Akunjalo, kepha umuntu wasezintabeni zakwa -Efrayimi, nguSheba indodana kaBikri igama lakhe , uphakamisele isandla sakhe ngasenkos ini, kuDavide; nginikeni yena kuphela , khona ngiyakusuka emzini . Wayesethi owesifazane kuJowabe : Bheka, ikhanda lakhe liyakuphonswa kuwe ngaphandle kogange.

Ingelosi enamandla yafukula itshe linjengelokusila elikhulu , yaliphonsa elwandle, yathi: Ngokunjalo iBabiloni umuzi omkhulu liyakuphonswa phansi ngamandla, lingabe lisafunyanwa.

U-Efrayimi ucunulile ngokubabisayo ; icala lakhe legazi liyakuphonswa phezu kwakhe; iNkosi yakhe ibuyisele kuye ihlazo lakhe.
