14 Kaloku ke ùthi, Hamba uye kuthi enkosini yakho, Nanku elapha uEliya; ukuze indibulale.
15 Wathi uEliya, Ehleli nje uYehova wemikhosi, endimiyo phambi kwakhe, inene, namhlanje ndiya kubonana naye.
16 UObhadiya waya kumkhawulela ke uAhabhi, wamxelela; wahamba uAhabhi, waya kumkhawulela uEliya.
17 Kwathi, uAhabhi akumbona uEliya, wathi uAhabhi kuye, Ùlapha na wena, uwahlisele intlekele amaSirayeli?
18 Wathi yena, Andiwahliselanga ntlekele amaSirayeli; nguwe nendlu kayihlo, ngokuyishiya kwenu imithetho kaYehova, walandela ooBhahali.*
19 Ke ngoko, thumela uwahlanganisele kum amaSirayeli onke entabeni yeKarmele, nabaprofeti bakaBhahali abangamakhulu amané anamanci mahlanu, nabaprofeti baka-Ashera* abangamakhulu amané, abadla etafileni kaIzebhele.
20 Wathumela ke uAhabhi koonyana bonke bakaSirayeli, wabahlanganisela abaprofeti entabeni yeKarmele.
