11. Amadoda omzi wakhe, amadoda amakhulu nabanumzana ababehleli kuloo mzi wakhe, bênza njengoko abebathumele ngako uIzebhele, njengoko kwakubhaliwe ezincwadini abezithumele kubo.
12. Bamema uzilo lokudla, bambeka uNabhoti phambi kwabantu.
13. Kwafika loo madoda mabini angamatshijolo, ahlala phambi kwakhe. Amadoda lawo angamatshijolo angqina ngaye uNabhoti phambi kwabantu, athi, UNabhoti uthuké uThixo nokumkani. Bamkhuphela ngaphandle komzi, bamgibisela ngamatye, wafa.
14. Bathumela ke kuIzebhele, bathi, UNabhoti ugityiselwe ngamatye, wafa.
15. Kwathi, akuva uIzebhele ukuba uNabhoti ugityiselwe ngamatye, wafa, wathi uIzebhele kuAhabhi, Suka, usithabathe isidiliya sikaNabhoti waseYizereli, abengavumi ukukunika ngemali; ngokuba uNabhoti akasekho, ufile.
16. Kwathi, akuva uAhabhi ukuba uNabhoti ufile, wesuka uAhabhi, wehla, waya kusithabatha isidiliya sikaNabhoti waseYizereli.
17. Lafika ilizwi likaYehova kuEliya waseTishbhi, lisithi,
18. Suka uhle, uye kukhawulela uAhabhi ukumkani wakwaSirayeli okwaSamari; nanko esesidiliyeni sikaNabhoti, ehle waya kusithabatha.
19. Uze uthethe kuye, uthi, Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Ùbuléle na, wathabatha na? Uthèthe kuye, uthi, Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Endaweni ezixhaphele kuyo izinja igazi likaNabhoti, ziya kulixhaphela khona izinja igazi lakho, wena lo.
20. Wathi uAhabhi kuEliya, Ùndifumene na, lutshaba lwam? Wathi yena, Ndikufumene; ngenxa enokuba uzithengisele ukwenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova, uyabona,
21. ndikuzisela ububi, ndíwatshayele amavela-mva akho, ndiyinqamle kwa-Ahabhi yonke into eyindoda, ovalelweyo novulelweyo kwaSirayeli.
22. Ndoyenza indlu yakho ibe njengendlu kaYarobheham unyana kaNebhati, nanjengendlu kaBhahesha unyana ka-Ahiya, ngenxa yokuqumbisa ondiqumbise ngako, wawonisa amaSirayeli.
