20 Inkosi yeSiriya+ uBheni-hadadi+ yaqoqa lonke ibutho layo yayahlangana lamanye amakhosi angu-32 kanye lamabutho awo lamabhiza lezinqola zawo zempi. UBheni-hadadi wasuka wayavimbezela+ iSamariya+ efuna ukuyihlasela.

18 Ngakho uJehowashi inkosi yakoJuda wathatha yonke iminikelo engcwele eyayinikelwe ngokhokho bakhe uJehoshafathi loJehoramu lo-Ahaziya, amakhosi akoJuda, wayithumela kuHazayeli inkosi yeSiriya.+ Wathumela leminikelo yakhe engcwele, lalo lonke igolide elalisezindlini zokugcinela inotho yendlu kaJehova lasezindlini zokugcinela inotho yendlu yenkosi.* Yikho-ke uHazayeli wayekela ukuhlasela iJerusalema.

8 U-Ahazi wathatha isiliva legolide elalisendlini kaJehova laseziphaleni zenotho yendlu yenkosi* wakuthumela enkosini ye-Asiriya.+
