lapho impi yenkosi yaseBabele ilwa neJerusalema nayo yonk e imizi yakwaJuda eseleyo , iLakishi ne -Azeka, ngokuba yiyo eyayisele phakathi kwemizi yakwaJuda iyimizi ebiyelweyo.

uJehova wanikela iLakishi esandleni sakwa -Israyeli, walithatha ngosuku lwesibili, walichitha ngosiko lwenkemba kanye nabo bonke ababekulo njengakho konke abekwenzile kulo iLibina.

Khona kwakhuphuka uHoramu inkosi yaseGezeri ukuba asize iLakishi ; kepha uJoshuwa wambulala nabantu bakhe , akaze amshiyela noyedwa owasalayo.

Balithatha ngalolo suku , balichitha ngosiko lwenkemba ; nabo bonke ababekulo wabaqothula ngalolo suku njengakho konke abekwenzile kulo iLakishi.
