31 Kwakungathi akwenelanga kuye ukwenza izono ezazenziwe nguJerobhowami+ indodana kaNebhathi, ngakho wathatha uJezebheli+ indodakazi ka-Ethibhali inkosi yamaSidoni,+ waqalisa ukukhonza uBhali+ lokumkhothamela.

4 Ngesikhathi uJezebheli+ ebulala abaphrofethi bakaJehova, u-Obhadiya wathatha abaphrofethi abangu-100 wayabafihla. Wafihla abangu-50 ebhalwini olulodwa, kwathi abanye abangu-50 wabafaka kolunye ubhalu futhi wayebanika ukudla* lamanzi.)

2 UJezebheli wathi esizwa lokhu wathumela isithunywa ku-Elija wathi siyemtshela sithi: “Onkulunkulu kabangijezise kabuhlungu nxa kusasa ngalesi isikhathi ngingakwenzanga wafana labaphrofethi labo obabuleleyo!”

25 Phela akula omunye owenze njengo-Ahabi.+ Yena uzimisele ukwenza okubi phambi kukaJehova etshotshozelwa ngumkakhe uJezebheli.+
