Naye uJeremiya wamlilela uJosiya ; bonke abahlabeleli besilisa nabesifazane bakhuluma ngoJosiya ekulileni kwabo kuze kube namuhla ; bakwenza kwaba yisimiso kwa-Israyeli; bheka, kulotshiwe eziLilweni.

Khona uHerode , esebonile ukuthi izazi zimphambile , wathukuthela kakhulu, wathumela wabulala bonke abantwana besilisa baseBetlehema nasendaweni yonke yangakhona , abaminyaka mibili nangaphansi njengesikhathi abesibuzisisile kuzo izazi.

ngaphandle kwezinceku zabo nezincekukazi zabo ezaziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa namakhulu amathathu namashumi amathathu nesikhombisa; babe nabahlabeleli besilisa nabesifazane abangamakhulu amabili.

Abanye abantwana bakwaManase babelwa nabo ngemindeni yabo : abantwana bakwa-Abiyezeri, nabantwana bakwaHeleki, nabantwana bakwa- Asiriyeli, nabantwana bakwaShekemi, nabantwana bakwaHeferi, nabantwana bakwaShemida; labo babe ngabantwana besilisa bakwaManase indodana kaJosefa ngemindeni yabo.
