Bheka, kwavela kwaJuda umuntu kaNkulunkulu ngezwi likaJehova , weza eBethele; uJerobowamu wayemi e-altare ukushisa impepho.

Ngokuba izwi alimemezayo ngokusho kukaJehova kulo i-altare laseBethele nakuzo zonke izindlu zezindawo eziphakemeyo ezisemizini yaseSamariya liyakwenzeka nokwenzeka. UJerobowamu uqhubeka ebubini

UJerobowamu wathi kumkakhe : Ake usuke uzifihle , ukuze kungaziwa ukuthi wena ungumkaJerobowamu, uye eShilo ; bheka, u-Ahiya umprofethi ulapho, yena owakhuluma ngami ukuthi ngiyakuba yinkosi phezu kwalaba bantu.

Hamba umtshele uJerobowamu ukuthi : U Jehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli usho kanje , uthi: Njengokuba ngakuphakamisa phakathi kwabantu , ngakubeka ube ngumbusi wabantu bami u-Israyeli,

Ngomnyaka weshumi nesishiyagalombili wenkosi uJerobowamu indodana kaNebati u-Abiyamu waba yinkosi kwaJuda.

Ngokuba wahlwitha u -Israyeli endlini kaDavide ; bambeka uJerobowamu indodana kaNebati inkosi ; uJerobowamu wamqubula u -Israyeli ukuba angamlandeli uJehova, wamonisa ngesono esikhulu.

UJerobowamu nabantu bonke ba se befika kuRehobowamu ngosuku lwesithathu njengokusho kwenkosi ithi: Buyelani kimi ngosuku lwesithathu.

Kwathi lapho uJerobowamu indodana kaNebati ekuzwile ngokuba wayeseGibithe, lapho ayebalakele khona, ebalekele ubuso benkosi uSolomoni uJerobowamu wabuya eGibithe.

Bathuma bambiza ; uJerobowamu naye wonke u -Israyeli beza , bakhuluma kuRehobowamu, bathi:

Ngokuba amaLevi ashiya amadlelo awo nefa lawo , aya kwaJuda naseJerusalema, ngokuba uJerobowamu namadodana akhe bawalahla ukuba angabe esaba ngabapristi bakaJehova,

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Aniyikukhuphuka, ningalwi nabafowenu ; buyelani, kube yilowo nalowo endlini yakhe , ngokuba le nto ivela kimi . Balalela amazwi kaJehova, babuya ekumhlaseleni uJerobowamu. Ukwakha kukaRehobowamu

Ngomnyaka weshumi nesishiyagalombili wenk osi uJerobowamu u -Abiya waba yinkosi kwaJuda.

Kepha uJerobowamu wayegwegwesisile abaqamekeli ukuba bafike emuva ; babe phambi kukaJuda, abaqamekeli babe semva kwabo.

U-Abiya wamxosha uJerobowamu , wamaphuca imizi : iBethele nemizana yalo, neJeshana nemizana yalo, ne-Efroni nemizana yalo.

Futhi uJerobowamu akabe esaba namandla emihleni ka -Abiya; uJehova wamshaya, wafa.

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

Nokho uJerobowamu in dodana kaNebati , inceku kaSolomoni indodana kaDavide, wavuka, wahlubuka inkosi yakhe.

Ngokuba u-Amose ushilo kanje, wathi: UJerobowamu uyakufa ngenkemba, u-Israyeli athunjwe nokuthunjwa ezweni lakhe.
