Inkosi yathi kubo: Thathani izinceku zenkosi yenu, nimkhwelise uSolomoni indodana yami kuwo umnyuzi wami, nimehlisele eGihoni,

Nezinceku zenkosi zafika ukuyibusisa inkosi yethu , inkosi uDavide , ngokuthi: U Nkulunkulu wakho makenze igama likaSolomoni libe lihle kunegama lakho , asenze isihlalo sa khe sobukhosi sibe sikhulu kunesihlalo sakho sobukhosi; inkosi yakhothama embhedeni wayo.

U-Adoniya wahlaba izimvu , nezinkabi, namathole akhuluphalisiweyo ngasetsheni laseZoheleti eliseceleni kwe -Eni Rogeli; wamema bonke abafowabo, amadodana enkosi, nabantu bonke bakwaJuda, izinceku zenkosi;

Izinceku zenkosi yama -Aramu zathi kuyo : Unkulunkulu wabo ungunkulunkulu wezintaba , ngalokho basahlula ; kepha masilwe nabo ethafeni, impela siyakubahlula.

USawule wathi : Niyakusho kanje kuDavide , nithi: Inkosi ayifuni ilobolo , kuphela amajwabu ayikhulu amaFilisti ukuba kuphindiswe ezitheni zenkosi . USawule wacabanga ukumwisa uDavide ngesandla samaFilisti.

Inkosi yathi kuzo izigijimi ezazimi ngakuyo : Sondelani, nibulale abapristi bakaJehova, ngokuba nesandla sabo sinaye uDavide nangokuba bazi ukuthi uDavide wabaleka , bengakwambulelanga kimi . Kepha izinceku zenkosi azivumanga ukwelula isandla sazo ukuba zisukele abapristi bakaJehova.

Inkosi yami mayinganakekeli lowo muntu omubi uNabali , ngokuba unjengegama lakhe, unjalo yena; nguNabali igama lakhe, nobuwula bukuye; kepha mina ncekukazi yakho angizibonanga izinsizwa zenkosi yami owazithumayo.

Wasukuma, wakhothama, ubuso bakhe bubheke phansi , wathi: Bheka, incekukazi yakho mayibe yisigqilakazi sokugeza izinyawo zezinceku zenkosi yami.

Ngalokho vuka ekuseni kusasa kanye nezinceku zenkosi yakho ezifike nawe; senivukile ekuseni kusasa, sekukhanya, hambani.

UDavide wathi ku -Akhishi: Kepha ngenzeni na ? Ufumeneni encekwini yakho, kusukela osukwini engaba phambi kwakho ngalo kuze kub e namuhla, ukuba ngingayi ukulwa nezitha zenkosi yami, inkosi, na?

UDavide wathi kuye : Ungangehlisela kulelo viyo na ? Wathi: Funga kimi uNkulunkulu ukuthi awuyikungibulala , unganginikeli ezandleni zenkosi yami, ngiyakukwehlisela kulelo viyo.

Abalindi bema , kwaba yilowo nalowo enezikhali zakhe esandleni sakhe , kusukela ohlangothini lokunene lwendlu kuze kube sohlangothini lwesokhohlo lwendlu, ngase-altare nasendlini nxazonke zenkosi.

Wathi enkosini yakwa -Israyeli: Beka isandla sakho emnsalw eni. Yabeka-ke isandla sayo. U-Elisha wabeka izandla zakhe phezu kwezandla zenkosi.

Pho, ungaphindisela emuva kanjani nenduna eyodwa ezincekwini ezincane zenkosi yami na ? Nokho wethemba iGibithe ukuthola khona izinqola nabamahhashi.

Izinceku zenkosi uHezekiya sezifikile ku-Isaya,

u-Isaya wathi kuzo : Niyakusho kanje enkosini yenu , nithi: U sho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ungesabi lawo mazwi owezwileyo , izinceku zenkosi yase - Asiriya ezingithuke ngawo.

Kepha ingelosi kaJehova yathi ku -Eliya waseThishibi : Suka ukhuphuke ukuhlangabeza izithu nywa zenkosi yaseSamariya , uthi kuzo : Kungokuba kungekho Nkulunkulu kwa -Israyeli ukuba niye nibuze kuBali Zebubi unkulunkulu wase-Ekroni na?

Kepha uJehoshafati wathi : Akakho lapha umprofethi k aJehova ukuba sibuze kuJehova ngaye na ? Enye yezinceku zenkosi yakwa -Israyeli yaphendula yathi : Ukhona u -Elisha indodana kaShafati owathela amanzi ezandleni zika-Eliya.

Yayisithuma umuntu phambi kwayo, u-Elisha esahlezi endlini yakhe , namalunga ehlezi naye ; kepha, singakafiki kuye isithunywa , wathi emalungeni: Niyabona yini ukuthi le ndodana yombulali ithumele ukunquma ikhanda lami na ? Bhekani, ekufikeni kwesithunywa manivale isivalo , nisibuyisele emuva isithunywa ngesivalo ; angithi izigqi zezinyawo zenkosi yaso zisemva kwaso na?

UJehu waphumela ezincekwini zenkosi yakhe ; enye yathi kuye : Konke kusalungile na? Luzeleni lolo hlanya kuwe na ? Wathi kuzo: Nina niyamazi lowo muntu nakukhulumileyo.

Bheka, u-Amariya umpristi omkhulu uphezu kwenu kuzo zonke izindaba zikaJehova, noZebadiya indodana ka -Ishmayeli, umbusi wendlu yakwaJuda , kuzo zonke izindaba zenkosi ; namaLevi ayakuba yizinduna ngaphambi kwenu. Yibani namandla ekwenzeni kwenu, uJehova uyakuba nabalungileyo.

Wamisa abantu bonke , kwaba yilowo nalowo enesikhali sakhe esandleni sakhe, kusukela ohlangothini lokunene lwendlu kuze kube sohlangothini lwesokhohlo lwendlu, ngase-altare nasendlini nxazonke zenkosi.

Kwathi ngesikhathi umphongolo owayiswa ngaso ezinduneni zenkosi ngesandla samaLevi , nalapho zibona ukuthi imali iningi , umbhali wenkosi nenduna yompristi omkhulu beza , bawuthulula umphongolo , bawuthatha, bawubuyisela endaweni yawo . Benze njalo imihla ngemihla , baqoqa imali eningi.

U-Uziya wayenempi elwayo eyaphuma ukulwa ngamaviyo nj engomumo wokubalwa kwabo ngesandla sikaJehiyeli , umbhali, noMahaseya, umbusi phansi kwesandla sikaHananiya, enye yezinduna zenkosi.

indodana yowesifazane wamadodakazi akwaDani ; uyise wayengumuntu waseTire, owayekwazi ukusebenza ngegolide , nangesiliva, nangethusi, nangensimbi, nangamatshe, nangemithi, nangokububende, nangokuluhlaza, nangelineni elicolekileyo , nangokubomvu, nangokuqopha imiqopho yonke , nangokuqamba yonke imisebenzi yobungcweti , ukuba anikwe indawo kanye nezingcweti zakho nezingcweti zenkosi yami uDavide uyihlo.

Lezo zazi yizinduna ezinkulu zenkosi uSolomoni ; zazingamakhulu amabili namashumi ayisihlanu, zazibusa phezu kwabantu.

Zonke izitsha zokuphuza zenkosi uSolomoni zaziyigolide , nazo zonke izitsha zendlu yehlathi laseLebanoni zaziyigolide elicwengekil eyo, isiliva lingento yalutho emihleni kaSolomoni.

Kumelwe ukuba ngizibonge noma kungasizi ; kepha sengizakuphatha imibono nezambulo zeNkosi.

U-Uriya wathi kuDavide : Umphongolo, no-Israyeli, noJuda bahlezi emadokodweni; inkosi yami uJowabe nezinceku zenkosi yami zimisile endle ; mina-ke, pho, ngingene endlini yami, ngidle, ngiphuze, ngilale nomkami na? Kuphila kwakho nokuphila komphefumulo wakho, angiyikuyenza leyo nto.

Esebiziwe nguDavide wadla waphuza phambi kwakhe ; wamdakisa; kusihlwa waphuma ukuyolala embhedeni wakhe kanye nezinceku zenkosi , kepha akehlelanga endlini yakhe.

Abacibishelayo bacibishela izinceku zakho besogangeni; ezinye izinceku zenkosi zifile, nenceku yakho u-Uriya umHeti ifile nayo.

Kepha u -Uriya walala ngasemnyango wendlu yenkosi kanye nazo zonke izinceku zenkosi yakhe, akehlelanga endlini yakhe.

Izinceku zenkosi zathi enkosini : Noma yintoni engayikhetha inkosi yethu , inkosi bheka, nazi izinceku zakho.

Inkosi yathi kumKushe : Isahlezi kahle insizwa u -Abisalomu na? UmKushe wathi: Izitha zenkosi yami , inkosi, nabo bonke abakuvukelayo ukukulimaza mababe njengaleyo nsizwa.

Wayesethi uDavide ku-Abishayi: Manje uSheba indodana kaBikri uyakwenza okubi kakhulu kithi kuno -Abisalomu; thatha wena izinceku zenkosi yakho , umxoshe, funa azitholele imizi ebiyelweyo, asiphunyuke.

Imicibisholo yakho ib ukhali, izizwe ziyawa phansi kwakho ; isenhliziyweni yezitha zenkosi.

Uyakweleka izinsuk u ezinsukwini zenkosi ; iminyaka yayo iyakuba njengezizukulwane nezizukulwane.

Ngiyakuletha izenzo ezinqabileyo zeNkosi uJehova ; ngiyakubonga ukulunga kwakho, okwakho kuphela.

Bhekani, umvuzo wezisebenzi ezavuna amasimu enu eniwugodlileyo uyakhala, nokukhala kwabavunileyo kungenile ezindlebeni zeNkosi Sebawoti.

Izimpendulo zikaNkulunkulu zisezindebeni zenkosi ; umlomo wayo awuyikuphambuka ekwahluleleni.

wathi: O wena ogcwele inkohliso yonke nobubi bonke, ndodana kaSathane, sitha sokulunga konke, awuyikuyeka ukuziphambukisa izindlela eziqondileyo zeNkosi na?

washumayela umbuso kaNkulunkulu , wafundisa ngaso sonke isibindi izindaba zeNkosi uJesu Kristu, enganqatshelwa muntu.

Wayenodadewabo othiwa nguMariya , owahlala ngasezinyaweni zeNkosi , walizwa izwi layo.

Babelungile bobabili phambi kukaNkulunkulu behamba ngayo yonke imiyalo nezimiso zeNkosi, bengasoleki.

UMemukhani wathi phambi kwenkosi nezikhulu : UVashiti, inkosikazi, akonanga enkosini kuphela , kepha nakuzo zonke izikhulu nakubantu bonke abasezifundeni zenkosi u-Ahashiveroshi.

Namuhla amakhosikazi asePheresiya naseMediya ayizwile le ndaba yenkosikazi ayakukusho ezikhulwini zenkosi, kube ngukudelela nentukuthelo enkulu.

yathuma izincwadi ezifundeni zonke zenkosi , ezifundeni ngezifunda njengokubhala kwazo nasezizweni ngezizwe njengezilimi zazo ukuba yilowo nalowo muntu abuse endlini yakhe, akhulume ngolimi lwesizwe sakubo.

Zase zithi izinceku zenkosi ezaziyikhonza : Inkosi mayifunelwe izintombi ezibukekayo,

Ngalezo zinsuku uMoridekayi esahlezi esangweni lenkosi, izinduna ezimbili zenkosi oBigithani noThereshi kubalindisango zazithukuthele , zafuna ukubeka izandla enkosini u-Ahashiveroshi.

Izincwadi zathunywa ngesandla sezigijimi ezifundeni zonke zenkosi ukuba kuchithwe, kubulawe, kubhujiswe abaJuda bonke, abasha nabadala, izingane nabesifazane, ngalusuku lunye , ngolweshumi nantathu lwenyanga yeshumi nambili eyinyanga ka-Adari, impahla yabo ibe yimpango.

Zonke izinceku zenkosi ezazisesangweni lenkosi zakhothama , zakhuleka kuHamani, ngokuba inkosi iyale kanjalo ngaye . Kepha uMoridekayi akakhothamanga, kakhulekanga kuye.

Zase zithi izinceku zenkosi ezazisesangweni lenkosi kuMoridekayi: Weqelani isiyalezo senkosi na?

Zonke izinceku zenkosi nabantu bezifunda zenkosi bayazi ukuthi bonke abesilisa nabesifazane abeza enk osini egcekeni elingaphakathi bengabizwanga, kukhona umthetho munye ngabo wokuba babulawe , ngaphandle kwalowo inkosi eyakwelulela kuye intonga yegolide ukuba aphile; kodwa mina angibizwanga ukuba ngingene enkosini ngalezi zi nsuku ezingamashumi amathathu.

U-Esteri wayesebiza uHathaki wezinduna zenkosi eyayimmisile ukuba amkhonze, wamyala ukuba aye kuMoridekayi , ukuze akwazi ukuthi kuyini nokuthi kungani na?

UHamani wabalandisa udumo lwengcebo yakhe , nobuningi babantwana bakhe, nakho konke inkosi emkhulisile kukho, nalokho emphakamisile kukho phezu kwezikhulu nezinceku zenkosi.

Besakhuluma naye, zafika izinduna zenkosi , zashesha ukumyisa uHamani edilini u-Esteri alilungisileyo.

Kwafumaniseka kulotshiwe ukuthi uMoridekayi wayelandile ngoBigithani noThereshi izinduna ezimbili zenkosi , abalindisango, ukuthi babefunile ukubeka isandla enkosini u-Ahashiveroshi.

Inkosi yathi : Ludumo luni nobukhulu buni okwenzelwe uMo ridekayi ngalokho na? Zase zithi izinceku zenkosi ezaziyikhonza: Akenzelwanga lutho.

Zathi-ke izinceku zenkosi kuyo: Bheka, uHamani umi egcekeni. Yathi inkosi: Makangene.

ngosuku oluthile ezifundeni zonke zenkosi u -Ahashiveroshi, ngolweshumi nantathu lwenyanga yeshumi nambili eyinyanga ka-Adari.

Wathi: Uma kukuhle enkosini , noma ngifumene umusa phambi kwayo , noma le nto ilungile phambi kwenkosi , uma ngithandeka emehlweni ayo , makulotshwe ukuba zibuyiswe izincwadi zamacebo kaHamani indodana kaHamedatha umAgagi azilobayo ukuba bachithwe abaJuda abasezifundeni zenkosi;

Inkosi yayisithi ku -Esteri inkosikazi : AbaJuda babulele bac hitha abantu abangamakhulu ayisihlanu eShushani endlini yenkosi namadodana ayishumi kaHamani; pho, benzeni kwezinye izifunda zenkosi ? Isicelo sakho siyini ? Uyakusenzelwa. Yini oyifunayo na? Kuyakwenziwa.

Abanye abaJuda ababe sezifundeni zenkosi babuthana , bamela ukuphila kwabo, baphumula ezitheni za bo, babulala abay izinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisikhombisa nanhlanu ababazondayo , kepha ababekanga izandla zabo empangweni.

AbaJuda babuthana emizini yabo ezifundeni zonke zenkosi u -Ahashiveroshi ukuba babek e izandla kulabo ababefuna ukubalimaza ; akubangakho ongamelana nabo, ngokuba abantu bonke babehlelwe yingebhe ngabo.

UMoridekayi waziloba lezo zindaba , wathuma izincwadi kubo bonke abaJuda ababe sezifundeni zonke zenkosi u -Ahashiveroshi, abaseduze nabakude,

wehlisela phezu kwami umusa phambi kwenkosi , nabeluleki bayo , naphambi kwezikhulu zonke zenkosi ezingamaqhawe . Mina ngaqiniswa ngokwesandla seNkosi uNkulunkulu wami esasiphezu kwami, ngabutha ku- Israyeli abayizinhloko ukuba bakhuphuke nami.

Pho, ungaphindisela emuva kanjani ne nduna eyodwa ezincekwini ezincane zenkosi yami na ? Nokho wethemba iGibithe ukuthola khona izinqola nabamahhashi.

Izinceku zenkosi uHezekiya sezifikile ku-Isaya,

u-Isaya wathi kuzo : Niyakusho kanje enkosini yenu , nithi: U sho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ungesabi lawo mazwi owezwileyo, izinceku zenkosi yase - Asiriya ezingithuke ngawo.

Inceku yayisithatha amakamela ayishumi emakameleni enkosi yayo , yahamba, izinto zonke ezinhle zenkosi yayo zisesandleni sayo ; yasuka, yaya eMesopotamiya emzini kaNahori.

Inkosi kaJosefa yamthatha, yamfaka etilongweni, indawo lapho iziboshwa zenkosi zaziboshwa khona; waba khona etilongweni.

Wathi uJuda : Sizakuthini enkosini yami na ? Sizakukhulumani? Sizakuzihlanguza kanjani ? UNkulunkulu ufumene ububi bezinceku zak ho; bheka, siyizigqila zenkosi yami thina naye etholakele esandleni sakhe indebe.

UJuda wayesesondela kuye, ethi: O nkosi yami, inceku yakho mayikhulume izwi ezindlebeni zenkosi yami , ungavuthi ulaka ngenceku yakho , ngokuba ungangoFaro wena.

Lowo wasezincekwini zakho eyakutholwa kuye , makafe yena , thina sibe yizigqila zenkosi yami.

Ngiyakuqinisa izingalo zenkosi yaseBabele , ngibeke inkemba yami esandleni sayo ; kepha ngiyakwaphula izingalo zikaFaro , abubule phamb i kwami ngokububula kogwaziweyo.

Yebo, ngiyakuqinisa izingalo zenkosi yaseBabele , izingalo zikaFaro ziwe , bazi ukuthi nginguJehova , lapho ngibeka inkemba yami esandleni senkosi yaseBabele; yona iyakuyelula phezu kwezwe laseGibithe.

Zase zingena enkosini egcekeni; sezibeke umqulu ekamelweni lika-Elishama umbhali zalanda onke amazwi ezindlebeni zenkosi.

Inkosi yayisimthuma uJehudi ukuba awuland e umqulu ; wawukhipha ekamelweni lika-Elishama umbhali. UJehudi wawufunda ezindlebeni zenkosi nasezindlebeni zazo zonke izikhulu ezazimi ngasenkosini.

Wayesethi uJeremiya kuSedekiya : Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, uthi: U ma uphuma nokuphuma , uye ezikhulwini zenkosi yaseBabele, umphefumulo wakho uyakuphila , futhi lo muzi awuyikushiswa ngomlilo, uphile wena nendlu yakho;

kepha uma ungaphumi uye ezikhulwini zenkosi yaseBabele , lo muzi uyakunikelwa esandleni samaKaledi , awushise ngomlilo , ungaphunyuki esandleni sabo.

Bheka, bonke abesifazane abasele endlini yenkosi yakwaJuda bayakukhishelwa izikhulu zenkosi yaseBabele ; bheka, bayakuthi: Abahlobo bakho abakhulu bakududile , bakwahlula; kepha lapho izinyawo zakh e zishone exhaphozini, babuyele emuva.

UNebuzaradani induna yabalindi kanye noNebushazibani induna yezinceku, noNerigali Sareseri induna yabapristi , nezikhulu zonke zenkosi yaseBabele base bethumela,

kwangena zonke izikhulu zenkosi yaseBabele, zahlala esangweni eliphakathi, oNerigali Sareseri , noSamigari Nebo , noSaresekimi induna yezinceku , noNerigali Sareseri induna yabapristi , kanye nazo zonke ezinye i zikhulu zenkosi yaseBabele.

Kwathi ngenyanga yesikhombisa u -Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya ka - Elishama, wozalo lwenkosi nowezikhulu zenkosi, wafika namadoda ayishumi kuGedaliya indodana ka -Ahikamu eMispa, badla khona isinkwa kanyekanye eMispa.

Ngase ngifika kubabusi phesheya koMfula , ngabanika izincwadi zenkosi . Inkosi yayithume nami izinduna zempi nabamahhashi.
