30. Wathi ukumkani, Shenxela ecaleni, ume apha. Washenxa wema.
31. Nanko ke uKushi efika. Wathi uKushi, Mayishunyayezwe iindaba ezilungileyo inkosi yam ukumkani; ngokuba uYehova ukugwebele namhla, wakukhulula esandleni sabo bonke ababesukele phezulu kuwe.
32. Wathi ukumkani kuKushi, Ihleli kakuhle na indodana uAbhisalom? Wathi uKushi, Iintshaba zenkosi yam ukumkani, nabo bonke abasukele phezulu kuwe ukukwenza into embi, mababe njengaloo ndodana.
33. Wagungqa ukumkani; wenyuka waya egumbini eliphezu kwesango, walila, wathetha ekuyeni kwakhe, esithi, Nyana wam, Abhisalom, nyana wam, nyana wam, Abhisalom! Akwaba bekufe mna esikhundleni sakho, Abhisalom, nyana wam, nyana wam!
