19. Waya ke uBhatshebha kukumkani uSolomon, ukuba athethe naye ngoAdoniya. Wesuka ukumkani waya kumkhawulela, waqubuda kuye, wahlala etroneni yakhe, wammisela itrone unina wokumkani, wahlala ke ngasekunene kwakhe.
20. Wathi, Ndicela nto-nye kuwe; ùze ungandilanduleli. Wathi ke ukumkani kuye, Cela, ma, ngokuba andiyi kukulandulela.
21. Wathi yena, UAbhishagi waseShunem makanikwe uAdoniya, umkhuluwa wakho, abe ngumkakhe.
22. Waphendula ukumkani uSolomon, wathi kunina, Yini na ukuba uAdoniya umcelele uAbhishagi waseShunem? Sewumcelela nobukumkani, ngokuba ungumkhuluwa wam; ucélele yena, noAbhiyatare umbingeleli, noYowabhi unyana kaTseruya.
23. Ukumkani uSolomon wafunga uYehova, wathi, Makenjenje uThixo kum, aqokele ukwenjenje, ukuba uAdoniya akalithethanga elo lizwi elahla umphefumlo wakhe.
24. Ngoko, ehleli nje uYehova, ondiqinisileyo, wandihlalisa etroneni kaDavide ubawo, wandenzela indlu njengoko wakuthetháyo, úya kubulawa namhlanje uAdoniya.
25. Ukumkani uSolomon wathumela ke ngoBhenaya unyana kaYehoyada; wamgwaza, wafa.
26. NakuAbhiyatare umbingeleli wathi ukumkani, Hamba uye eAnatoti, emhlabeni wakho; ngokuba ungumfo wokufa; ke andiyi kukubulala ngale mini; ngokuba wayithwala ityeya yeNkosi uYehova phambi koDavide ubawo, nangokuba ubucinezelwe kuko konke abecinezelwe kuko ubawo.
27. USolomon wamgxotha uAbhiyatare ekubeni ngumbingeleli kaYehova; ukuze alizalise ilizwi likaYehova, awalithethayo ngendlu kaEli eShilo.
28. Lwafika olu daba kuYowabhi; ngokuba uYowabhi wayethelele kuAdoniya, noko wayengathelelanga kuAbhisalom. UYowabhi wasabela ententeni kaYehova, wabambelela ezimpondweni zesibingelelo.
29. Waxelelwa ukumkani uSolomon, ukuba uYowabhi usabele ententeni kaYehova; nanko ecaleni lesibingelelo. USolomon wathuma uBhenaya unyana kaYehoyada, wathi, Yiya umgwaze.
