14 Akukhangela wabona tyhini nanko ukumkani emi ngasentsikeni ngokusesikweni. Amaphakathi nabakhalisi-maxilongo babephahle ukumkani, baye bonke abemi belizwe benemihlali bekhalisa amaxilongo. Ke uAtaliya wasuka wazikrazula izambatho zakhe, wadanduluka wathi: “Uvukelo! Uvukelo!”
15 Umbingeleli uJoyada wayalela iingqwayi-ngqwayi zamabutho omkhosi, wathi: “Mthatheni nimkhuphe phakathi kwamabutho; nabani na omlandelayo nimbulale ngekrele.” Kaloku umbingeleli wayesithi: “Makangabulawelwa endlwini kaNdikhoyo.”
