wazihlanangisa naye ukwenza imikhumbi yokuya eTharishishi ; bayenza imikhumbi e-Esiyoni Geberi.

U-Eliyezeri indodana kaDodavahu waseMaresha waprofetha ngoJehoshafati ngokuthi: Ngenxa yokuba uzihlanganisile no -Ahaziya, uJehova uyakudiliza imisebenzi yakho. Yaphuka-ke imikhumbi, yathiyeka ukuya eTharishishi.

Ngokuba inko si yayinemikhumbi eyaya eTharishishi kanye nezinceku zikaHiramu; kanye ngeminyaka emithathu yafika imikhumbi yaseTharishishi iletha igolide, nesiliva, nezimpondo zendlovu, nezimfene, namapikoko.

Welani niye eTharishishi; klewulani nina enakhileyo ngasogwini.

Ngiyakubeka isibonakaliso phakathi kwazo , ngithume ababalekileyo babo kwabezizwe, eTharishishi, nasePhuli, naseLudi, abagoba umnsalo , nakuThubali naseJavani, eziqhingini ezikude, ezingezwanga umbiko ngami , zingabonanga inkazimulo yami, baze balande ngenkazimulo yami ezizweni.

Kepha uJona wasuka ebusweni bukaJehova ukuba abalekele eTharishishi , wehlela eJopha , wafumana umkhumbi obuyakuya eTharishishi ; wakhokha imali yawo, wakhwela kuwo, ukuba ahambe nawo , aye eTharishishi, asuke ebusweni bukaJehova.

Wakhuleka kuJehova , wathi: Ngiyakuncenga, Jehova; lokho kwakungesilo izwi lami ngisekhona ezweni lakithi na ? Ngalokho ngak wandulela ngokubalekela eTharishishi , ngokuba ngiyazi ukuthi unguNkulunkulu onomusa nobumnene , wephuza ukuthukuthela , unesihe esikhulu , uzisola ngokubi;
