Eyesishiyagalolunye ngenyanga yesishiyagalolunye kwakungu -Abiyezeri umAnathoti wabakwaBenjamini ; esigabeni sakhe kwakukhona izinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nane.

Kepha uJehova wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro , kabavumelanga abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuba bahambe. Inhlupheko yesishiyagalolunye: ubumnyama

Bonke abantu bakwaJuda nabakwaBenjamini babuthana eJerusalema ngezinsuku ezintathu ; kwakuyinyanga yesishiyagalolunye , ngolwamashumi amabili lwenyanga ; bonke abantu bahlala esigcawini ngaphambi kwendlu kaNkulunkulu bethuthumela ngale ndaba nangemvula enkulu.
