5 Ngakho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe wenza ukuthi inkosi yeSiriya+ imnqobe, yasithumba abantu abanengi yabahambisa eDamaseko.+ Wamnikela lasesandleni senkosi yako-Israyeli futhi yona yabulala abantu bakhe abanengi kakhulu. 6 UPhekha+ indodana kaRemaliya wabulala amadoda akoJuda alesibindi angu-120 000 ngelanga elilodwa. Lokhu kwenzakala ngenxa yokuthi abakoJuda babetshiye uJehova uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo.+ 7 UZikhiri iqhawe lako-Efrayimi wabulala uMahaseya indodana yenkosi, lo-Azirikhamu owayekhangela isigodlo senkosi, kanye lo-Elikhana umsekeli wenkosi. 8 Abako-Israyeli bathumba abantu abangu-200 000 ezihlotsheni zabo zakoJuda. Bathumba abesifazana, lamadodana, lamadodakazi kanye lempahla enengi kakhulu bahamba layo eSamariya.+
