Ukumkani waba nengevane, wenyuka waya kwigumbi eliphezu kwesango, wafika walila. Wayehamba elila, esithi: “Yini umntwana wam! Awu, nyana wam Abhasalom, nyana wam Abhasalom! Akwaba ibindim ofileyo, Abhasalom, nyana wam, nyana wam!”

UAbhasalom wagaxeleka phakathi kweqela lamadoda kaDavide. Wayekhwele embongolweni. Kuthe xa ithubeleza ngaphantsi kom-oki omkhulu, wabambeka ngentloko kuloo masebe omthi. Yabaleka yemka imbongolo, wasala yena ejinga emoyeni. Wabonwa ngumfo othile owaxelela uJowabhi wathi: “UAbhasalom ndimbone ejinga emthini wom-oki.”
