30. UDavide wenyuka eqhineni leminquma, enyuka elila, egqubuthele intloko, ehamba engenazimbadada ezinyaweni zakhe; bonke abantu abenabo begqubuthele elowo intloko yakhe; benyuka, benyuka belila.
31. Kwaxelwa kuDavide, kwathiwa, UAhitofele ukubacebisi baka-Abhisalom. Wathi uDavide, Yehova, khawulitshitshise icebo lika-Ahitofele.
32. Kwathi, akuya kufika uDavide encotsheni, apho bekusakuqutyudwa khona kuThixo, nanko uHushayi umArki emkhawulela, ekrazule ingubo yakhe, enomhlaba entloko.
33. UDavide wathi kuye, Ukuba uthe wagqithela nam, woba ngumthwalo kum;
34. ke ukuba uthe wabuyela kuwo umzi, wathi kuAbhisalom, Ndoba ngumkhonzi wakho, kumkani; ndibe ndifudula ndingumkhonzi kayihlo, ngoko ndingumkhonzi wakho: wònditshitshisela ke icebo lika-Ahitofele.
35. Àbanawe na apho uTsadoki noAbhiyatare ababingeleli? Kothi ke, yonke into othe wayiva endlwini yokumkani, uyixele kuTsadoki noAbhiyatare ababingeleli.
36. Yabona, bakho khona nabo oonyana babo bobabini, uAhimahatse okaTsadoki, noYonatan oka-Abhiyatare; nòlithumela ngesandla sabo kum lonke ilizwi enithe naliva.
37. Waya ke uHushayi, umhlobo kaDavide, kuwo umzi; uAbhisalom weza eYerusalem.
