UJehova wezwa lapho uDavide ekhala kuye esosizini. Wavuza ukulunga kukaDavide ngokumsekela nokwenza ukuba izitha zakhe zinqotshwe.

Kusho ukuthini na?

Ekugcineni, uDavide wamiswa njengenkosi yakwa-Israyeli. Izitha ezazimcashisile zanqotshwa, kuhlanganise noSawulu. Kodwa uDavide akazange nje adlulele esicelweni sakhe esilandelayo, ecela umusa weNkosi ukuba abuse umbuso wakhe. UDavide wama futhi wabhala iculo ngokwethembeka kukaNkulunkulu. Inkosi entsha yakwaIsrayeli yaqala ukubusa kwayo ngokunikeza uNkulunkulu inkazimulo ngokunqoba kwayo obala. Waqala ngamazwi alula kodwa abaluleke kakhulu, “Ngiyakuthanda, O Nkosi, mandla ami.” Wabe eseqhubeka emavesini angu-50 mayelana nokuthi uNkulunkulu wayemnakekele, wamnika amandla, futhi wamphindiselela kanjani—ephetha ngokuvuma umusa kaNkulunkulu ongahluleki.
