13. Wabuya wathuma owesithathu umthetheli-mashumi-mahlanu, enamashumi omahlanu akhe. Wenyuka ke owesithathu umthetheli-mashumi-mahlanu, waguqa ngamadolo phambi koEliya, watarhuzisa kuye, wathi kuye, Mfo wakwaThixo, mawunqabe emehlweni akho umphefumlo wam, nomphefumlo wabakhonzi bakho abamashumi mahlanu.
14. Ùyabona, kwehla umlilo ezulwini, wabadla abathetheli bobabini baloo mashumi angamahlanu, kunye namashumi omahlanu abo; ngoko ke mawunqabe emehlweni akho umphefumlo wam.
15. Sathi isithunywa sikaYehova kuEliya, Yihla naye; musa ukumoyika. Wesuka ke, wehla, waya naye kukumkani.
16. Wathi kuye, Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Ngenxa enokuba uthumele abathunywa bokubuzisa kuBhahali-zebhubhi, uthixo wase-Ekron, kungokuba kungekho Thixo kwaSirayeli na, kungábuziswa kuye? Ngako oko isingqengqelo eso, unyuké waya kuso, akusayi kuhla kuso; inene, uya kufa.
17. Wafa ke ngokwelizwi likaYehova elathethwa nguEliya. UYehoram waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe, ngomnyaka wesibini kaYehoram unyana kaYehoshafati, ukumkani wakwaYuda; ngokuba yena ebengenanyana.
18. Ezinye izinto zika-Ahaziya awazenzayo, azibhalwanga na encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaSirayeli?
