28 U-Ahazi+ wayeleminyaka engu-20 ngesikhathi esiba yinkosi futhi wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka engu-16. Kazange enze okulungileyo phambi kukaJehova, kenzanga njengoDavida ukhokho wakhe.+ 2 Walandela okwakusenziwa ngamakhosi ako-Israyeli,+ waze wenza lezithombe+ zaboBhali ngensimbi.

24 Phezu kwalokho u-Ahazi wathatha izitsha zendlu kaNkulunkulu weqiniso+ wazibulala, wavala leminyango yendlu kaJehova+ njalo wakha ama-alithare akhe kuyo yonke iJerusalema.
