Inkosi yakwa -Israyeli yathi : Mthathe uMikhaya , umbuyisele ku -Amoni, umbusi womuzi, nakuJowashi indodana yenkosi,

Besakhuphuka ummango womuzi bafumana amantombazana eyakukha amanzi; bathi kuwo: Umboni ukhona na?

Umphathi wendlu nomphathi womuzi kanye namalunga nabondli bathumela kuJehu, bathi: Siyizinceku zakho , siyakwenza konke oyakusitshela khona ; asiyikwenza muntu abe yinkosi; yenza okuhle emehlweni akho.

Inkosi y akwa-Israyeli yathi : Mthatheni uMikhaya , nimbuyisele ku -Amoni umbusi womuzi nakuJowashi indodana yenkosi,

Ngomnyaka weshumi nesishiyagalombili wokubusa kwakhe esehlambululile izwe nendlu , wathuma uShafani, indodana ka -Asaliya, noMahaseya umbusi womuzi, noJowa indodana kaJowahazi , umabhalana, ukuba bayilungise indlu kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe.

Lapha uZebule umphathi womuzi ezwa amazwi kaGali indodana ka -Ebedi, kwavutha ulaka lwakhe.

Kepha uPawulu wathi : Mina ngingumJuda waseTarsu laseKhilikhiya , ngingumuntu womuzi ongesiwo ongenalo udumo; ngiyacela, ake ungivumele ngikhulume kubantu.

Uyakhonza kini uGayu ongingenise kwakhe , mina nebandla lonke . Uyakhonza kini u-Erastu, umphathisikhwama womuzi, noKwartu umzalwane.

Lapho amadoda ase-Ayi ebheka emva kwabo, abona, bheka, umusi womuzi wenyukela ngasezulwini ; ayengenamandla ukubaleka ngalapha noma ngalapha, lapho abantu ababebalekele ngasehlane sebephendukela ababaxoshayo.

Ngokuba nxa uJoshuwa nabo bonke abakwa -Israyeli bebona ukuthi abaqamekeleyo bawuthathile umuzi nokuthi umusi womuzi wenyuka , base bebuyela emuva, bawabulala amadoda ase-Ayi.

Kepha uma umbulali edlula ngesikhathi esithile umkhawulo womuzi wakhe wokuphephela lapho ebalekele khona,
