2 UJezebheli wathi esizwa lokhu wathumela isithunywa ku-Elija wathi siyemtshela sithi: “Onkulunkulu kabangijezise kabuhlungu nxa kusasa ngalesi isikhathi ngingakwenzanga wafana labaphrofethi labo obabuleleyo!”

4 Wahamba umango welanga elilodwa engena enkangala, wasehlala ngaphansi kwesihlahla wacela ukuthi afe. Wathi: “Awu Jehova, sekwanele! Susa impilo yami+ ngoba angingcono kulabokhokho bami.”

3 Kodwa uJona wabona kungcono ukuthi abalekele uJehova aye eThashishi. Ngakho waqonda eJopha wathola umkhumbi, wasebhadala wangena emkhunjini ukuze aye eThashishi abalekele uJehova.
