Isandla sikaJehova sasiku-Eliya; wabopha ukhalo lwakhe, wagijima phambi kuka-Ahabi, waze wafika ekungeneni kwaseJizreyeli.

Wathi uSolomoni : Uma eyakuba yindoda enamandla , akuyikuwela emhlabathini nolulodwa unwele lwakhe , kepha uma okub i kufumaniseka kuye, uyakufa.

Wayeseloba izincwadi egameni lika -Ahabi, wazinamathelisa ngophawu lwakhe, wazithuma izincwadi kumalunga nakwab akhulu ababesemzini wakhe, abakhe kanye noNaboti.

Futhi wena uyazi okwenziwayo kimi nguJowabe indodana kaSeruya , nalokho akwenzayo kuzo izinduna ezimbili zezimpi zak wa-Israyeli, o-Abineri indodana kaNeri no-Amasa indodana kaJetheri, owababulala, wachitha igazi lokulwa ngesikhathi sokuthula , wabeka igazi lokulwa kulo ibhande lakhe elalisokhalweni lwakhe nasezicathulweni zakhe ezazisezinyaweni zakhe.

Ngokuba osuka ethanda ukuphila nokubona izinsuku ezinhle, makanqande ulimi lwakhe kokubi, nezindebe zakhe zingakhulumi inkohliso,

Abantu basekhandeni bamphendula uJonathani nodibi lwakhe , bathi: Khuphukelani kithi , siyakunifundisa indaba . UJonathani wayesethi odibini oluphethe izikhali zakhe : Khuphuka emva kwami , ngokuba uJehova ubanikele esandleni sakwa-Israyeli.

UJonathani wakhuphuka ngezandla zakhe nangezinyawo zakhe , nodibi lwakhe emva kwakhe; bawa phambi kukaJonathani, nodibi lwezikhali zakhe lwababulala emva kwakhe.

Manihambe, niqinise, nazi, nibone indawo yakhe lapho kukhona unyawo lwakhe nokuthi ubonwe ngubani khona , ngokuba ngitsheliwe ukuthi unobuqili impela.

UDavide wathi: Kuphila kukaJehova, uJehova uyakumshaya, noma kufika nje usuku lwakhe lokufa, noma ehlela empini, abhubhe.

Ngokuba awulalelanga izwi likaJehova , awenzanga ulaka lwakhe olushisayo phezu kwama -Amaleki; ngalokho uJehova wenzile lokhu kuwe namuhla.

Wafa-ke uSawule namadodana akhe omathathu, nodibi lwakhe, nabo bonke abantu bakhe ngalolo suku kanyekanye.

Ezinye izindaba zikaShalumi nogobe lwakhe alwenzayo , bheka, kulotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli.

Zathi kuye : Umuntu wayenengubo yoboya, ebhince ibhande lesikhumba okhalweni lwakhe. Wathi: Bekungu-Eliya waseThishibi.

Waletha incwadi enkosini yakwa-Israyeli, ethi: Manje, lapho le ncwadi ifika kuwe, bheka, ngithumile u Nahamani inceku yami kuwe ukuba umphilise ochokweni lwakhe.

Manje sekusenhliziyweni yami ukwenza isivumelwano noJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ukuba ulaka lwakhe oluvuthayo lubuye kithina.

Ningabi ntamo elukhuni njeng awoyihlo, kepha nimnike uJehova isandla senu, ningene endlini yakhe engcwele ayingcwelisile kuze kube phakade , nimkhonze uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ukuba ulaka lwakhe oluvuthayo lubuye kini.

UGideyoni wayenamadodana angamashumi ayisikhombisa aphuma okhalweni lwakhe, ngokuba wayenabafazi abaningi.

Lapha uZebule umphathi womuzi ezwa amazwi kaGali indodana ka -Ebedi, kwavutha ulaka lwakhe.

Wayeseshesha ebiza udibi olwaluphethe izikhali zakhe , wathi kulo: Hosha inkemba yakho, ungibulale ukuba abantu bangasho ngami ukuthi: Wabulawa ngowesifazane. Udibi lwakhe lwase lumgwaza, wafa.

UJehova uyakumphasa ecansini egula ; wena uyakuguqula ukhukho lwakhe ekuguleni kwakhe.

Kepha yena enesihawu wathethelela ububi babo , akabhubhisanga; yebo, wabamba kaningi intukuthelo yakhe, akavusanga lonke ulaka lwakhe.

Ukwelelesa kwakhe k ubuyela ekhanda lakhe ; ubudlwangudlwangu bakhe behlela okhakhayini lwakhe.

Ukuthembeka kwami nomusa wami kuyakuba naye ; egameni lami luyakuphakama uphondo lwakhe.

Uma umuntu esho ukuthi uyikholwa , engabophi ulimi lwakhe kungathi ngetomu kodwa ekhohlisa inhliziyo yakhe, ukukhonza kwalowo kuyize.

Okhuluma ngokwakhe ufuna udumo lwakhe ; kepha ofuna udumo lomthumileyo lowo uqinisile; akukho ukungalungi kuye.

Ngokuba akukho muntu owenza utho ekusithekeni , efuna yena uqobo lwakhe abe sobala. Uma wenza lezi zinto, zibonakalise wena kulo izwe.

Kwase kuvuleka umlomo wakhe khona lapho nolimi lwakhe , wakhuluma embonga uNkulunkulu.

UJesu wabuyela eGalile ngamandla kaMoya ; udumo lwakhe lwanda kulo lonke izwe langakhona.

UDavide uqobo lwakhe washo ngoMoya oNgcwele ukuthi : INkosi yathi eNkosini yami : Hlala ngakwesokunene sami , ngize ngibeke izitha zakho phansi kwezinyawo zakho.

UDavide uqobo lwakhe umbiza ngokuthi iNkosi . Pho, uyindodana yakhe kanjani na? Ukusolwa kwababhali (Math. 23: 1; Luk. 20: 45) Isixuku esikhulu sasimuzwa ngokujabula.

Wayeselula isandla , wamphatha, wathi: Ngiyathanda; hlambuluka. Wayesehlambuluka masinyane ochokweni lwakhe.

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Ngenxa yeziphambeko ezintathu zakwa-Edomi, yebo, ngenxa yezine , angiyikuguquka, ngokuba wamxosha umfowabo ngenkemba, walahla isihe sakhe , wagcina ulaka lwakhe , wayilondoloza intukuthelo yakhe.

Ngokuba uMoridekayi wayemkhulu endlini yenkosi , nodumo lwakhe lwahamba ezifundeni zonke , ngokuba lowo muntu uMoridekayi wayelokhu ekhula njalo.

Ngalokho iNkosi uJehova Sebawoti iyakuthum a ukonda phakathi kwabakhulupheleyo bakhe , nangaphansi kodumo lwakhe kuyakuphembeka ukushisa njengokushisa komlilo.
