26 U-Ahaziya wayeleminyaka engu-22 ngesikhathi esiba yinkosi futhi wabusa eJerusalema okomnyaka owodwa. Unina kwakungu-Athaliya,+ umzukulu* ka-Omri+ inkosi yako-Israyeli.

20 Ngakho bonke abantu bathokoza futhi kwaba lokuthula edolobheni ngoba u-Athaliya basebembulele ngenkemba endlini yenkosi.

5 UJehoramu wayeleminyaka engu-32 ngesikhathi esiba yinkosi njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka engu-8.+ 6 Wenza lokho okwakusenziwa ngamakhosi ako-Israyeli,+ walandela izenzo zabendlu ka-Ahabi ngoba wayethethe+ indodakazi ka-Ahabi. Waqhubeka esenza okubi phambi kukaJehova.

7 Phela amadodana ka-Athaliya,+ owesifazana lowana owayesenza okubi, agqekeza endlini kaNkulunkulu weqiniso+ athatha zonke izinto ezingcwele ezazisendlini kaJehova ukuze ayezisebenzisa ukukhonza oBhali.”
