11 Loo tyesana yayisithi yakuziswa ngabaLevi kumaphakathi kakumkani aze abone ukuba sekukho isixa semali, unobhala wasebhotwe negosa lombingeleli omkhulu babeyithatha bayikhuphe loo mali, baze bayiphindisele kwasendaweni yayo ityesana leyo. Le nto ke babeyenza njalo-njalo, baza ke ngaloo ndlela baqokelela imali eninzi.
12 Ukumkani noJoyada bayinikezela kuloo madoda ayesenza umsebenzi wendlu kaNdikhoyo. Baqesha iingcibi nabachweli ukuze zihlaziye indlu kaNdikhoyo, kananjalo bafuna nabasebenzi bentsimbi nobhedu ukuze balungise indlu kaNdikhoyo.
13 Loo madoda ayongamele umsebenzi lowo ayekhuthele, waza ke umsebenzi wokuhlaziya waqhubela phambili phantsi kwawo. Indlu kaThixo baphinda bayakha, bayibuyisela kwimo yayo yantlandlolo bayixhasa.
14 Bakuyiphetha ke, imali eseleyo bayisa kukumkani noJoyada; kwaza ke ngayo kwenziwa izinto zokusetyenziswa endlwini kaNdikhoyo: izixhobo zokusebenza, ezamadini atshiswayo, imicephe, nezinye izinto zegolide nezesiliva. Ngethuba lobomi bukaJoyada amadini atshiswayo ayenikezelwa engaphezi endlwini kaNdikhoyo.
15 Ke uJoyada wayeseleneminyaka, ekhulile emdala, enekhulu elinamashumi amathathu eminyaka ukufa kwakhe.
16 Wangcwatywa phakathi kookumkani kwisixeko sikaDavide, kuba kaloku wayenze okulungileyo kuThixo nendlu yakhe kwaSirayeli.
17 Emva kokusweleka kukaJoyada amaphakathi akwaJuda eza kubusa kukumkani, waza ke wawaphulaphula.
