15 Kwathi ekudumeni kwamadoda akwaYuda, wesuka uThixo wabetha kuYarobheham namaSirayeli onke phambi koAbhiya namaYuda.
16 Basaba oonyana bakaSirayeli ebusweni bamaYuda; uThixo wabanikela esandleni sawo.
17 UAbhiya nabantu bakhe bababulala kakhulu; kwawa ababuleweyo kwaSirayeli amakhulu amahlanu amawaka amadoda ahleliweyo.
18 Bathotywa ke oonyana bakaSirayeli ngelo xesha, bakhalipha oonyana bakaYuda; ngokuba bayama ngoYehova uThixo wooyise.
19 UAbhiya wamsukela uYarobheham, wathimba kuye le mizi: iBheteli namagxamesi ayo, neYeshana namagxamesi ayo, ne-Efron namagxamesi ayo.
20 Akaba saba namandla uYarobheham ngemihla ka-Abhiya. UYehova wambetha wafa.
21 Waya esomelela ngokomelela uAbhiya, wazeka abafazi abalishumi elinabané, wazala oonyana abamashumi mabini anababini, neentombi ezilishumi elinantandathu.
