7. Shimei a rohakana, a re: Tloha, tloha, motho ya madi, motho wa Beliale!
8. Jehova a busetse ho wena madi wohle a ntlo ya Saule, eo o ikentseng morena tulong tsa hae. Jehova o neile mora hao Absalome mmuso, mme bona, o tshwasitswe ke bobe ba hao, etswe o le motho ya madi.
9. Ebile Abishai, mora Tseruja, o re ho morena: Ana ntja eo e shweleng e rohakelang morena, monga ka? O ntumelle ke ye, ke mo kgaole hlooho.
10. Morena a re: Ke na le taba efe le lona, bara ba Tseruja? A nne a rohakane bo! Ha Jehova a mmoleletse hore a rohake Davida, ke mang ya ka reng ho yena: O etsetsang jwalo?
11. Davida a eketsa a re ho Abishai le ho bahlanka ba hae bohle: Bonang, ha esita mora ka ya tswileng maleng ho nna, a pheheletse ho mpolaya, Mobenjamine eo o tshwanetse ho mo fetisa hakakang! Mo tloheleng, a nne a rohake, etswe Jehova a mo laetse.
12. Ekaba Jehova o tla tadima tshwenyeho ya ka, hore Jehova a busetse botle ho nna bakeng sa hlapa tsa kajeno tsa motho eo.
13. Kahoo Davida le banna ba hae ba ya pele ka tsela ya bona; Shimei yena a nna a ya le mothati wa thaba, malokana le Davida, a ya a ntse a rohakana, a mmetsa ka majwe, a thuntsha lerole.
