Isandla sikaJehova sasiku-Eliya; wabopha ukhalo lwakhe, wagijima phambi kuka-Ahabi, waze wafika ekungeneni kwaseJizreyeli.

U-Ahabi wathi ku -Obadiya: Hamba ezwe ni, uye emithonjaneni yonke yamanzi nasemifudlaneni yonke; mhlawumbe singafumana utshani, sisindise amahhashi neminyuzi, izilwane zingabhubhi.

Kwathi emva kwalezo zinto uNaboti waseJizreyeli wayenesivini esasiseJizreyeli eceleni kwendlu yenkosi u-Ahabi, inkosi yaseSamariya.

Kwathi u-Izebeli esezwile ukuthi uNaboti ukhandiwe ngamatshe, wafa, u- Izebeli wathi ku -Ahabi: Suka udle isivini sikaNaboti waseJizreyeli , enqaba ukukunika sona ngesiliva, ngokuba uNaboti kasekho, ufile.

UJehova wathi: Ngubani oyakuyenga u-Ahabi ukuba enyuke afele eRamoti Gileyadi na? Omunye washo ukuthi nomunye ukuthi.

Ezinye izindaba zika -Ahabi, nakho konke akwenzayo , nendlu yezimpondo zendlovu ayakhayo , nayo yonke imizi ayakhayo , angithi kulotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli na?

U-Ahabi wayeselala koyise; u-Ahaziya waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe. UJehoshafati uyinkosi kwaJuda; u-Ahaziya uyinkosi kwa-Israyeli

UJehoshafati indodana ka -Asa waqala ukubusa kwaJuda ngomnyaka wesine ka-Ahabi inkosi yakwa-Israyeli.

UJehu wayesebulala bonke a baseleyo bendlu ka -Ahabi eJizreyeli , nabo bonke abakhulu bakhe , nabazana naye , nabapristi bakhe , waze wangamshiyela noyedwa owasalayo.

Esefike eSamariya wabulala bonke abaseleyo baka -Ahabi eSamariya, waze wamqeda njengezwi likaJehova alikhuluma ku-Eliya.

UJehu wabutha bonke abantu , wathi kubo : U-Ahabi wamkhonza uBali kancane, kepha uJehu uyakumkhonza kakhulu.

UJehova wathi kuJehu: Ngenxa yokuba wenze kahle ngokufeza okulungile emehlweni ami , futhi wenze kuyo indlu ka -Ahabi njengakho konke okwakusenhliziyweni yami, amadodana akho ezizukulwane ezine ayakuhlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sika-Israyeli.

UMowabi wahlubuka kwa-Israyeli emva kokufa kuka-Ahabi.

Ngiyakwelula phezu kweJerusalema umucu wokulinganisa waseSamariya , nomthofu wokumisa indlu ka -Ahabi; ngiyakwesula iJerusalema njengalokho umuntu esula isitsha, esesula asigumbuqele.

Uyakuchitha indlu ka -Ahabi inkosi yakho ukuba ngiphindisele igazi lezinceku zami abaprofethi negazi lezinceku zonke zikaJehova esandleni sika- Izebeli.

Yonke indlu ka-Ahabi iyakubhubha; ngiyakunquma ku-Ahabi wonke umlisa, omncane nomkhulu.

Ngiyakwenza indlu ka -Ahabi ibe njengendlu kaJerobowamu indodana kaNebati nanjengendlu kaBahasha indodana ka-Ahiya.

UJehoshafati wayenengcebo nodumo olukhulu, wahlangana ngobuhlobo no- Ahabi.

UJehova wathi: Ngubani oyakuyenga u -Ahabi inkosi yakwa -Israyeli ukuba akhuphuke, afele eRamoti Gileyadi na ? Omunye washo ukuthi nomunye ukuthi.

Ngasekugcineni kweminyaka ethile wehlela ku -Ahabi eSamariya . U-Ahabi wamhlabela yena nabantu ababenaye izimvu nezinkabi eziningi , wamncenga ukuba akhuphukele eRamoti Gileyadi.

U-Ahabi inkosi yakwa -Israyeli wathi kuJehoshafati inkosi yakwaJuda : Uyakuhamba nami , siye eRamoti Gileyadi , na? Wathi kuye: Mina nginjengawe, abantu bami banjengabantu bakho; siyakuba nawe empini.

kepha uhambe ngendlela yamakhosi akwa -Israyeli, wenza uJuda nabakhileyo eJerusalema ukuba baphinge njengokwenza kwendlu ka -Ahabi, futhi wabulala abafowenu bendlu kayihlo abahle kunawe,

Wahamba ngendlela yamakhosi akwa -Israyeli njengokwenza kw endlu ka - Ahabi, ngokuba indodakazi ka -Ahabi yayingumkakhe ; wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova.

Naye wahamba ngezindlela zendlu ka -Ahabi, ngokuba unina wayengomeluleka ukwenza okubi.

Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova njengokwenza kwendlu ka -Ahabi, ngokuba bona babengabamelulekayo emva kokufa kukayise , kwaba ngukuchithwa kwakhe.

Futhi wahamba ngeziluleko zabo , lapho ehamba noJehoramu, indodana ka- Ahabi, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, ukulwa noHazayeli inkosi yase -Aramu eRamoti Gileyadi; ama-Aramu amlimaza uJoramu.

Wabuyela ukwelashwa eJizreyeli ngenxa yaman xeba ayemlimaze wona eRama ekulweni kwakhe noHazayeli inkosi yase -Aramu. U-Azariya indodana kaJehoramu, inkosi yakwaJuda, wehla ukumbona uJehoramu indodana ka - Ahabi eJizreyeli, ngokuba wayegula.

Ukubhubha kuka -Ahaziya kwavela kuNkulunkulu ekuyeni kwakhe kuJoramu, ngokuba lapho esefikile khona waphuma noJehoramu ukulwa noJehu indodana kaNimishi , amgcobileyo uJehova ukuba anqume indlu ka - Ahabi.

Kwathi lapho uJehu ahlulela indlu ka -Ahabi, wafumanisa izikhulu zakwaJuda namadodana abafowabo baka -Ahaziya abab ekhonza u -Ahaziya; wababulala.

Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, ngo-Ahabi indodana kaKholaya nangoSedekiya indodana kaMahaseya abaprofetha amanga kin i egameni lami , uthi: Bheka, ngiyakubanikela esandleni sikaNebukadinesari inkosi yaseBabele; uyakubabulala phambi kwamehlo enu.
