U-Asa wayesethatha lonke isiliva negolide elalisele engcebeni yendlu kaJehova nengcebo yendlu yenkosi , wakunikela ezandleni zezinceku zakhe ; inkosi u -Asa yazithuma kuBeni Hadadi indodana kaTabirimoni kaHeziyoni , inkosi yase-Aramu, owayehlala eDamaseku, yathi:

kepha ngalesi sikhathi kusasa ngiyakuthuma izinceku zami kuwe , ziyalule indlu yakho nezindlu zezinceku zakho ; kuyakuthi konke okuhl e emehlweni akho zikufake esandleni sazo, zikususe.

Wasukuma, wakhothama, ubuso bakhe bubheke phansi , wathi: Bheka, incekukazi yakho mayibe yisigqilakazi sokugeza izinyawo zezinceku zenkosi yami.

UShafani wayiyisa incwadi enkosini , waletha nombiko wokuthi : Konke okwanikelwa ezandleni zezinceku zakho ziyakwenza.

UHiramu wathuma kuye ngezandla zezinceku zakhe imikhumnbi nezinceku ezazilwazi ulwandle ; zafika nezinceku zikaSolomoni e -Ofiri, zalanda khona amatalenta angamakhulu amane namashumi ayisihlanu egolide , zawayisa enkosini uSolomoni.

UDavide wayesebuya ukubusisa indlu yakhe . UMikhali indodakazi kaSawule waphuma ukumhlangabeza uDavide, wathi: Yeka udumo lwenkosi ka-Israyeli namuhla, ezambulile namuhla emehlweni ezincekukazi zezinceku zakhe njengomunye wamayiyane, ezambula nokuzambula.

Bazinikile izidumbu zezinceku zakh o zibe ngukudla kwezinyoni zezulu , inyama yabakwesabayo kuzo izilo zomhlaba.

Izindlu zakho , nezindlu zezinceku zakho zonke , nezindlu zabo bonke abaseGibithe ziyakugcwaliswa yiso , abangazange basibone esinjalo oyihlo nawoyise bawoyihlo , selokhu ba fika emhlabeni kuze kube namuhla . Waphenduka, waphuma kuFaro.

Wenze njalo uJehova ; kwangena uswebezane olwesabekayo lwezibawu endlini kaFaro , nasezindlini zezinceku zakhe , nasezweni lonke laseGibithe; izwe lachithwa ngenxa yezibawu.

oyale ngayo ngezandla zezinceku zakho abaprofethi ngokuthi : Izwe eniya kulo ukulidla liyizwe elingcolileyo ngenxa yokungcola kwabantu bezizwe ngezinengiso zabo eziligcwalisile ngokonakalisa kwabo , kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kufike ekugcineni.

Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Wena unguye engakhuluma ngaye ngezinsuku zamandulo ngezandla zezinceku zami abaprofethi bakwa -Israyeli ababeprofetha ngalezo zinsuku iminyaka eminingi ukuthi ngiyakukuyisa kubo na?
