28 U-Ahazi+ wayeleminyaka engu-20 ngesikhathi esiba yinkosi futhi wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka engu-16. Kazange enze okulungileyo phambi kukaJehova, kenzanga njengoDavida ukhokho wakhe.+

3 Phezu kwalokho wenza imihlatshelo esigodini sendodana kaHinomi* njalo watshisa lamadodana akhe emlilweni,+ elandela izenzo ezenyanyekayo ezazisenziwa yizizwe+ uJehova azixotsha phambi kwabako-Israyeli.

33 UManase+ wayeleminyaka engu-12 ngesikhathi esiba yinkosi njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka engu-55.+

6 Watshisa amadodana akhe+ esigodini sendodana kaHinomi,+ wenza lamasalamusi,+ wahlahlula, wathakatha, futhi wavumela ukuthi kube lezangoma labalomoya wokutshela abantu ngekusasa.+ Wenza izinto ezinengi kakhulu ezimbi phambi kukaJehova wamthukuthelisa.

31 ‘Bakhe izindawo eziphakemeyo* eThofethi, esigodini sendodana kaHinomi,*+ ukuze batshisele khona amadodana lamadodakazi abo emlilweni,+ into engingazange ngibatshele ukuthi bayenze njalo engazange ifike enhliziyweni yami.’*+
