2. Abizelwa ndawonye kukumkani uSolomon onke amadoda akwaSirayeli emthendelekweni ngenyanga enguEtanim: yinyanga yesixhenxe ke leyo.
3. Eza ke onke amadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli; bayithwala ababingeleli ityeya leyo.
4. Benyuka nayo ityeya kaYehova, nentente yokuhlangana, neempahla zonke zengcwele ezibe zisententeni; benyuka nazo ababingeleli nabaLevi.
5. Ke ukumkani uSolomon nebandla lonke lamaSirayeli, elibe lihlanganiselene kuye, linaye phambi kwetyeya, babingelela impahla emfutshane neenkomo ezingenakubalwa, ezingenakulinganiswa ukuba zininzi kwazo.
6. Bayingenisa ababingeleli ityeya yomnqophiso kaYehova endaweni yayo, endaweni yezihlabo endlwini, engcweleni kangcwele, phantsi kwamaphiko eekerubhi.*
7. Ngokuba iikerubhi zaye ziwolulele amaphiko phezu kwendawo yetyeya, iikerubhi zayisithelisa ityeya nezibonda zayo ngaphezulu.
