3. Wavutha umsindo kaYehova kumaSirayeli, wawanikela esandleni sikaHazayeli ukumkani wakwa-Aram,* nasesandleni sikaBhenhadadi, unyana kaHazayeli, yonke imihla.
4. UYehowahazi wambongoza uYehova; uYehova wamva ke; ngokuba wakubona ukuxinwa kwamaSirayeli; ngokuba ukumkani wama-Aram wayewaxinile.
5. (UYehova wawanika amaSirayeli umsindisi, aphuma phantsi kwesandla sama-Aram; bahlala oonyana bakaSirayeli ezintenteni zabo, njengokwangaphambili;
6. nakuba babengatyekanga ezonweni zendlu kaYarobheham awawonisa ngazo amaSirayeli, asuka ahamba kuzo; noAshera* wayesemi kwaSamari.)
7. Ngokuba akamshiyelanga bantu uYehowahazi, yaba ngamashumi amahlanu abamahashe, neshumi leenqwelo zokulwa, neshumi lamawaka omqikela; ngokuba wabatshabalalisa ukumkani wakwa-Aram, wabenza baba njengothuli lokunyathelwa.
8. Ezinye izinto zikaYehowahazi, nako konke awakwenzayo, nobukroti bakhe, azibhalwanga na encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaSirayeli?
9. Walala uYehowahazi kooyise, bamngcwabela kwaSamari. UYehohashe, unyana wakhe, waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe.
10. Ngomnyaka wamashumi omathathu anesixhenxe kaYowashe ukumkani wakwaYuda, uYehohashe unyana kaYehowahazi waba ngukumkani wamaSirayeli kwaSamari, iminyaka elishumi elinamithandathu.
11. Wenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova; akatyeka kwizono zonke zikaYarobheham unyana kaNebhati, awawonisa ngazo amaSirayeli; wasuka wahamba kuzo.
12. Ezinye izinto zikaYehohashe, nako konke awakwenzayo, nobukroti bakhe awalwa ngabo noAmatsiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, azibhalwanga na encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaSirayeli?
13. Walala uYehohashe kooyise; uYarobheham wahlala etroneni yakhe. UYehohashe wangcwatyelwa kwaSamari, kookumkani bakwaSirayeli.
14. Ke kaloku uElisha wayesifa sisifo awayeza kufa siso. Wehla uYehohashe ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, waya kuye, walila phambi kwakhe, wathi, Bawo, bawo, nqwelo yokulwa yakwaSirayeli nabamahashe bakhe!
