2 Wathumela abathunywa kuAhabhi, ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, kuloo mzi, wathi kuye,
3 Utsho uBhenhadade ukuthi, Isilivere yakho negolide yakho yeyam, nabafazi bakho nabantwana bakho abo bahle ngabam.
4 Waphendula ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, wathi, Ngokwelizwi lakho, nkosi yam, kumkani, ndingowakho, nako konke endinako.
