25. Ke uYehova wamthanda; wathumela ngesandla sikaNatan umprofeti, wathi, Igama lakhe nguYedidiya,* ngenxa kaYehova.
26. Ke kaloku uYowabhi walwa neRabha yoonyana baka-Amon, wawuthimba umzi wakomkhulu lowo.
27. UYowabhi wathuma abathunywa kuDavide, esithi, Ndilwile neRabha, kananjalo ndiwuthimbile umzi wamanzi.
28. Hlanganisa ngoko abantu abaseleyo, uwurhawule umzi, uwuthimbe; hleze mna ndiwuthimbe lo mzi, ubizwe ngam.
29. Wabahlanganisa uDavide bonke abantu, waya eRabha, walwa nayo, wayithimba.
30. Wasithabatha isithsaba sokumkani wabo entlokweni yakhe; ubunzima baso bebuyitalente* yegolide, sinamatye anqabileyo; saba sentlokweni kaDavide. Waphuma namaxhoba aloo mzi, aba maninzi kunene.
31. Ke abantu ababekhona wabarhola, wabathumela ezisarheni, nasezisizilweni zesinyithi, nasezierheni zesinyithi, wabasebenzisa emazikweni ezitena. Wenjenjalo kwimizi yonke yoonyana baka-Amon. Wabuyela eYerusalem uDavide nabantu bonke.
