12 Bamfulathela uJehova uNkulunkulu waboyise owabakhipha elizweni laseGibhithe,+ balandela onkulunkulu bezizwe ezazingomakhelwane+ njalo babakhothamela. Lokhu kwamthukuthelisa uJehova.+

3 USamuyeli wakhuluma labo bonke abantu bako-Israyeli wathi: “Nxa lifuna ukubuyela kuJehova ngenhliziyo yonke,+ lahlani bonke onkulunkulu bezizweni+ lezithombe zika-Ashithorethi+ elilazo, beselibeka inhliziyo zenu kuJehova kuphela futhi likhonze yena yedwa.+ Nxa lingenza njalo uzalikhulula esandleni samaFilisti.”+
