U-Abimeleki wenyukela entabeni yaseSalimoni, yena nabantu bonke ababenaye; u-Abimeleki wathatha izembe ngesandla , wagawula igatsha emithini, walithatha, walibeka ehlombe , wathi kubantu ababenaye : Lokho eningibone ngikwenza, sheshani nikwenze njengami.

Zaba sengathi abantu baphakamisa amazembe emithini eminyeneyo.

Iningi lesixuku lendlala izingubo zalo endleleni , kepha abanye bagawula amahlamvu emithini, bawendlala endleleni.

Ngokuba sasibekela ubuso bonke bomhlaba, laze laba mnyama izwe . Sadla imifino yonke nezithelo zonke zemithi ezishiywe yisichotho ; akwasala lutho oluluhlaza emithini nasemifinweni yasendle ezweni lonke laseGibithe.

Inyoka yayinobuq ili kunazo zonke izilwane zasendle abezenzile uJehova uNkulunkulu. Yathi kowesifazane: Ngempela uNkulunkulu ushilo yini ukuthi: Ningadli emithini yasensimini, na?

Ngasemuva uJoshuwa wawagenca , wawabulala, wawaphanyeka emithini eyisihlanu, alenga emithini kwaze kwahlwa.

Kwathi ngesikhathi sokushona kwe langa uJoshuwa wayala , bawehlisa emithini, bawaphonsa emhumeni lapho ebecashe khona , babeka amatshe amakhulu emlonyeni womhume; akhona nanamuhla. Ukunqotshwa kwemizi ngaseningizimu yaseKhanani
