U-Abisalomu weba izinhliziyo zamadoda akwa-Israyeli
1Ngasemuva u-Abisalomu wamlungisela izinqola, namahhashi, nabantu abangamashumi ayisihlanu ukuba bagijime phambi kwakhe.
2U-Abisalomu wavuka ekuseni, wema endleleni yesango; kwathi lapho umuntu onecala efika enkosini ukuba isahlulelo, u-Abisalomu wambiza, wathi: “Ungowamuphi umuzi? Wathi: “Inceku yakho ivela kwesinye sezizwe zakwa-Israyeli.
3U-Abisalomu wathi kuye: “Bheka, izindaba zakho zinhle, zilungile; kepha akakho owabelwe inkosi ukuba akulalele.
4U-Abisalomu wabuye wathi: “O, uma ngibekwe umahluleli ezweni, ukuze wonke umuntu onecala noma udaba eze kimi, ngimenzele ubulungisa!
5Kwathi lapho othile esondela kuye ukuze amdumise, welula isandla sakhe, wambamba, wamanga.
6U-Abisalomu wenze njalo ku-Israyeli wonke abeza enkosini ukuba ahlulele; u-Abisalomu weba izinhliziyo zamadoda akwa-Israyeli.
7Kwathi emva kweminyaka engamashumi amane u-Abisalomu wathi enkosini: “Mangihambe ngigcwalise isithembiso sami engasenza kuJehova eHebroni.”
8Ngoba inceku yakho yenza isithembiso ngisahlezi eGeshuri eAramu, yathi: Uba i Nkosi ingibuyisela isibili eJerusalema, ngizayikhonza i Nkosi.
9Inkosi yathi kuye: “Hamba ngokuthula.” Wasuka waya eHebroni.
10U-Abisalomu wathuma izinhloli ezizweni zonke zakwa-Israyeli ukuba athi: “Nxa nizwa ukukhala kwecilongo, anothi: ‘U-Abisalomu uyinkosi eHebroni.
11Kwaphuma kanye no-Abisalomu amadoda angamakhulu amabili abebiziwe eJerusalema; futhi bahamba ngobulula babo, futhi babengazi lutho.
12U-Abisalomu wathumela wabiza u-Ahithofeli waseGiloni, umeluleki kaDavide, emzini wakubo eGilo, esanikela imihlatshelo. Uzungu lwaqina; abantu banda njalo ku-Abisalomu.
13Kwasekufika isithunywa kuDavida sathi: Izinhliziyo zamadoda akoIsrayeli zilandela uAbisalomu.
14UDavide wayesethi kuzo zonke izinceku zakhe ezazinaye eJerusalema: “Sukumani, sibaleke; ngoba asiyikuphunyuka kuAbisalomu ngenye; sheshani umuke, funa asifice ngokuzumayo, asehlisele okubi, ashaye umuzi ngosiko lwenkemba.
15Izinceku zenkosi zathi enkosini: “Bheka, izinceku zakho zilungele ukwenza noma yini inkosi yami, inkosi, eyakunquma ngayo.
16Inkosi yasiphuma lendlu yayo yonke ilandela. Inkosi yashiya abafazi abayishumi, izancinza ukuba zilinde indlu.
17Inkosi yasiphuma labo bonke abantu ababeyilandela, bahlala endaweni eyayikhatshana.
18Zonke izinceku zakhe zahamba eceleni kwakhe; wonke amaKreti, nawo onke amaPheleti, nawo onke amaGati, amadoda angamakhulu ayisithupha amlandela evela eGati, awela phambi kwenkosi.
19Inkosi yasisithi kuIthayi umGithi: Kungani lawe uhambe lathi? buyela endaweni yakho, uhlale nenkosi, ngokuba ungowezizwe futhi ungumdingi.
20Njengoba ufikile izolo, kufanele ngikuvumele wehle njalo kanye nathi namuhla? njengoba ngiya lapho engiya khona, buyani nithathe abafowenu; umusa neqiniso makube nawe!
21U-Ithayi wayiphendula inkosi, wathi: “Kuphila kukaJehova nokuphila kwenkosi yami, inkosi, isibili noma iyiphi indawo inkosi yami, inkosi, eyakuba khona, ekufeni noma ekuphileni, iyakuba khona inceku yakho.”
22UDavide wayesethi ku-Ithayi: “Dlula.” U-Ithayi umGiti wadabula namadoda akhe nabo bonke abantwana ababenaye.
23Izwe lonke lakhala ngezwi elikhulu, nabantu bonke badabula; nenkosi yadabula umfudlana iKidroni, nabantu bonke bawela ngendlela yasehlane.
24Bheka, uZadoki nawo onke amaLevi babe naye abathwala umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu; bawubeka phansi umphongolo kaNkulunkulu; u-Abiyathara wenyuka, baze baqeda bonke abantu ukuphuma emzini.
25Inkosi yathi kuSadoki: “Buyisela umphongolo kaNkulunkulu emzini; uma ngifumana umusa emehlweni kaJehova, uyakungibuyisa, angibonise wona nendawo yakhe yokuhlala.
26Kepha uma ethi: “Angithokozi ngawe; bheka, ngilapha, makenze kimi okuhle kuye.
27Inkosi yathi kuSadoki umpristi: “Awusiye umboni na? buyela emzini ngokuthula, namadodana enu omabili kanye nani, u-Ahimahasi indodana yakho noJonathani indodana ka-Abiyathara.
28Bheka, ngiyakuhlala emathafeni asogwadule, kuze kufike izwi elivela kini lokungibika.
29Ngalokho oSadoki no-Abiyathara bawubuyisela umphongolo kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema, bahlala khona.
30UDavide wakhuphuka ngommango weNtaba Yeminqumo, ekhuphuka ekhala izinyembezi, wagubuzela ikhanda lakhe, wahamba engagqokanga zicathulo; bakhuphuka.
31Kwasekubikelwa uDavida, kwathiwa: UAhithofeli uphakathi kwamagobe kaAbisalomu. UDavide wathi: “Jehova, guqula icebo lika-Ahithofeli libe ubuwula.
32UDavide esefike esiqongweni sentaba, lapho akhuleka khona kuNkulunkulu, uHushayi um-Arki wamhlangabeza, enengubo eklebhukile, enothuli ekhanda lakhe.
33UDavide wathi kuye: “Uma uhamba nami, uyakuba ngumthwalo kimi.”
34Kepha uma ubuyela emzini, uthi ku-Abisalomu: ‘Ngiyinceku yakho, nkosi; njengalokhu ngangiyinceku kayihlo kuze kube manje, ngiyakuba-yinceku yakho manje; khona-ke ungangehlula isiluleko sika-Ahithofeli.
35Abanabo abapristi oSadoki no-Abiyathara na? ngakho khuluma konke okuzwa endlini yenkosi kuSadoki loAbiyathara abapristi.
36Bheka, kukhona lapho kanye nabo amadodana abo amabili, u-Ahimahazi indodana kaSadoki no-Abiyathara indodana kaJonathani; futhi ngazo kufanele nithumele Kimi konke enikuzwayo.
37UHushayi umngane kaDavide wayesefika emzini, u-Abisalomu wafika eJerusalema.
