7 Abako-Israyeli benza okubi phambi kukaJehova,* bamkhohlwa uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo futhi bakhonza oBhali+ lezithombe zika-Ashera.*+

18 Abantu batshiya indlu kaJehova uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo baqalisa ukukhonza izithombe zika-Ashera* lezinye izithombe. UNkulunkulu wabathukuthelela abantu bakoJuda labeJerusalema ngenxa yesono sabo.

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

3 Wakha kutsha izindawo eziphakemeyo* ezazidilizwe+ nguyise uHezekhiya, wakhela oBhali ama-alithare njalo wenza lezithombe zika-Ashera.* Wakhothamela lonke ibutho elisemazulwini* walikhonza.+
