7. Anoyolo amadoda akho; banoyolo abakhonzi bakho, abemiyo phambi kwakho ngamaxesha onke, bebuva ubulumko bakho.
8. Makabongwe uYehova uThixo wakho, okunoneleyo, wakubeka etroneni yakhe, ukuba ube ngukumkani kuYehova uThixo wakho, ngokuwathanda kukaThixo wakho amaSirayeli, ukuba awamise ngonaphakade; wakumisa waba ngukumkani kuwo, ukuba wenze okusesikweni nobulungisa.
9. Ukumkanikazi wanika ukumkani ikhulu elinamanci amabini eetalente* zegolide, nasebulawini into eninzi kunene, namatye anqabileyo; akuzanga kube sabakho bulawu bungangobo, ukumkanikazi waseShebha wàbunika ukumkani uSolomon.
10. Kananjalo abakhonzi bakaHiram nabakhonzi bakaSolomon, abeza negolide bevela kwaOfire, beza nemialgumi* namatye anqabileyo.

13. Ke kaloku ukulinganiswa kwegolide, eyeza kuSolomon ngamnyaka mnye, kwaba ngamakhulu amathandathu anamanci amathandathu anesithandathu iitalente zegolide,
14. iyodwa eyabarhwebi, nebiziswa ngabathengisi, neyookumkani bonke baseArabhi, neyamabamba elizwe, abezisa igolide nesilivere kuSolomon.
15. Ukumkani uSolomon wenza amakhulu amabini amakhaka egolide engumkhando; zangamakhulu amathandathu iishekele* zegolide engumkhando, awaleka ngazo khaka linye.
