4 “Akumelanga uzenzele isithombe esibaziweyo kumbe isithombe saloba yini ephezulu emazulwini loba emhlabeni phansi kumbe esemanzini ngaphansi komhlaba.+

9 Bazamphendula bathi, ‘UJehova ubehlisele umonakalo lo ngenxa yokuthi bamtshiyile uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo owakhipha okhokho babo elizweni leGibhithe, balandela abanye onkulunkulu babakhonza futhi babakhothamela.’”+

30 U-Ahabi indodana ka-Omri wenza okubi phambi kukaJehova ukwedlula wonke amakhosi ayebuse ngaphambi kwakhe.+ 31 Kwakungathi akwenelanga kuye ukwenza izono ezazenziwe nguJerobhowami+ indodana kaNebhathi, ngakho wathatha uJezebheli+ indodakazi ka-Ethibhali inkosi yamaSidoni,+ waqalisa ukukhonza uBhali+ lokumkhothamela. 32 Wakhela uBhali+ i-alithare endlini ayemakhele yona* eSamariya. 33 U-Ahabi wenza lesithombe sika-Ashera.*+ Wenza okunengi okwathukuthelisa uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ukwedlula wonke amakhosi ako-Israyeli ayebuse ngaphambi kwakhe.
