29 Icala leli kaliphendukele ekhanda likaJowabi+ lakuyo yonke indlu kayise. Kwangathi endlini kaJowabi kungahlala kulendoda ephuma ubomvu ezithweni zayo zensitha+ loba elobulephero+ kumbe esebenza esigodweni sokuphotha uhali.* Akungasweleki muntu ozabulawa yinkemba kumbe oswela ukudla.”+

31 Inkosi yathi kuye: “Yenza lokho akutshele khona, mbulale ubusumngcwaba ususe kimi lasendlini kababa igazi labantu uJowabi ababulala bengelacala.+ 32 UJehova uzamjezisa ngokuchitha kwakhe igazi,* ngoba wabulala ngenkemba amadoda amabili ayelungile ukwedlula yena njalo engcono kulaye. Wabulala u-Abhineri+ indodana kaNeri owayeyinduna yebutho lako-Israyeli,+ lo-Amasa+ indodana kaJetheri owayeyinduna yebutho lakoJuda.+ Lokhu wakwenza ubaba engazi. 33 Icala lokubulawa kwabo alibe sekhanda likaJowabi lasezizukulwaneni zakhe kuze kube nini lanini.+ Kwangathi uDavida lezizukulwane zakhe lendlu yakhe kanye lesihlalo sakhe sobukhosi kungaba lokuthula okuvela kuJehova kuze kube nini lanini.” 34 Ngakho uBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada wasuka wayahlasela uJowabi wambulala. UJowabi wangcwatshwa emzini wakhe enkangala.
