17 Inkosi ye-Asiriya yathuma uTharithani* loRabhisarisi* loRabhishakhe* enkosini uHezekhiya. Basuka eLakhishi+ baya eJerusalema+ belebutho elikhulu. Bafika bama emgelweni wamanzi ovela echibini elingaphezulu, ngasemgwaqweni omkhulu endaweni yabawatshayo.+ 18 Bathi bebiza inkosi ukuthi iphume, u-Eliyakhimu+ indodana kaHilikhiya owayengumphathi wendlu yenkosi,* loShebhina+ unobhala, loJowa indodana ka-Asafi owayebhala okwakusenzakala, baphuma baya kubo.
