20 Ikosi yeSiriya+ uBhen-Hadadi+ yabuthelela ibutho layo loke kuhlanganise namanye amakhosi ama-32 kunye neenjomani neenkarana zawo; yakhuphukela eSamariya+ yalivimbezela+ begodu yalwa nalo.

34 Nje-ke uBhen-Hadadi wathi kuye: “Amadorobho ubaba awathatha kuyihlo ngizowabuyisa begodu uzozivulela amatatawu wokuthengisela eDamaseku njengombana ubaba enza eSamariya.”

U-Arhabi waphendula wathi: “Ngesisekelo sesivumelwanesi, ngizokulisa ukhambe.”

Ngokunjalo wenza isivumelwano naye wamlisa wakhamba.

31 Ikosi yeSiriya yayala abalawuli beenkarana zayo zepi ezima-32 yathi:+ “Ningalwi nananyana ngubani, omncani namkha omkhulu kodwana yilwani nekosi yakwa-Israyeli kwaphela.”
