8 Empumalanga kweJerikho phetsheya kukaJodani bakhetha iBhezeri+ esendaweni eyinkangala emagcekeni esizwana sakoRubheni. Bakhetha leRamothi+ eseGiliyadi esizwaneni sakoGadi, leGolani+ eseBhashani esizwaneni sakoManase.+

9 Amadolobho la yiwo akhethwayo ukuze loba ngubani owako-Israyeli kumbe owesinye isizwe ohlala phakathi kwabo abalekele khona nxa angabulala umuntu ngengozi. Wayezaphephela khona+ ukuze lowo ofuna ukuphindisela* angambulali engakathonisiswa phambi kwebandla.+

3 Inkosi yako-Israyeli yakhuluma lezinceku zayo yathi: “Angithi liyakwazi ukuthi iRamothi-giliyadi+ ngeyethu? Kodwa lokhu sidonda ukuyithatha enkosini yeSiriya.”
