1. Ke kaloku uYehoram, unyana ka-Ahabhi, waba ngukumkani kumaSirayeli kwaSamari, ngomnyaka weshumi elinesibhozo kaYehoshafati ukumkani wakwaYuda; waba neminyaka elishumi elinamibini engukumkani.
2. Wenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova; kodwa akaba njengoyise nanjengonina; kuba wasisusa isimiso selitye sikaBhahali,* awasenzayo uyise.
3. Kodwa ke wanamathela ezonweni zikaYarobheham unyana kaNebhati, awawonisa ngazo amaSirayeli; akatyeka kuzo.
4. Ke kaloku uMesha, ukumkani wamaMowabhi, ubengumfuyi weegusha; emana embuyisela ukumkani wakwaSirayeli ngoboya bekhulu lamawaka eemvana, nekhulu lamawaka eenkunzi zeegusha.
