3 UJehova waqhubeka eloJehoshafathi ngoba wahamba ezindleleni zikakhokho wakhe uDavida+ njalo kazange akhonze oBhali. 4 Wamdinga uNkulunkulu kayise+ njalo walandela imilayo yakhe,* kazange alandele imikhuba eyayisenziwa ngabako-Israyeli.+

3 Lanxa kunjalo kulezinto ezinhle ezitholakale kuwe,+ ngoba ususe izithombe zika-Ashera* elizweni futhi walungisa inhliziyo* yakho ukuze udinge uNkulunkulu weqiniso.”+

4 UJehoshafathi waqhubeka ehlala eJerusalema. Waphinda waphuma wahambela abantu kusukela eBheri-shebha kuze kuyefika ezintabeni zako-Efrayimi+ ukuze abancede babuyele kuJehova uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo.+
