13 Afulathela uJehova begodu alotjha uBhali nemifanekiso ka-Atjhitarothi.+

7 Ngalokho ama-Israyeli enza okumbi emehlweni kaJehova, akhohlwa uJehova uZimawo, alotjha aboBhali+ neengodo ezicwengileko.*+

30 U-Arhabi indodana ka-Omri wenza okumbi khulu emehlweni kaJehova ukudlula boke abangaphambi kwakhe.+ 31 Njengokungathi yinto encani kuye ukukhamba ezonweni zakaJerobhowamu+ indodana kaNebathi, wangezelela ngokutjhada noJezebheli+ indodakazi ka-Ethi-Bhali, ikosi yamaTsidoni,+ wathoma ukulotjha uBhali+ begodu wamkhothamela. 32 Ukungezelela kilokho, wenzela uBhali+ i-aldara endlini* kaBhali ayakhe eSamariya.

19 Nje-ke tjela u-Israyeli woke ahlangane nami eNtabeni iKarameli,+ kuhlanganise nabaphorofidi bakaBhali abama-450 nabaphorofidi besigodo esicwengileko*+ abama-400, abadla etafuleni lakaJezebheli.”

13 UJehova wasolo ayelelisa u-Israyeli noJuda asebenzisa boke abaphorofidi bakhe nabo boke ababona imibono,+ wathi: “Tjhugulukani eendleleni zenu ezimbi!+ Phethani imiyalo nemithethwami ngokuvumelana nawo woke umthetho engayala ngawo abokhokho benu nengiyithumele kini ngeensebenzi zami abaphorofidi.”

16 Asolo atjhiya yoke imiyalo kaJehova uZimawo, azenzela iinthombe zamathole amabili+ ngesimbi nesigodo esicwengileko,*+ akhothamela loke ibutho lezulwini+ begodu alotjha uBhali.+
