Amadodana akhe ayengahambi ngezindlela zakhe , kepha aphambukela inzuzo embi, athengwa ngemivuzo, aphendukezela izahlulelo. Abakwa-Israyeli bafuna inkosi

athi kuye: Bheka, usumdala, amadodana akho awahambi ngezindlela zakho; sibekele inkosi ukuba isahlulele njengezizwe zonke.

Manje njengalokhu le ncwadi ifika kinina , lokhu amadodana enkosi yenu ekini, kukhona futhi kini izinqola namahhashi , kanye nomuzi obiyelweyo , nezikhali,

UJehova wathi kuJehu: Ngenxa yokuba wenze kahle ngokufeza okulungile emehlweni ami , futhi wenze kuyo indlu ka -Ahabi njengakho konke okwakusenhliziyweni yami, amadodana akho ezizukulwane ezine ayakuhlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sika-Israyeli.

Wayeseloba incwadi yesibili kubo , ethi: Uma ninami , nilalela izwi lami , thathani amakhanda alaba bantu , amadodana enkosi yenu , nize kimi eJizreyeli ngalesi sikhathi kusasa . Amadodana en kosi engabantu abangamashumi ayisikhombisa ayekwabakhulu bomuzi ababewondla.

Kwathi incwadi isifikile kubo , bawathatha amadodana enkosi , bawabulala, abantu abangamashumi ayisikhombisa, babeka amakhanda awo emaqomeni, bawathuma kuye eJizreyeli.

Kwafika is ithunywa, samtshela ukuthi : Balethile amakhanda amadodana enkosi. Wathi: Wabekeni abe yizinqwaba ezimbili ngasesikhaleni sesango kuze kube sekuseni.

Yilelo izwi likaJehova alikhuluma kuJehu ngokuthi: Amadodana akho kuze kube sesizukulwaneni sesine ayakuhlala esihlalweni sakwa -Israyeli. Kwaba njalo.

Badabulisa amadodana abo namadodakazi abo emlilweni , babhula, benza imilingo, bazithengisela ukwenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova ukumcunula.

Abulala amadodana kaSedekiya phambi kwamehlo akhe , akhipha amehlo kaSedekiya, ambopha ngamaketanga, amyisa eBabele.

Esembonile amadodana abaprofethi aseJeriko ayemalungana naye , athi: Umoya ka -Eliya uhlezi phezu kuka -Elisha. Afika ukumhlangabeza , akhothamela phansi phambi kwakhe.

Amadodana abaprofethi ayeseBethele aphuma , aya ku -Elisha, athi kuye : Uyazi yini ukuthi uJehova uyakususa inkosi yakho kuwe namuhla na? Wathi: Yebo, ngiyakwazi; thulani.

Amadodana abaprofethi ayeseJeriko asondela ku -Elisha, athi kuye: Uyazi yini ukuthi uJehova uyakususa inkosi yakho kuwe namuhla na? Wathi: Yebo, ngiyakwazi; thulani.

U-Elisha wabuyela eGiligali ; kwakukhona indlala kulelo zwe ; amadodana abaprofethi ayehlezi phambi kwakhe ; wathi encekwini yakhe: Bheka ikhanzi elikhulu, uphekele amadodana abaprofethi ukudla.

Amadodana abaprofethi athi ku-Elisha: Bheka, indawo esihlezi kuyo phambi kwakho, siminyene kuyo.

Wamzalela amadodana: ngoJewushe, noShemariya, noZahamu.

URehobowamu wamthanda uMahakha indodakazi ka-Abisalomu phezu kwabo bonke abafazi bakhe nezancinza zakhe , ngokuba wathatha abafazi abayishumi nesishiyagalombili nez ancinza ezingamashumi ayisithupha , wazala amadodana angamashumi amabili nesishiyagalombili namadodakazi angamashumi ayisithupha.

Wenza ngokuhlakanipha, wahlakaza onke amadodana akhe emazweni onke akwaJuda noBenjamini , emizini yonke ebiyelweyo, wawanika ukudla okuningi, wawafunela abafazi abaningi.

Kepha thina, uJehova unguNkulunkulu wethu ; asimshiyanga; sinabapristi abamkhonzayo uJehova, amadodana ka-Aroni namaLevi emisebenzini yabo;

Kepha u -Abiya waba namandla , wazithathela abafazi abayishumi nane , wazala amadodana angamashumi amabili nambili namadodakazi ayishumi nesithupha.

Anixoshanga yini abapristi bakaJehova , amadodana ka -Aroni namaLev i, nazenzela abapristi ngendlela yabantu bezizwe ; bonke abafika ukwahlukaniselwa, bephethe iduna nezinqama eziyisikhombisa , bangaba ngabapristi babangesibo onkulunkulu.

Wayenabafowabo, amadodana kaJehoshafati : ngo-Azariya, noJehiyeli, noZakariya, no-Azariyahu, noMikayeli, noShefathiya; bonke labo babengamadodana kaJehoshafati inkosi yakwa-Israyeli.

Kodwa uJehoshabeyati, indodakazi yenkosi, wamthatha uJowashi indodana ka-Ahaziya, wameba phakathi kw amadodana enkosi abulawayo , wambeka nomzanyana wakhe ekamelweni lokulala . UJehoshabeyati, indodakazi yenkosi uJehoramu, umkaJehoyada umpristi -- ngokuba wayengudadewabo ka-Ahaziya -- wamfihla ebusweni buka-Athaliya, ukuze angambulali.

UJehoyada wamthathela abafazi ababili; wazala amadodana namadodakazi.

Ngokuba amadodana ka-Athaliya, owesifazane lowo omubi , ayeyichithile indlu kaNkulunkulu , nezinto zonke ezingcwele zendlu kaJehova azenza ukuba zibe ngezikaBali.

bamelana no -Uziya inkosi , bathi kuye : Akusikho okwakho , Uziya, ukushisela uJehova impepho , kungokwabapristi, amadodana ka -Aroni, abangcweliselwe uku shisa impepho ; phuma endlini engcwele , ngokuba wenze isiphambeko ; futhi awuyikuba nodumo oluvela kuJehova uNkulunkulu.

Bhekani, obaba bawile ngenkemba , amadodana ethu namadodakazi ethu nawomkethu basekuthunjweni ngenxa yalokho.

UHezekiya wayeselala koyise ; bammbela emmangweni wamathuna amadodana kaDavide ; wonke uJuda nabakhileyo eJerusalema bamenzela udumo ekufeni kwakhe. UManase indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

Ngasemuva azilungiselela wona nabapristi, ngokuba abapristi, amadodana ka-Aroni, babesekunikeleni iminikelo namanoni kwaze kwaba sebusuku ; ngalokho amaLevi azilungiselela wona nabapristi, amadodana ka-Aroni.

Abahlabeleli, amadodana ka -Asafa, babe sendaweni yabo njengokwesiyalezo sikaDavide , no-Asafa, noHemani, noJeduthuni umboni wenkosi; abalindisango babengasesangweni; kwakungadingeki ukuba basuke emsebenzini wabo, ngokuba abafowabo amaLevi babalungisela.

Kwathi emva kweminyaka emibili epheleleyo u -Abisalomu wayenabagundi bezimvu eBali Hasori eliseduze no -Efrayimi; u-Abisalomu wamema onke amadodana enkosi.

U-Abisalomu wayicindezela , yaze yavuma ukuba u -Amnoni nawo onke amadodana ahambe naye.

Izinceku zika -Abisalomu zenza ku -Amnoni njengokuyala kuka -Abisalomu. Amadodana onke enkosi ayesesuka , yileyo naleyo yakhwela umnyuzi wayo , abaleka.

Kwathi besesendleleni, kwafika izwi kuDavide , lithi: U-Abisalomu ubulele onke amadodana enkosi, akusalanga neyodwa yawo.

UJonadaba indodana kaShimeya umfowabo kaDavide waphendula wathi : Inkosi yami mayingathi babulele izinsizwa zonke , amadodana enkosi, lokhu ngu-Amnoni yedwa ofileyo ; ngokuba lokho kwakunqunyiwe ngomlomo ka - Abisalomu kusukela kulolo suku aphoqa ngalo udadewabo uTamari.

Ngalokho inkosi yami , inkosi, mayingabeki le nto enhliziyweni yayo yokuthi onke amadodana enkosi afile, ngokuba ngu-Amnoni yedwa ofileyo. Ukubaleka kuka-Abisalomu

UJonadaba wathi enkosini : Bheka, amadodana enkosi ayeza ; kunjalo njengokusho kwenceku yakho.

Kwathi eseqedile ukukhuluma, bheka, afika amadodana enkosi, adazuluka, akhala; nenkosi nazo zonke izinceku zayo zakhala ngokukhala okukhulu kakhulu.

U-Abisalomu wazalelwa amadodana amathathu nendodakazi inye egama layo linguTamari; yayingowesifazane obukeka emuhle.

Bheka, kukhona lapho nabo amadodana abo amabili, o-Ahimahasi indodana kaSadoki noJonathani indodana ka -Abiyathara; niyakuthuma kimi ngesandla sabo konke eniyakukuzwa.

Kepha inkosi yathatha amadodana kaRispa indodakazi ka -Aya ayewazalele uSawule, o-Arimoni noMefibosheti ; namadodana ayisihlanu kaMikhali indodakazi kaSawule ayewazalele u -Adriyeli indodana kaBarizilayi umMeholati;

Amadodana amathathu kaSeruya ayelapho , oJowabe, no-Abishayi, no- Asaheli; u-Asaheli wayenezinyawo ezilula njengensephe.

Kwakukhona ukulwa isikhathi eside phakathi kwendlu kaSawule nendlu kaDavide; uDavide waqhubeka ngokuqina njalo , kepha indlu kaSawule yaqhubeka ngokuncipha njalo. Amadodana kaDavide

Kwazalelwa uDavide amadodana eHebroni ; izibulo lakhe laba ngu -Amnoni ku-Ahinohama waseJizreyeli;

Nami ngibuthakathaka namuhla noma ngigcotshiwe ngibe yinkosi ; laba bantu, amadodana kaSeruya , balukhuni kunami ; uJehova makaphindisele owenza okubi njengobubi bakhe.

Indodana kaSawule yayinamadoda amabili ayeyizinduna zamaviyo ; igama lenye lalinguBahana negama lenye lal inguRekabi, amadodana kaRimoni waseBeyeroti wabantwana bakwaBenjamini , ngokuba iBeyeroti libalelwa kuBenjamini.

Amadodana kaRimoni waseBeyeroti oRekabi noBahana ahamba , afika selishisa ilanga endlini ka-Ishi Bosheti ephumula embhedeni emini.

UDavide waphendula oRekabi noBahana umfowabo amadodana kaRimoni waseBeyeroti, wathi kubo: Kuphila kukaJehova ohlengile umphefumulo wami osizini lonke,

UDavide wazithathela ezin ye izancinza nabafazi eJerusalema , esefikile evela eHebroni; uDavide wayesazalelwa amadodana namadodakazi.

Bawuhambisa umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ngengqukumbane entsha , bewukhipha endlini ka -Abinadaba eyayisegqumeni ; o-Uza no -Ahiyo amadodana ka-Abinadaba bashayela leyo ngqukumbane entsha.

uBenaya indodana kaJehoyada wayephezu kwamaKhereti namaPheleti ; amadodana kaDavide ayengabapristi.

UmkaGileyadi wamzalela amadodana ; esekhulile amadodana omkakhe amxosha uJefta , athi kuye : Awuyikulidla ifa endlini kababa, ngokuba uyindodana yomunye owesifazane.

Wayenamadodana angamashumi amane namadodana amadodana akhe angamashumi amathathu agibela amathole ezimbongolo angamashumi ayisikhombisa; wamahlulela u-Israyeli iminyaka eyisishiyagalombili.

bathatha amadodakazi awo aba ngomkabo , banika amadodana awo amadodakazi abo, bakhonza onkulunkulu bawo. U-Otheniyeli

Wathi: Babe ngabafowethu, amadodana kamame. Kuphila kukaJehova, uma benibayekile baphila, bengingayikunibulala.

AbakwaMidiyani bathotshiswa kanjalo phambi kwabantwana bakwa - Israyeli, ababe besaphakamisa amakhanda abo . Izwe lathula iminyaka engamashumi amane ezinsukwini zikaGideyoni. Amadodana kaGideyoni nokufa kwakhe

kepha niyivukele namuhla indlu kababa , nibulele amadodana akhe, abantu abangamashumi ayisikhombisa etsheni linye , nimbekile u -Abimeleki indodana yesigqilakazi sakhe inkosi yabaseShekemi ngokuba engumfowenu;

Amadodana akho ayakuba sesikhundleni sawoyihlo ; uyakuwabeka abe yizikhulu emhlabeni wonke.

Ngengalo yamandla wasindisa abantu bakho , amadodana kaJakobe noJosefa. Sela

Ningangibuki ukuthi ngimnyamana, ngokuba ilanga lingifusile. Amadodana kamame angifutha , angenza umlindizivini , kepha isivini esingesami angisilindanga.

Amadodana anqabileyo aseSiyoni , elingene negolide elihle , yeka ukuthiwa kwawo ayizitsha zebumba, imisebenzi yezandla zombumbi!

Kepha uma ningalaywa , abathe bonke benziwa abahlanganyeli kukho , khona-ke ningabesihlahla, anisiwo amadodana.

Ngokuba kwakumfanele yena , okukhona konke ngenxa yakhe nokukhona konke ngaye , ukuba, lapho eyisa amadodana amaningi enkazimulweni , amphelelise ngezinhlupheko yena oyinkosi yokusindiswa kwabo.

Uma inkosi yaso isinika umfazi , yena esizalela amadodana noma amadodakazi, umfazi nabantwana bakhe bayakuba ngabenkosi yakhe , sona siphume sodwa.

Sondeza kuwe u -Aroni umfowenu namadodana akhe phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuba bangikhonze esikhundleni sobupristi, o- Aroni, noNadabi, no-Abihu, no-Eleyazare, no-Itamari, amadodana ka-Aroni.

abeke isandla sakhe enhloko yayo, ayihlabe ngaphambi kwetende lokuhlangana, amadodana ka-Aroni afafaze i-altare nxazonke ngegazi layo.

Uyakubeka isandla sakhe enhloko yomnikelo wakhe , awuhlabe ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana , amadodana ka -Aroni, abapristi, afafaze i-altare nxazonke ngegazi.

Ngabasola ngalokho, ngabathuka, ngashaya abanye abantu, ngabahluthula izinwele, ngabafungisa uNkulunkulu , ngathi: Ninganiki amadodana abo amadodakazi enu, ningathatheli amadodana enu amadodakazi abo.

Nokho inyama yethu injengenyama yabafowethu , abantwana bethu banjengabantwana babo ; bheka, sithobisa amadodana ethu namadodakazi ethu, abe yizigqila; amanye amadodakazi ethu asethotshisiwe ; futhi awakho amandla ezandleni zethu , ngokuba amasimu ethu nezivini zethu sekungokwabanye.

Itabernakele lasuswa; amadodana kaGereshoni namadodana kaMerari asuka elithwala itabernakele.

Amadodana ka -Aroni, abapristi, ayakubetha amacilongo ; kuyakuba kini isimiso esiphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu.

Sabona khona iziqhwaga , amadodana ka -Anaki ayela eziqhwageni ; emehlweni ethu saba njengezintethe, saba njalo nasemehlweni abo.

UKora kaJisihari kaKohati kaLevi, kanye noDathani no-Abiramu, amadodana ka-Eliyabe, no-Oni indodana kaPheleti , amadodana kaRubeni , bathatha amadoda,

nokuthi ukusondezile wena, nabafowenu bonke, amadodana kaLevi, kanye nawe na? Senifisa nobupristi futhi na?

UMose wathuma wabiza oDathani no -Abiramu, amadodana ka -Eliyabe; bathi: Asiyikukhuphuka;

Maye kuwena Mowabi ! Niphelile, nina bantu bakaKemoshi ; unikele amadodana akhe abe ngababaleki , namadodakazi akhe athunjwe kuSihoni inkosi yama-Amori.

Ngiyambona, kepha kungemanje ; ngiyambheka, kodwa kun geseduze; kuyakuvela inkanyezi kuJakobe, nentonga yobukhosi iyakuvuka kwa-Israyeli, ishaye uMowabi emaceleni, ichithe onke amadodana kaSheti.

Lawa angamagama amadodana ka -Aroni: uNadabi izibulo , no-Abihu, no- Eleyazare, no-Itamari.

Yilawo angamagama amadodana ka -Aroni, abapristi abagcotshiweyo , abahlukaniselwa ukukhonza esikhundleni sobupristi.

Imfanelo emiselwe amadodana kaMerari iyakuba ngamapulangwe etabernakele, nemishayo yalo, nezinsika zalo, nezinyawo zalo, nezinto zonke zalo, nenkonzo yonke yalokho,
