17 Bacandisa oonyana babo neentombi zabo emlilweni, bavumisa, bahlaba izihlabo, bazithengisela ukwenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova, ukuba bamqumbise.
18 UYehova waba nomsindo omkhulu kunene kumaSirayeli, wawasusa ebusweni bakhe, yaba sisizwe sakwaYuda sodwa esasalayo.
19 KwanamaYuda akayigcinanga imithetho kaYehova uThixo wawo; ahamba ngemimiselo yamaSirayeli abeyenzile.
20 Wayilahla ke uYehova yonke imbewu yakwaSirayeli, wabacinezela, wabanikela esandleni sabaphangi, wada wabagxotha ebusweni bakhe.
21 Ngokuba wawakrazula amaSirayeli endlwini kaDavide; aza amenza ukumkani uYarobheham unyana kaNebhati. UYarobheham wawawexula amaSirayeli ekumlandeleni uYehova, wawonisa ngesono esikhulu.
22 Bahamba oonyana bakaSirayeli ezonweni zonke zikaYarobheham awazenzayo àbatyeka kuzo,
23 wada uYehova wawasusa amaSirayeli ebusweni bakhe, njengoko wakuthethayo ngabakhonzi bakhe bonke, abaprofeti. Afuduswa ke amaSirayeli emhlabeni wawo, asiwa eAsiriya, unanamhla.
