Inqola yenyuka yaphuma eGibithe ngamashekeli angamakhulu ayisithupha esiliva nehhashi ngayikhulu namashumi ayisihlanu ; bawakhiphela kanjalo onke amakhosi amaHeti namakhosi ase-Aramu ngezandla zabo.

Wamelana no -Israyeli zonke izinsuku zikaSolomoni phezu kokubi akwenzayo uHadadi, wanengwa ngu-Israyeli, wabusa e-Aramu. Isiprofetho sika-Ahiya

U-Asa wayesethatha lonke isiliva negolide elalisele engcebeni yendlu kaJehova nengcebo yendlu yenkosi , wakunikela ezandleni zezinceku zakhe ; inkosi u -Asa yazithuma kuBeni Hadadi indodana kaTabirimoni kaHeziyoni , inkosi yase-Aramu, owayehlala eDamaseku, yathi:

Wayesethi uJehova kuye : Hamba, ubuye ngendlela yakho , uye ehlane laseDamaseku; usufikile khona uyakumgcoba uHazayeli abe yinkosi yase - Aramu;

UBeni Hadadi inkosi yase -Aramu wabutha yonke impi yakhe ; wayenamakhosi angamashumi amathathu nambili , namahhashi, nezinqola; wenyuka, wavimbezela iSamariya, walwa nalo,

Babulala, kwaba yilowo nalowo umuntu wakhe ; ama-Aramu abaleka , u- Israyeli wawaxosha ; uBeni Hadadi inkosi yama -Aramu waphunyuka ngehhashi kanye nabamahhashi.

Inkosi yakwa -Israyeli yaphuma , yagenca amahhashi nezinqola , yabulala ama-Aramu ngokuceka okukhulu.

Umprofethi wasondela enkosini yakwa -Israyeli, wathi kuyo : Hamba uziqinise, uqaphele, ubone oyakukwenza, ngokuba emva komnyaka inkosi yama-Aramu iyakwenyuka ukulwa nawe.

Izinceku zenkosi yama -Aramu zathi kuyo : Unkulunkulu wabo ungunkulunkulu wezintaba , ngalokho basahlula ; kepha masilwe nabo ethafeni, impela siyakubahlula.

Kwathi emva komnyaka uBeni Hadadi wabala ama -Aramu, wenyukela e - Afeki ukuba alwe no-Israyeli.

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli babalwa , baphiwa ukudla , bahamba ukuhlangabezana nabo ; abakwa-Israyeli bamisa phambi kwabo njengemihlanjana emibili yamazinyane ezimbuzi , kepha ama -Aramu agcwalisa izwe.

Wayesesondela umuntu kaNkulunkulu, wathi enkosini yakwa-Israyeli: Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Ngokuba ama -Aramu eshilo ukuthi uJehova ungunkulunkulu wezintaba , kasiye unkulunkulu wezigodi , ngiyakusinikela sonke lesi sixuku esikhulu esandleni sakho, nize nazi ukuthi nginguJehova.

Base bemisile bebhekana izinsuku eziyisikhombisa . Kwathi ngosuku lwesikhombisa kwaqala ukuliwa ; abantwana bakwa -Israyeli babulala ama - Aramu ayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu ayimigundatshani ngalusuku lunye.

Bahlala iminyaka emithathu kungekho ukulwa phakathi kwe -Aramu no - Israyeli.

USedekiya indodana kaKhenahana wazenzela izimpondo zensimbi , wathi: Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ngalezi uyakuqhubukusha ama-Aramu aze aphele.

Inkosi yakwa-Israyeli yathi ezincekwini zayo: Niyazi ukuthi iRamoti Gileyadi lingelethu na? Kepha siyathula, asilikhiphi esandleni senkosi yase-Aramu.

Kepha inkosi yase -Aramu ibiyalile izinduna ezingamashumi amathathu nambili zezinqola zayo ngokuthi : Ningalwi namuntu , omncane noma omkhulu, kuphela nenkosi yakwa-Israyeli yodwa.

Ukulwa kwaqina ngalolo suku ; inkosi yasekelwa enqoleni yayo malungana nama-Aramu, yafa ngakusihlwa; igazi lenxeba laphalazeka phansi enqoleni.

Ama-Aramu aseDamaseku esefika ukumsiza uHadarezeri inkosi yaseSoba , uDavide wabulala kuma -Aramu abantu abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nambili.

UDavide wamisa amakhanda e -Aramu laseDamaseku ; ama-Aramu aba yizinceku zikaDavide, athela intela. UJehova wamnqobisa uDavide nomaphi lapho eya khona.

UJowabe esebona ukuthi impi ibhekene naye ngaphambili nangasemuva , wakhetha kwabakhethekileyo bonke bakwa -Israyeli, wabahlela ukuba balwe nama-Aramu;

Wathi: Uma ama -Aramu engahlula , uyakungisiza; kepha uma abantwana bakwa-Amoni bekwahlula, ngiyakukusiza.

UJowabe nabantu ababe naye base besondela kuwo ama -Aramu ukuba balwe; kepha abaleka phambi kwakhe.

Lapho abantwana bakwa -Amoni bebona ukuthi ama -Aramu abalekile , babaleka nabo phambi kuka-Abishayi umfowabo , bangena emzini ; kepha uJowabe waya eJerusalema.

Ama-Aramu esebonile ukuthi anqotshiwe phambi kuka -Israyeli, athuma izithunywa, akhipha ama -Aramu ayephesheya koMfula noShofaki induna yempi kaHadarezeri phambi kwawo.

UDavide watshelwa , wabutha wonke u -Israyeli, wawela iJordani , wawafikela, wahlela impi ukulwa nawo . UDavide esehlelile impi ukulwa nama-Aramu, alwa naye.

Ama-Aramu abaleka phambi kuka -Israyeli; uDavide wabulala kuma -Aramu izinqola eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa nemigundatshani eyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amane, wabulala noShofaki induna yempi.

Lapho izinceku zikaHadarezeri zibonile ukuthi zinqotshiwe phambi kuka - Israyeli, zenza ukuthula noDavide , zamkhonza; ama-Aramu awatha ndanga ukusiza abantwana bakwa-Amoni futhi.

Abantwana bakwa -Amoni sebebone ukuthi bazenzile ukuba banengeke kuDavide, uHanuni nabantwana bakwa -Amoni bathuma amatalenta ayinkulungwane esiliva ukuziqashela izinqola nabamahhashi e -Aramu Naharayimi, nase-Aramu Mahakha, naseSoba.

Amadodana kaShemi: ngo-Elamu, no-Ashuri, no-Arpakishade, noLude, no- Aramu, no-Use, noHule, noGeteri, noMesheke.

OGeshuri no-Aramu babaphuca imiz i kaJayirem, kanye neKhenati nemizi yalo, imizi engamashumi ayisithupha . Bonke labo babe ngamadodana kaMakiri uyise kaGileyadi.

Amadodana kaShemeri: ngo-Ahi, noRohiga, noJehuba, no-Aramu.

Khona uHazayeli inkosi yase -Aramu wenyuka walwa neGati , walithatha; uHazayeli wabhekisa ubuso bakhe ukwenyukela eJerusalema.

UJehowashi, inkosi yakwaJuda , wathatha zonke izinto ezingcwele , ezingcwelisiwe ngoJehoshafati noJehoramu no-Ahaziya oyise , amakhosi akwaJuda, nezinto zakhe ezingcwelisiwe , nalo lonke igolide elafunyanwa engcebeni endlini kaJehova nasendlini yenkosi , wakuthuma kuHazayeli inkosi yase-Aramu; wayesesuka eJerusalema.

Wathi: Vula ifasitele ngasempumalanga . Yalivula. Wayesethi u -Elisha: Cibishela. Yacibishela-ke. Wathi: Ngumcibisholo kaJehova wokusindisa , umcibisholo wokusindiswa kuma -Aramu, ngokuba uyakubulala ama -Aramu e-Afeki, uwaqede.

Lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu wayithukuthelela , wathi: Uma ubushaye kahlanu noma kayisithupha, wawulahlulile i -Aramu waze waliqeda , kepha manje uyakulahlula i-Aramu kathathu kuphela.

Kwathi lapho besammbela umuntu othile , bheka, babona iviyo; bamlahla umuntu ethuneni lika-Elisha. Lowo muntu wanele ukuthinta nje amathambo ka-Elisha, waphila, wema ngezinyawo zakhe. Ama-Aramu ayahlulwa

UHazayeli inkosi yase -Aramu wayecindezele u -Israyeli zonke izinsuku zikaJehowahazi.

UHazayeli inkosi yase -Aramu wafa ; uBeni Hadadi indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

Intukuthelo kaJehova yavuthela u -Israyeli, wabanikela esandleni sikaHazayeli inkosi yase -Aramu nasesandleni sikaBeni Hadadi indodana kaHazayeli sonke lesi sikhathi.

UJehowahazi wakhuleka kuJehova , uJehova wamuzwa , ngokuba wabona ukucindezelwa kuka-Israyeli ukuthi inkosi yase-Aramu yayibacindezela.

UJehova wanika u -Israyeli umsindisi , baphuma phansi kwesandla sama - Aramu; abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahlala ematendeni abo njengakuqala.

Ngokuba akashiyanga abantu kuJehowahazi , kuphela abamahhashi abangamashumi ayisihlanu , nezinqola eziyishumi , nemigundatshani eyizinkulungwane eziyishumi , ngokuba inkosi yase -Aramu yabac hitha, yabenza baba njengothuli ekubhuleni.

Ngalezo zinsuku uJehova waqala ukuthuma kuJuda uResini , inkosi yase- Aramu noPheka indodana kaRemaliya.

Ngaleso sikhathi uResini , inkosi ya se-Aramu, noPheka indodana kaRemaliya, inkosi yakwa -Israyeli, benyukela eJerusalema ukulwa nalo ; bamvimbezela u-Ahazi, kepha babengenakumahlula.

Ngaleso sikhathi uResini inkosi yase -Aramu wabuyisela i -Elati e -Aramu, waxosha abaJuda e -Elati; ama-Aramu afika e-Elati, ahlala khona kuze kube namuhla.

U-Ahazi wathuma izithunywa kuThigilati Phileseri inkosi yase-Asiriya ngokuthi: Mina ngiyinceku yakho nendodana yakho : yenyuka, ungisindise esandleni senkosi yase -Aramu nasesandleni senkosi yakwa -Israyeli angivukelayo.

Base bethi u -Eliyakimi indodana kaHilikiya noShebina noJowa kuRabi Shake: Ake ukhulume ezincekwini zakho ngesi -Aramu, ngokuba siy aluzwa, ungakhulumi kithi ngolimi lwabaJuda ezindlebeni zabantu abasogangeni.

UJehova wathuma kuye amaviyo amaKaledi , namaviyo ama-Aramu, namaviyo abakwaMowabi, namaviyo abantwana bakwa -Amoni, wawathuma kuJuda ukumchitha njengezwi likaJehova alikhulumayo ngesandla sezinceku zakhe abaprofethi.

UNahamani induna yempi yenkosi yase -Aramu wayengumuntu omkhulu phambi kwenkosi yakhe , otusekayo, ngokuba uJehova wayenikile i -Aramu ukunqoba ngaye; futhi wayeyiqhawe elinamandla, kepha wayenochoko.

Ama-Aramu ayephumile ngamaviyo , abuya ezweni lakwa -Israyeli enentombazana encane; yayiyincekukazi yomkaNahamani.

Kepha uGehazi inceku ka-Elisha umuntu kaNkulunkulu wathi: Bheka, inkosi yami imyekile uNahamani lo wase -Aramu ngokungamukeli ezandleni zakhe akulethayo; kuphila kukaJehova, ngiyakugijima, ngimlandele, ngithathe into kuye.

Inkosi yase -Aramu yayisithi : Yiya khona ; ngizakuthuma incwadi enkosini yakwa-Israyeli. Wasuka, wahamba namatalenta ayishumi esiliva nezinhlamvu eziyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha zegolide , nezingubo eziyishumi zokuphendulela.

Inhliziyo yenkosi yase -Aramu yayiphethwe yitwetwe ngale ndaba , yabiza izinceku zayo , yathi kuzo : Ningengitshele yini ukuthi ngobani abakithi abavuma inkosi yakwa-Israyeli na?

Yayisibalungisela idili, badla, baphuza; yabavumela ukuba bahambe , baya enkosini yabo . Amaviyo ama -Aramu awabe esaphinda ukungena ezweni lakwa-Israyeli. Indlala yaseSamariya

Kwathi emva kwalokho uBeni Hadadi , inkosi yase-Aramu, wabutha yonke impi yakhe, wenyuka, wavimbezela iSamariya.

Inkosi yase-Aramu yayisilokhu ilwa no -Israyeli; yelulekana nezinceku zayo ngokuthi: Ukumisa kwami kuyakuba sekuthinithini.

Umuntu lowo kaNkulunkulu wathumela enkosini yakwa -Israyeli, wathi: Qaphela ukuba ungadluli kuleyo ndawo , ngokuba ama-Aramu aseyaphumula khona.

Base behamba, babiza abalindisango bomuzi, babatshela ukuthi: Sike safika ekamu lama -Aramu; bheka, kwakungekho muntu lapho , nazwi lomuntu, kuphela ngamahhashi aboshiweyo , nezimbongolo eziboshiweyo, namatende enjengalokhu enjalo.

Inkosi yavuka phakathi kobusuku , yathi ezincekwini zayo : Ake nginitshele lokhu ama-Aramu asenzela khona . Ayazi ukuthi silambile ; ngalokho aphumile ekamu ukuba acashe, ethi: Lapho bephuma emzini, siyakubabamba besezwa, singene emzini.

Bathatha izinqola ezimbili namahhashi ; inkosi yathumela emva kwempi yama-Aramu ngokuthi: Hambani nibone.

Bawalandela baze bafika eJordani; bheka, yonke indlela yayigcwele izingubo nezimpahla ama -Aramu ayezilahlile ekubalekeni kwawo . Izithunywa zabuya, zayitshela inkosi.

Abantu baphuma , baphanga ikamu lama -Aramu. Iseya lempuphu ecolekileyo lathengiswa ngeshekeli , namaseya amabili e bhali ngeshek eli njengezwi likaJehova.

Induna inkosi eyencika esandleni sayo yaphendula umuntu kaNkulunkulu , yathi: Bheka, uma uJehova enza amafasitele ezulwini , le nto ingenzeka kanjani na ? Wathi: Bheka, uyakukubona ngamehlo akho , ungadli kukho kodwa. Abanochoko basemnyango waseSamariya. Ukubaleka kwama-Aramu

Uma sithi : S iyakungena emzini , indlala isemzini , siyakufela khona ; uma sihlezi lapha , siyakufa futhi . Ngalokho masihambe sisukele ikamu lama - Aramu; uma esiyeka, siyakuphila; uma esibulala, siyakufa.

Basuka kuh welela, baya ekamu lama -Aramu; sebefike emaphethelweni ekamu lama-Aramu, bheka, kwakungekho muntu lapho.

INkosi ibiyizwisile impi yama -Aramu umsindo wezinqola , nomsindo wamahhashi, nomsindo wempi enkulu aze akhuluma omunye komunye ngokuthi: Bheka, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli isiqashele amakhosi amaHeti namakhosi aseGibithe ukuba asifikele.

Kepha uHazayeli wathi: Kodwa iyini inceku yakho eyinja nje ukuba yenze le nto e nkulu na ? Wathi u-Elisha: UJehova ungibonisile ukuthi uyakuba yinkosi e-Aramu.

Wahamba noJoramu , indodana ka -Ahabi, ukuba alwe noHazayeli inkosi yase-Aramu eRamoti Gileyadi; ama-Aramu amlimaza uJoramu.

Inkosi uJoramu yabuyela ukwelashwa eJizreyeli emanxebeni ayo ayemlimaze wona ama -Aramu eRama ekulweni kwayo noHazayeli inkosi yase-Aramu. U-Ahaziya, indodana kaJehoramu , inkosi yakwaJuda , wehlela ukumbona uJoramu, indodana ka-Ahabi eJizreyeli, ngokuba wayegula.

Inkosi yayisimbuza owesifazane , wayilandisa. Inkosi yammisela induna ethile ngokuthi : Buyisa konke okwakungokwakhe nazo zonke izithelo zensimu, kusukela osukwini owasuka ngalo ezweni kuze kube manje. UHazayeli uyinkosi e-Aramu

Wayesefika u-Elisha eDamaseku; uBeni Hadadi inkosi yase-Aramu wayegula; watshelwa ukuthi: Umuntu kaNkulunkulu ufikile lapha.

Wayesehamba uHazayeli ukumhlangabeza , wazithathela ngesandla sakhe izipho ezintweni zonke ezinhle zaseDa maseku, imithwalo yamakamela angamashumi amane, weza wema phambi kwakhe , wathi: Indodana yakho uBeni Hadadi, inkosi yase-Aramu, ingithumile kuwe ngokuthi: Ngiyakusinda kulesi sifo na?

UJehu, indodana kaJehoshafati, kaNimishi, wamenzela ugobe uJoramu -- uJoramu wayelinda eRamoti Gileyadi , yena naye wonke u -Israyeli ngenxa kaHazayeli, inkosi yase-Aramu;

kepha inkosi uJoramu yayibuyele eJizreyeli ukuba yelashwe emanxebeni ayo eyayilinyazwe wona ngama -Aramu ekulweni kwayo noHazayeli , inkosi yase-Aramu, uJehu wathi: Uma kungumqondo wenu lokhu , makungabaleki muntu, aphume emzini, aye ukubika eJizreyeli.

U-Asa wakhipha isiliva negolide engcebeni yendlu kaJeho va nasendlini yenkosi, wathumela kuBeni Hadadi, inkosi yase-Aramu owahlala eDamaseku, wathi:

Ngaleso sikhathi kwe za uHanani, umboni ka-Asa, inkosi yakwaJuda, wathi kuye: Ngokuba wencike enkosini yase -Aramu, ungencikanga kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho , ngalokho impi yenkosi yase -Aramu iphunyukile esandleni sakho.

USedekiya indodana kaKhenahana wazenzela izimpondo zensimbi , wathi: Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ngalezi uyakuqhubukusha ama-Aramu aze aphele.

Kepha inkosi yase -Aramu ibiyalile izinduna zezinqola zayo ngokuthi : Ningalwi namuntu, omncane noma omkhulu, kuphela nenkosi yakwa-Israyeli yodwa.

Ukulwa kwaqina ngalolo suku ; inkosi yakwa -Israyeli yasekelwa enqoleni yayo malungana nama -Aramu kwaze kwaba kusihlwa , yafa ngesikhathi sokushona kwelanga.

Bakhuphula, bakhipha eGibithe inqola ngamashekeli angamakhulu ayisithupha esiliva , nehhashi ng ayikhulu namashumi ayisihlanu ; bawakhiphela kanjalo onke amakhosi amaHeti namakhosi ase -Aramu ngezandla zabo.

Kwafika abanye , bamtshela uJehoshafati , bathi: Kusondela kuwe isixuku esikhulu sivela phesheya kolwandle e-Aramu; bheka, sebeseHasasoni Thamari eliyi-Eni Gedi.

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.

Kwathi ngasekupheleni komnyaka impi yase -Aramu yakhuphukela kuye , yafika kwaJuda naseJerusalema, yabhubhisa zonke izikhulu zabantu phakathi kwabantu, yathuma yonke impango yazo enkosini yaseDamaseku.

Ngokuba impi yase -Aramu yafika neviyo elincane labantu , nokho uJehova wanikela impi enkulu kakhulu esandleni sabo , ngokuba babemshiyile uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise. Base bemahlulela uJowashi.

Wahlabela onkulunkulu baseDamaseku ababemshayile , wathi: Ngokuba onkulunkulu bamakhosi ase -Aramu bawasiza , ngiyakubahlabela ukuba bangisize nami. Kepha baba yisikhubekiso kuye nakuye wonke u-Israyeli.

UJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe wayesemnikela esandleni senkosi yase - Aramu, bamshaya, bathumba kuye isixuku esikhulu sabathunjwa , babayisa eDamaseku. Naye wanikelwa esandleni senkosi yakwa -Israyeli eyamshaya ngokushaya okukhulu.

Wathi: Uma ama -Aramu engahlula , uyakungisiza; kepha uma abantwana bakwa-Amoni bekwahlula, ngiyakufika ngikusize.

UJowabe nabantu ababe naye base besondela ukuba balwe nama -Aramu; kepha abaleka phambi kwakhe.

Lapho abantwana bakwa -Amoni bebona ukuthi ama -Aramu abalekile , babaleka nabo phambi kuka-Abishayi, bangena emzini. UJowabe wayesebuya kubantwana bakwa-Amoni, weza eJerusalema.

Ama-Aramu esebonile ukuthi anqotshiwe phambi kuka -Israyeli, abuthana ndawonye.

UHadadezeri wathuma wakhipha ama -Aramu ayephesheya koMfula ; afika eHelamu, uShobaki induna yempi kaHadadezeri ephambi kwawo.

UDavide watshelwa, wabutha wonke u -Israyeli, wawela iJordani , wafika eHelamu. Ama-Aramu azihlela ukuhlangabezana noDavide, alwa naye.

Ama-Aramu abaleka phambi kuka -Israyeli; uDavide wabulala kuma -Aramu izinqola ezingamakhulu ayisikhombisa nabamahhashi abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amane , wamshaya uShobaki induna yempi yabo , wafela khona lapho.

Lapho onke amakhosi ayeyizinceku zikaHadadezeri ebonile ukuthi anqotshiwe phambi kuka -Israyeli, enza ukuthula no -Israyeli, abakhonza. Ama-Aramu ayesesaba ukusiza abantwana bakwa-Amoni futhi.

Abantwana bakwa-Amoni sebebone ukuthi banengekile kuDavide , abakwa- Amoni bathuma baqasha ama -Aramu aseBeti Rehobe nama -Aramu aseSoba, imigundatshani eyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili , nenkosi yaseMahakha inabantu abayinkulungwan e, nabantu baseThobi beyizinkulungwane eziyishumi nambili.

Abantwana bakwa -Amoni baphuma , bahlela impi ngasesikhaleni sesango ; ama-Aramu aseSoba naseRehobe , nabantu baseThobi , nabaseMahakha babebodwa endle.

Kepha uJowabe esebona ukuthi izimpondo zempi zimhaqile ngaphambili nangasemuva wakhetha kwabakhethekileyo bakwa-Israyeli, wabahlela ukuba balwe nama-Aramu;

Ngokuba inceku yakho yenza isithembiso ngisahlezi eGeshuri lase -Aramu sokuthi: U ma uJehova engibuyisela impela eJerusalema , ngiyakumkhonza uJehova.

e-Aramu, nakwaMowabi, nakubantwana bakwa -Amoni, nakumaFilisti, naku-Amaleki, nasempangweni kaHadadez eri indodana kaRehobe , inkosi yaseSoba.

UDavide wazenzela igama ekubuyeni kwakhe esebulele ama -Aramu ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nesishiyagalombili esiGodini sikaSawoti.

Ama-Aramu aseDamaseku esefika ukumsiza uHadadezeri inkosi yaseSoba , uDavide wabulala abantu abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nambili kuma-Aramu.

UDavide wamisa amakhanda e -Aramu laseDamaseku , ama-Aramu aba yizinceku zikaDavide, athela intela. UJehova wamnqobisa uDavide nomaph i lapho eya khona.

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli babuye benza okubi emehlweni kaJehova , babakhonza oBali , no-Ashitaroti, nawonkulunkulu base -Aramu, nawonkulunkulu baseSidoni , nawonkulunkulu bakwaMowabi , nawonkulunkulu babantwana bakwa -Amoni, nawonkulunkulu bamaFilisti , bamshiya uJehova, kabamkhonza.

UMoya kaJehova wayephezu kwakhe, wahlulela u-Israyeli, waphuma impi, uJehova wanikela uKushani Rishatayimi inkosi yase-Aramu Naharayimi esandleni sakhe; isandla sakhe samahlula uKushani Rishatayimi.

Ngalokho intukuthelo kaJehova yavuthela u -Israyeli, wathengisa ngabo esandleni sikaKushani Rishatayimi inkosi yase -Aramu Naharayimi ; abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bamkhonza uKushani Rishatayimi iminyaka eyisishiyagalombili.

uJuda wazala oFaresi noZara kuTamari , uFaresi wazala u -Esiromu, u- Esiromu wazala u-Aramu;

u-Aramu wazala u -Aminadaba, u-Aminadaba wazala uNasoni , uNasoni wazala uSalimoni;

Ngiyakwaphula imigoqo yaseDamaseku , nginqume abakhileyo eBikati Aveni, nophethe intonga eBeti Edene, abantu base-Aramu bathunjelwe eKhiri, usho uJehova.

Aninjengabantwana bakwaKushe kimi , nina bantwana bakwa -Israyeli, na? usho uJehova . Angikhuphulanga u -Israyeli ezweni laseGibithe , namaFilisti eKafitori, nama-Aramu eKhiri, na? Insali

Emihleni ka -Aritahishashita oBishilamu , noMithiredati, noThabeyeli, nabanye abangane bakhe baloba ku -Aritahishashita inkosi yasePheresiya ; okulotshiweyo kwakunjengokulotshwa kwesi -Aramu, kwachazwa ngesi - Aramu.

Inqaba iyakuphela kwa -Efrayimi, nombuso eDamaseku , nensali e -Aramu, kube njengodumo lwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, usho uJehova Sebawoti.

Base be thi o-Eliyakimi noShebina noJowa kuRabi Shake : Ake ukhulume ezincekwini zakho ngesi -Aramu, ngokuba siyaluzwa , ungakhulumi kithi ngolimi lwabaJuda ezindlebeni zabantu abasogangeni.

Kwathi ezinsukwini zik a-Ahazi indodana kaJothamu ka -Uziya, inkosi yakwaJuda, uResini inkosi yase-Aramu noPheka indodana kaRemaliya, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, bakhuphukela eJerusalema ukulwa nalo , kepha babengenakulinqoba.

Kwatshelwa indlu kaDavide ukuthi : I-Aramu limise kwa -Efrayimi. Yayisiqhaqhazela inhliziyo yakhe nenhliziyo yabantu bakhe njengemithi yasehlathini ithuthumela ngomoya.

usho kuye ukuthi : Xwaya, uthule; ungesabi, nenhliziyo yakho mayingadangali ngemisila emibili yalezi zikhuni ezithunqayo , ngokuvutha kolaka lukaResini ne-Aramu nolwendodana kaRemaliya.

Ngokuba i-Aramu no-Efrayimi nendodana kaRemaliya bacebile okubi ngawe, bathi:

Ngokuba inhloko yase -Aramu iyiDamaseku , nenhloko yeDamaseku inguResini; phakathi kweminyaka engamashum i ayisithupha nanhlan u u- Efrayimi uyakwaphulwa angabe esaba yisizwe.

i-Aramu ngaphambili namaFilisti ngasemuva , bamudle u -Israyeli ngomlomo okhamisiweyo ; kukho konke lokhu intukuthelo yakhe ayibuyi , isandla sakhe siseluliwe.

Ayesekhuluma amaKaledi enkosini ngesi -Aramu, athi: Mana njalo , nkosi; yisho ezincekwini zakho iphupho, thina sibonise incazelo.
