O-Ela noZimri no-Omri no-Ahabi bangamakhosi kwa-Israyeli

Kwathi ngesikhathi sokunikela ngomnikelo wempuphu u -Eliya umprofethi wasondela, wathi: Jehova Nkulunkulu ka-Abrahama noka-Isaka noka-Israyeli, makwazeke namuhla ukuthi wena unguNkulu nkulu kwa -Israyeli, nokuthi mina ngiyinceku yakho, nokuthi ngenzile konke lokhu ngezwi lakho.

Kepha ngiyakushiya kwa -Israyeli izinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa , onke amadolo anganguqanga kuBali nayo yonke imilomo engamanganga.

Bheka, ngiyakukwehlisela okubi , ngikukhukhule, nginqume k u-Ahabi wonke umlisa, omncane nomkhulu kwa-Israyeli;

Onke lawo madoda empi , angahlela impi , afika eHebroni ngezinhliziyo ezipheleleyo ukubeka uDavide inkosi kwa -Israyeli; nabo bonke abaseleyo bakwa-Israyeli babenhliziyonye ukumbeka uDavide inkosi.

UDavide waqonda ukuthi uJehova wayemmisile impela ukuba abe yinkosi kwa-Israyeli, ngokuba umbuso wakhe waphakanyiselwa phezulu ngenxa yabantu bakhe u-Israyeli.

AmaFilisti esezwile ukuthi uDavide ugcotshiwe ukuba abe yinkosi kwa - Israyeli wonke , onke amaFilisti enyuka ukumfuna uDavide ; uDavide wakuzwa, waphuma ukuwahlasela.

Wamisa amakhanda kwa -Edomi; bonke abakwa -Edomi baba yizinceku zikaDavide. UJehova wamnqobisa uDavide nomaphi lapho eya khona. Izinduna zikaDavide

UJehova wayesethuma isifo phezu kuka-Israyeli; kwafa kwa-Israyeli abantu abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisikhombisa.

uyakwakhela igama lami indlu ; uyakuba yindodana yami , mina ngibe nguyise; ngiyakuqinisa isihlalo sobukhosi sombuso wakhe kwa -Israyeli kuze kube phakade.

UDavide wayesemdala , esanelisiwe yizinsuku ; wambeka uSolomoni indodana yakhe abe yinkosi kwa-Israyeli.

KumaJisihari uKhenaniya namadodana akhe babephethe umsebenzi ongaphandle kwa-Israyeli, beyizinduna nabahluleli.

KumaHebroni uHashabiya n abafowabo, amaqhawe anamandla , beyinkulungwane namakhulu ayisikhombisa, babe ngababonisi kwa -Israyeli phesheya kweJordani ngasentshonalanga emsebenzini wonke kaJehova nasenkonzweni yenkosi.

USawule wathi : Akuyikubulawa muntu namuhla , ngokuba namuhla uJehova usebenzile ukusindiswa kwa-Israyeli.

USawule wabusa umnyaka; esebusile iminyaka emibili kwa-Israyeli.

USamuweli wathi kuSawule : Wenze ngobuwula , awugcinanga umyalo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akuyala ngawo , ngokuba uJehova ubeseyakuqinisa umbuso wakho kwa-Israyeli kuze kube phakade.

USawule wazikhethela abantu abayizinkulungwane ezintathu kwa -Israyeli; izinkulungwane ezimbili zazinoSawule eMikimashi nasentabeni yaseBetlehema, nenkulungwane yayinoJonathani eGibeya lakwaBenjamini ; abanye abantu wabamukisa, kwaba yilowo nalowo etendeni lakhe.

Abantu bathi kuSawule: Uyakufa yini uJonathani okwenzile lokho kusindisa okukhulu kwa-Israyeli na? Makube kude; kuphila kukaJehova, akuyikuwela phansi nolulodwa unwele lwekhanda lakhe , ngokuba usebenzile noNkulunkulu namuhla. Abantu bamhlenga ukuba angafi. USawule uyalwa nezizwe eziningi

Abantu bakwa -Israyeli bathi : Nimbonile lowo muntu o wenyukile na ? Ngokuba wenyukile ukuyakweyisa u-Israyeli; kuyakuthi umuntu ombulalayo, inkosi imcebise ngengcebo enkulu , imnike indodakazi yayo , iyenze indlu kayise ibe ngekhululekile kwa-Israyeli.

UDavide wakhuluma kubantu ababemi naye , wathi: Kuyakwenziwa ntoni kumuntu obulala lowo mFilisti , asuse ihlazo kwa -Israyeli, na? Ngokuba ngubani lowo mFilisti ongasokile ukuba ayeyise impi kaNkulunkulu ophilayo na?

Namuhla uJehova uyakukunikela esandleni sami ; ngiyakukubulala, ngisuse ikhanda lakho kuwe , nginike namuhla izinyoni zezulu nezilwane zomhlaba izidumbu zempi yamaF ilisti, ukuze umhlaba wonke wazi ukuthi kukhona uNkulunkulu kwa-Israyeli,

UDavide wathi kuSawule : Mina ngingubani , kuyini ukuphila kwami , nomndeni kababa uyini kwa-Israyeli ukuba ngibe ngumkhwenyana wenkosi?

Kuyakuthi la pho uJehova esekwenzile enkosini yami njengakho konke okuhle akukhulumileyo ngawe, akubeke ube ngumbusi kwa-Israyeli,

UDavide wathi ku -Abineri: Awusiye umuntu okungekho onjengawe kwa - Israyeli na ? Awulindanga ngani inkosi yakho , inkosi? Ngokuba kwafika omunye wabantu ukuyobulala inkosi yakho, inkosi.

Kwaba njalo kusukela kulolo suku kuya phambili ; wamisa isimiso nomthetho kwa-Israyeli kuze kube namuhla.

UJehova wathi kuSamuweli : Bheka, ngiyakwenza into kwa -Israyeli eziyakunkeneneza ngayo izindlebe zombili zabo bonke abayizwayo.

Wamqamba umntwana ngokuthi u -Ikabodi, ethi: Inkazimulo isukile kwa - Israyeli, ngokuba umphongolo kaNkulunkulu uthathiwe, nangenxa kayisezala wakhe nomyeni wakhe.

Wathi: Inkazimulo isukile kwa-Israyeli, ngokuba umphongolo kaNkulunkulu uthathiwe.

Izimbongolo zakho esezinezinsuku ezintathu zilahlekile, ungabeki inhliziyo yakho kuzo , ngokuba zitholiwe . Ngokukabani konke oku nxanelekayo kwa - Israyeli na? Akusikho okwakho nokwendlu yonke kayihlo na?

Endulo kwa -Israyeli, lapho umuntu ebeyakubuza kuNkulunkulu , washo wathi: Woza siye kumboni ; ngokuba lo othiwa umprofethi manje wabizwa kuqala ngokuthi umboni.

Ngalokho umbhede okhuphukele kuwo awuyikwehlika kuwo, kepha uyakufa nokufa.

UJehoramu indodana ka -Ahabi waba yinkosi kwa -Israyeli eSamariya ngomnyaka weshumi nesishiyagalombili kaJehoshafati i nkosi yakwaJuda , wabusa iminyaka eyishumi nambili.

Wayesebuyela kulowo muntu kaNkulunkulu , yena nabantu bakhe bonke , weza, wema phambi kwakhe , wathi: Bheka, sengiyazi ukuthi akakho uNkulunkulu emhlabeni wonke, kwa-Israyeli kuphela; ngakho ake wamukele isipho encekwini yakho.

Kwathi u-Elisha umuntu kaNkulunkulu esezwile ukuthi inkosi yakwa-Israyeli iklebhulile izingubo zayo, wathumela enkosini, wathi: Uklebhuleleni izingubo zakho na? Makeze kimi, aze azi ukuthi kukhona umprofethi kwa-Israyeli.

Kepha zathi : Amanga; ake usitshele . Wayesethi: Wakhuluma kimi ukuthi nokuthi, ethi: U sho kanje uJehova , uthi: Sengikugcobile ube yinkosi kwa- Israyeli.

Bese wuthatha umfuma wamafutha , uwathele ekhanda lakhe , uthi: U sho kanje uJehova , uthi: Ngikugcobile ube yinkosi kwa -Israyeli. Bese wuvula umnyango, ubaleke, ungalibali.

Yasukuma, yangena endlini; yathela amafutha ekhanda lakhe , yathi kuye: Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, uthi: Ngikugcobile ube yinkosi yabantu bakaJehova kwa-Israyeli.

Bekunganifanele ukwazi yini ukuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli wanika uDavide umbuso kwa -Israyeli kuze kube phakade , yena namadodana akhe, ngesivumelwano sikasawoti, na?

Kodwa izindawo eziphakemeyo azisuswanga kwa-Israyeli; nokho inhliziyo ka-Asa yayiphelele zonke izinsuku zakhe.

Wabutha wonke uJuda noBenjamini nabagogobele kubo bevela kwa - Efrayimi, nakwaManase, nakwaSimeyoni, ngokuba abaningi bahlubukela kuye bevela kwa-Israyeli, lapho bebona ukuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe unaye.

USolomoni wakhuluma kuye wonke u -Israyeli, nakuzo izinduna zezinkulungwane nezamakhulu, nakubahluleli, nakuzo zonke izikhulu kwa - Israyeli wonke, izinhloko zawoyise.

Bammbela emzini kaDavide phakathi kwamakhosi , ngokuba wayenze okuhle kwa-Israyeli, nakuNkulunkulu, nasendlini yakhe.

U-Amasiya wayeseyahlukanisa impi ebifike kuye ivela kwa -Efrayimi ukuba iye ekhaya ; ngalokho ulaka lwabo lwavuthela kakhulu uJuda , babuyela ekhaya bevutha ulaka.

Waqasha kwa -Israyeli amaqhawe anamandla ayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu ngamatalenta ayikhulu esiliva.

Inani leminikelo y okushiswa elalethwa yibandla laliyizinkunzi ezingamashumi ayisikhombisa , nezinqama eziyikhulu , namawundlu angamakhulu amabili ; konke lokhu kwa kungokomnikelo wokushiswa kuJehova.

Bheka, ngiyakhela igama likaJehova uNkulunkulu wami indlu ukuba ngimngcwelisele yona , ngishise ph ambi kwakhe impepho ethaphukayo , kubekwe njalo izinkwa zokubukwa , kunikelwe ngeminikelo yokushiswa ekuseni nakusihlwa ngamasabatha , nangokwethwasa kwenyanga , nangemikhosi emisiweyo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu . Lokhu kungumthetho kwa-Israyeli kuze kube phakade.

Hambani ningibuzele kuJehova, mina nabaseleyo kwa-Israyeli nakwaJuda ngamazwi encwadi efunyenweyo , ngokuba inkulu intukuthelo kaJehova ethululelwe phezu kwethu , ngokuba obaba abaligcinanga izwi likaJehova ukwenza njengakho konke okulotshiweyo kule ncwadi. Umprofethikazi uHulida

UJosiya wazisusa zonke izinengiso emazweni onke akwa -Israyeli, wenza ukuba bonke abafunyanwa kwa -Israyeli bakhonze , bamkhonze uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo . Zonke izinsuku zakhe abasukanga ekumlandeleni uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise.

Alenziwanga iphasika elinjengalelo kwa -Israyeli kusukela emihleni kaSamuweli umprofethi , nawo onke amakhosi akwa -Israyeli awenzanga iphasika elinjengalelo elenziwa nguJosiya, nabapristi, namaLevi, naye wonke uJuda no-Israyeli owayekhona, kanye nabakhileyo eJerusalema.

Naye uJeremiya wamlilela uJosiya ; bonke abahlabeleli besilisa nabesifazane bakhuluma ngoJosiya ekulileni kwabo kuze kube namuhla ; bakwenza kwaba yisimiso kwa-Israyeli; bheka, kulotshiwe eziLilweni.

ngiyakusimisa isihlalo sobukhosi sombuso wakho njengesivumelwano sami noDavide uyihlo ngokuthi: Akuyikunqunywa muntu kuwe ukuba kungabikho mbusi kwa-Israyeli.

Yena wathi kuye : Qha, mnewethu, ungangiphoqi, ngokuba akufanele ukuba kwenziwe kanjalo kwa-Israyeli; ungenzi lobu buwula.

Kwa-Israyeli wonke kwakungekho muntu omuhle njengo -Abisalomu owababazeka kakhulu, kungekho sici kuye kusukela ematheni onyawo kuze kube sokhakhayini.

UDavide wathi : Nginamsebenzi muni nani madodana kaSeruya ukuba nimelane nami namuhla na ? Kuzakubulawa umuntu namuhla kwa -Israyeli na? Angazi yini mina ukuthi namuhla ngiyinkosi phezu kuka-Israyeli na?

Mina ngingowokuthula nothembekileyo kwa-Israyeli; wena ufuna ukuchitha umuzi nonina kwa-Israyeli; uyakuligwinyelani ifa likaJehova na?

AbaseGibeyoni bathi kuye : Akundaba yesiliva negolide noSawule nendlu yakhe, futhi akundaba yokubulala umuntu kwa -Israyeli. Wathi: Enikushoyo ngiyakunenzela khona.

UDavide wamakhela khona uJehova i -altare, wanikela nge minikelo yokushiswa nangeminikelo yokuthula . UJehova wancengwa ngenxa yezwe , isifo sanqamuka kwa-Israyeli.

UJowabe wayesenika inkosi umumo wabantu ababaliweyo ; kwaba khona kwa-Israyeli amadoda anamandla ayizinkulungwane ezi ngamakhulu ayisishiyagalombili ahloma inkemba ; amadoda akwaJuda ayeyizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisihlanu. Isifo

kudluliswe umbuso endlini kaSawule , kumiswe isihlalo sobukhosi sikaDavide phezu kuka-Israyeli naphezu kukaJuda , kusukela kwa Dani kuze kufike eBeri Sheba.

Inkosi yathi ezincekwini zayo : Anazi yini ukuthi kufile umbusi nomuntu omkhulu kwa-Israyeli namuhla na?

UDavide waqonda ukuthi uJehova wayemmisile impela ukuba abe yinkosi kwa-Israyeli nokuthi uphakamisile umbuso wakhe ngenxa yabantu bakhe u - Israyeli.

Lapho amaFilisti esezwile ukuthi bamgcobile uDavide ukuba abe yinkosi kwa-Israyeli, onke amaFilisti enyuka ukumfuna uDavide ; uDavide wakuzwa, wehlela enqabeni.

Kwase kufika onke amalunga akwa -Israyeli enkosini eHebroni ; inkosi uDavide yenza isivumelwano nawo eHebroni phambi kukaJehova ; amgcoba uDavide abe yinkosi kwa-Israyeli.

EHebroni wabusa kwaJuda iminyaka eyisikhombisa nezinyanga eziyisithupha; eJerusalema wabusa iminyaka engamashum i amathathu nantathu kwa-Israyeli wonke nakwaJuda.

Wayesethi uDavide kuMikhali : Ngaphambi kukaJehova owangikhetha phezu kukayihlo naphezu kwayo yonke indlu yakhe ukungimisa ukuba ngibe ngumbusi wabantu bakaJehova kwa -Israyeli, yebo, ngaphambi kukaJehova ngathokoza.

Ngalokho uyakusho kanje encekwini yami uDavide , uthi: U sho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uthi: Mina ngakuthatha edlelweni ekwaluseni izimvu ukuba ube ngumbusi wabantu bami kwa-Israyeli;

Wamisa amakhanda kwa -Edomi; kulo lonke lakwa -Edomi wamisa amakhanda, nabo bonke abakwa-Edomi baba yizinceku zikaDavide. UJehova wamnqobisa uDavide nomaphi lapho eya khona.

Kwaba yisimiso kwa -Israyeli ukuba amadodakazi akwa-Israyeli aye yonke iminyaka ukuyitusa indodakazi kaJefta wakwaGileyad i izinsuku ezine ngomnyaka.

AbakwaGileyadi bavimba amazibuko aseJordani phambi kwabakwa - Efrayimi; kwathi lapho ababalekileyo ba kwa-Efrayimi bethi : Mangiwele, abantu bakwaGileyadi bathi kuye: Ungowakwa-Efrayimi na? Uma ethi: Cha,

Ngalezo zinsuku kwakungekho nkosi kwa -Israyeli; yilowo nalowo wenza okulungile emehlweni akhe.

Ngalezo zinsuku kwakungekho nkosi kwa -Israyeli; ngalezo zinsuku isizwe sakwaDani sazifunela ifa lokuhlala , ngokuba kuze kube ngalolo suku babengabelwanga ifa phakathi kwezizwe zakwa-Israyeli.

Bathi kuye: Thula, ubeke isandla sakho emlonyeni wakho , uhambe nathi, ube ngubaba nompristi wethu ; kuhle yini ukuba ube ngumpristi wendlu yomuntu munye kunokuba ube ngumpristi wesizwe nomndeni kwa -Israyeli na?

Kwathi ngalezo zinsuku kungekho inkosi kwa-Israyeli, kwakukhona umLevi othile owayegogobele ohlangothini olungasemuva kwezintaba zakwa - Efrayimi, owazithathela isancinza eBetlehema Juda.

Wayesethi u -Adoni Bezeki : Amakhosi angamashumi ayisikhombisa enqunyiwe izithupha nawoqukula acosha ukudla kwa wo phansi kwetafula lami; njengalokho ngenzile, kanjalo uNkulunkulu uphindisele kimi . Bamyisa eJerusalema, wafela khona.

sithathe abantu abayishumi ekhulwini kuzo zonke izizwe zakwa -Israyeli, nabayikhulu enkulungwaneni , nabayinkulungwane ezinkulungwaneni eziyishumi, ukuba balande ukudla kwabantu , nalapho sebefike eGibeya lakwaBenjamini benze ngokobuwula ababenzile kwa-Israyeli.

Ngalokho khiphani labo bantu , abantu ababi , abaseGibeya, ukuba sibabulale, sixoshe ububi kwa -Israyeli. Kepha uBenjamini kavumanga ukulalela izwi labafowabo, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

Abantwana bakwaBenjamini baphuma ukulwa nabantu , badonswa, baphuma emzini ; baqala ukubulala nokuceka abantu njengakwezinye izikhathi emendweni, omunye okhuphukela eBethele , omunye oya eGibeya ensimini, kungathi amadoda angamashumi amathathu kwa-Israyeli.

Isiboniso esinqunyiweyo phakathi kwa bantu bakwa -Israyeli nabaqamekeli sasiyilesi sokuba bathunqise umusi omkhulu wenyuke emzini.

Ngase ngithatha isancinza sami, ngasihlahlela, ngasithuma ezweni lonke lefa lakwa-Israyeli, ngokuba babesebenzile ukona nobuwula kwa-Israyeli.

Athi: Nga liba khona ifa labaphunyukileyo bakwaBenjamini , ukuze kungesulwa sizwe kwa-Israyeli.

Ngalezo zinsuku kwakungekho nkosi kwa -Israyeli; yilowo nalowo wenza okulungile emehlweni akhe.

Bathi: Jehova Nkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, lokhu kwenzelweni kwa-Israyeli ukuba kusilale namuhla esinye isizwe sakwa-Israyeli na?

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bamhawukela uBenjamini umfowabo , bathi: Kunqunyiwe namuhla esinye isizwe kwa-Israyeli.

Ekwahlukaniseni impango phakath i kwemiqengqe yamanzi balanda khona izenzo ezilungileyo zikaJehova , ukulunga kokubusa kwakhe kwa -Israyeli; khona abantu bakaJehova behlela emasangweni.

Kwavela kwa -Efrayimi abampande yabo ikuma -Amaleki; emva kwakho nguBenjamini phakathi kwabantu bakho . KwaMakiri kwavela ababusi , kwaZebuloni abaphethe intonga yomholi.

Ngokuba abaholi beholil e kwa-Israyeli, ngokuba abantu bezinikela ngenhliziyo, bongani uJehova.

Abaholi ba phela kwa -Israyeli, banqamuka, ngaze ngavuka mina Debora , ngavuka ngingunina kwa-Israyeli.

Bakhetha onkulunkulu abasha ; lapho kwafika impi emasangweni; kwabonwa isihlangu noma umkhonto yin i phakathi kwezinkulungwane ezingamashumi amane kwa-Israyeli na?

bamisa mayelana nabo , bachitha izithelo zomhlaba kwaze kwaba seGaza , abashiyanga kudla kwa-Israyeli, nazimvu, nazinkomo, nazimbongolo.

Ngubani oyakungiyisa emzini oyinqaba na ? Ngubani oyakungiholela kwa- Edomi na?

Nkosi, ukufisa kwami konke kuphambi kwa kho; ukububula kwami akufihlekile kuwe.

Ngubani oyakungiyisa emzini oqinileyo na ? Ngubani oyakungiholela kwa - Edomi na?

UNkulunkulu uyaziwa kwaJuda, igama lakhe likhulu kwa-Israyeli.

Ngokuba wamisa ubufakazi kwaJakobe , wabeka umthetho kwa -Israyeli, ayala ngawo obaba ukuba bafundise abantwana babo,

Ngokuba kuyisimiso kwa-Israyeli nomthetho kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe.

Umuntu uyadunyiswa ngokokuhlakanipha kwa khe, kepha ophambene ngenhliziyo uyadelelwa.

Umthetho nabaprofethi kwakukhona kwaze kwa fika uJohane ; kusukela kuleso sikhathi ivangeli lombuso kaNkulunkulu liyashunyayelwa , wonke umuntu uphika ngokufuzula kuwo.

Kepha ngempela ngithi kini : Kwakukhona kwa -Israyeli abafelokazi abaningi emihleni ka-Eliya, lapho izulu lalivalekile iminyaka emi thathu nezinyanga eziyisithupha, kwaba khona indlala enkulu ezweni lonke;

Kwakukhona futhi kwa-Israyeli abanochoko abaningi ngesikhathi sika - Elisha umprofethi; kepha akuhlanjululwanga namunye kubo , kuphela uNayimani umSiriya.

UJesu ekuzwa lokho wamangala , wathi kwabamlandelayo : Ngiqinisile ngithi kini : Angizange ngifumane kwa -Israyeli ukukholwa okungaka kumuntu.
