11 Kumele lilethe konke engilitshela khona, likulethe endaweni uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu azakhetha ukuthi ibizo lakhe lihlale kuyo.+ Lizaletha iminikelo yenu yokutshiswa, lemihlatshelo yenu, leminikelo yenu yokwetshumi,+ leminikelo evela esandleni senu kanye leminikelo yazo zonke izifungo elizenza kuJehova.

22 UDavida wathi: “Le yindlu kaJehova uNkulunkulu weqiniso futhi leli li-alithare leminikelo yokutshiswa yabantu bako-Israyeli.”+

8 U-Asa wathi esizwa amazwi la, lesiphrofetho sika-Odedi umphrofethi, waba lesibindi wasusa izithombe ezenyanyekayo kulo lonke ilizwe lakoJuda+ lelakoBhenjamini, lakuwo wonke amadolobho ayewathumbile ayesezintabeni zako-Efrayimi. Waphinda wavuselela le-alithare likaJehova elaliphambi kwevurandi likaJehova.+ 9 Wabuthanisa bonke abakoJuda labakoBhenjamini labezinye izizwe ababevela ko-Efrayimi lakoManase lakoSimiyoni,+ ababebuye kuye ngobunengi bevela ko-Israyeli ngoba babebona ukuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe wayelaye.

10 Ngakho izithunywa zahamba idolobho ngedolobho kulo lonke elako-Efrayimi lelakoManase.+ Zahamba zaze zayafika lakoZebhuloni. Kodwa abantu babezihleka futhi bezichothoza.+ 11 Lanxa kunjalo abanye esizwaneni sako-Asheri lesakoManase lesakoZebhuloni bazehlisa babuya eJerusalema.+
