17 UBhahasha inkosi yako-Israyeli wabuya wazohlasela abakoJuda. Waqalisa ukwakha* iRama+ ukuze kungabi lomuntu ozaphuma kumbe ozangena elizweni lika-Asa inkosi yakoJuda.+ 18 Ngakho u-Asa wathatha sonke isiliva legolide elalisele ezindlini zokugcinela inotho yendlu kaJehova lasezindlini zokugcinela inotho yendlu yenkosi.* Walinika izinceku zakhe wasezithuma kuBheni-hadadi indodana kaThabhrimoni indodana kaHeziyoni, inkosi yeSiriya+ eyayihlala eDamaseko. U-Asa wathi: 19 “Kulesivumelwano phakathi kwami lawe, laphakathi kukababa loyihlo. Ngikuthumele isipho, isiliva legolide, buya uzokwephula isivumelwano sakho loBhahasha inkosi yako-Israyeli ukuze asuke kimi.”
