20UJuda no-Israyeli babebaningi ngangesihlabathi esingasolwandle ngobuningi, babedla, bephuza, bejabula.
21USolomoni wabusa phezu kwemibuso yonke kusukela emfuleni kuze kube sezweni lamaFilisti nasemkhawulweni waseGibithe; baletha izipho, bamkhonza uSolomoni zonke izinsuku zokuhamba kwakhe.
22Ukudla kukaSolomoni kosuku lunye kwakungamakhora angamashumi amathathu empuphu ecolekileyo namakhora angamashumi ayisithupha empuphu;
23Izinkomo eziyishumi ezikhuluphalisiweyo, nezinkomo ezingamashumi amabili zasemadlelweni, nemihlambi eyikhulu, ngaphandle kwezinyamazane, nezinyamazane, nezinyoni ezikhuluphalisiweyo.

29UNkulunkulu wamnika uSolomoni ukuhlakanipha nokuqonda okuningi, nobubanzi benhliziyo, njengesihlabathi esisogwini lolwandle.
30Ukuhlakanipha kukaSolomoni kwakungcono kunokuhlakanipha kwabo bonke abantwana bezwe lasempumalanga nakho konke ukuhlakanipha kwaseGibhithe.
31Ngokuba wayehlakaniphe kunabo bonke abantu; njengo-Ethani umEzra, noHemani, noKalikoli, noDarda, amadodana kaMaholi; futhi umbiko wakhe wawuphakathi kwezizwe zonke nxazonke.
