17 Inkosi yeBhabhiloni yabeka uMathaniya umfowabo kayise kaJehoyakhini+ waba yinkosi esikhundleni sikaJehoyakhini, yasimtshintsha ibizo waba nguZedekhiya.+

18 UZedekhiya wayeleminyaka engu-21 ngesikhathi esiba yinkosi futhi wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka engu-11. Unina kwakunguHamuthali+ indodakazi kaJeremiya waseLibhina. 19 UZedekhiya waqhubeka esenza okubi phambi kukaJehova, elandela konke okwakusenziwa nguJehoyakhimu.+

15 Amadodana kaJosiya kwakunguJohanani izibulo lakhe, owesibili kunguJehoyakhimu,+ owesithathu kunguZedekhiya,+ owesine kunguShalumi.
