29 UJoshuwa wasuka eMakheda lawo wonke amabutho ako-Israyeli wayahlasela iLibhina.+ 30 UJehova wanikela inkosi yayo+ labantu bayo ezandleni zabako-Israyeli. Babulala wonke umuntu ngenkemba, akuzange kuphunyuke loyedwa. Benza enkosini yayo lokho ababekwenze enkosini yeJerikho.+

22 Abako-Edomi bahlamukela abakoJuda kusukela ngalesosikhathi kuze kube lamuhla. ILibhina+ layo yahlamuka ngalesosikhathi.

8 URabhishakhe wathi esezwile ukuthi inkosi ye-Asiriya isisukile eLakhishi,+ wabuyela kuyo wayithola isilwa leLibhina.+ 9 Inkosi ye-Asiriya yasisizwa ukuthi uThirihakha inkosi yeTopiya uzokulwa layo. Yathi isikuzwile lokhu yaphinda yathuma izithunywa+ kuHezekhiya isithi: 10 “Nanku okumele likutshele uHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda, ‘Ungavumi ukuthi uNkulunkulu wakho omthembileyo akuyenge esithi: “IJerusalema ayisoze inikelwe esandleni senkosi ye-Asiriya.”+ 11 Ngithemba uzwile ukuthi amakhosi e-Asiriya asetshaye abhuqa zonke izizwe azitshabalalisa.+ Pho wena nguwe ongasila yini? 12 Onkulunkulu bezizwe ezatshabalaliswa ngokhokho bami benelisa yini ukukhulula lezozizwe? Ingaphi iGozani, leHarani,+ leRezefi kanye labantu base-Edeni ababeseTheli-asari? 13 Ingaphi inkosi yeHamathi, lenkosi ye-Ariphadi, lenkosi yamadolobho eSefavayimi, lenkosi yeHena leye-Iva?’”+
