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.
5. Kwathi ke akufa uAhabhi, wakreqa ukumkani wamaMowabhi kukumkani wamaSirayeli.
6. Waphuma ke ukumkani uYehoram ngayo loo mini kwaSamari, wawabala onke amaSirayeli.
