16 INkhosi Asa yasusa gogo wayo Makha+ esikhundleni sekuba yindlovukazi, ngobe Makha bekente sithico lesenyanyekako sekukhonta insika lengcwele.*+ Asa wajuba lesithico lesenyanyekako futsi wasiphihlita wase usishisela eSihosheni saseKhidroni.+ 17 Kodvwa tindzawo letiphakeme atizange tisuswe+ ka-Israyeli.+ Nobe kunjalo, inhlitiyo ya-Asa beyitinikele ngalokuphelele kuNkulunkulu konkhe kuphila kwakhe.*+ 18 Waletsa endlini yaNkulunkulu weliciniso tintfo lebetingcweliswe nguye nababe wakhe letifaka ekhatsi lisiliva, ligolide kanye naletinye tintfo.+

18 Nakacedza kusho letintfo, Jesu wesuka nebafundzi bakhe baya ensimini+ lebeyingesheya kweSihosha saseKhidroni.+
