 6:3-15

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. UDavide wadabuka ngokuba uJehova efohla e-Uza; wabiza leyo ndawo ngokuthi iPheresi-susa kuze kube namuhla. UDavide wamesaba uJehova ngalolo suku, wathi: “Umphongolo kaJehova uyakuza kanjani kimi na? UDavide akathandanga ukulethela umphongolo kaJehova emzini kaDavide; kepha uDavide wayiphambukisela endlini ka-Obede Edomi umGiti. Umphongolo kaJehova wahlala izinyanga ezintathu endlini ka-Obede Edomi umGiti; uJehova wambusisa u-Obede Edomi nendlu yakhe yonke. Kwasekutshelwa inkosi uDavida ukuthi: I Nkosi yabusisa indlu kaObede Edomi lakho konke okwakhe ngenxa yomphongolo kaNkulunkulu. UDavide wayesehamba, wawuletha umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ngokujabula endlini ka-Obede Edomi, wawusa emzini kaDavide. Lapho abathwali bomphongolo kaJehova sebehambe izinyathelo eziyisithupha, wahlaba izinkomo nezilo ezikhuluphalisiwe. UDavide wasina ngamandla akhe onke phambi kukaJehova; uDavide wayebhince indwangu yamahlombe yelineni. UDavide nayo yonke indlu ka-Israyeli bawukhuphula umphongolo kaJehova ngokujabula nangokukhala kwecilongo.
