U-Abiya waqala ukulwa enempi yamaqhawe anamandla , abantu abakhethiweyo abayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amane , kepha uJerobowamu wahlela ukulwa naye enabantu abakhethiweyo abayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisishiyagalombili , bengamaqhawe anamandla.

Kwaphuma ukulwa nabo uZera umKushe enempi eyizinkulungwane eziyinkulungwane nezinqola ezingamakhulu amathathu, wafika eMaresha.

Inkosi yase-Asiriya yathuma uRabi Shake , asuke eLakishi, aye eJerusalema enkosini uHezekiya , enempi enkulu , wema ngasemseleni wechibi lasenhla , elingasendleleni yeNsimu Yomhlanzi.
