9. UYehova ke waba nomsindo kuSolomon, ngokuba ibityekile intliziyo yakhe, yemka kuYehova uThixo kaSirayeli, owayebonakele kuye izihlandlo ezibini;
10. emwisele umthetho ngaloo nto, ukuba angalandeli thixo bambi; àkawugcina umthetho abemwisele wona uYehova.
11. Wathi ke uYehova kuSolomon, Ngenxa enokuba unaloo nto, akwawugcina umnqophiso wam, nemimiselo yam endikumiseleyo, okwenene, ndiya kubukrazula ubukumkani kuwe, ndibunike umkhonzi wakho.
12. Kodwa ke andiyi kukwenza oko ngemihla yakho, ngenxa kaDavide uyihlo; ndiya kubukrazula esandleni sonyana wakho.
13. Kodwa andiyi kubukrazula bonke ubukumkani; ndomnika isizwe esinye unyana wakho, ngenxa kaDavide umkhonzi wam, nangenxa yeYerusalem endiyinyulileyo.
14. Ke uYehova wamvelisela uSolomon utshaba olunguHadade umEdom; yena ubengowembewu yokumkani kwaEdom.
15. Kwakuthe, oko uDavide ebekwaEdom, ekunyukeni kukaYowabhi umthethelimkhosi eye kungcwaba abahlatyiweyo, waxabela yonke into engamadoda kwaEdom
16. (ngokuba wahlala iinyanga zantandathu khona uYowabhi namaSirayeli onke, wada wayinqumla yonke into engamadoda kwaEdom);
17. wabaleka uHadade, yena namaEdom akubakhonzi boyise kunye naye, baya eYiputa; ke uHadade waye eyinkwenkwana oko.
18. Besuka kwaMidiyan, beza eParan; bathabatha amadoda eParan, ahamba nabo; beza eYiputa kuFaro, ukumkani waseYiputa. Yena ke wamnika indlu, wathi makazuze ukudla, wamnika ilizwe.
19. UHadade wababalwa kakhulu nguFaro; wamnika umfazi, umsakwabo bomkakhe, umsakwabo boTapenes inkosikazi.
