9 Wabona uYowabhi ukuba imfazwe ibheke kuye, ngaphambili nangasemva, wanyula emadodeni onke ahleliweyo kwaSirayeli, wákha uluhlu malunga nama-Aram.
10 Abanye abantu wabanikela esandleni sika-Abhishayi, umninawa wakhe, wabakha baluluhlu malunga noonyana baka-Amon.
11 Wathi, Ukuba ama-Aram athe andeyisa, wondisiza; ukuba bathe oonyana baka-Amon bakoyisa, ndoza kukusiza.
12 Yomelela, somelele ngenxa yabantu bakowethu, nangenxa yemizi yoThixo wethu; uYehova enze oko kulungileyo emehlweni akhe.
13 Weza uYowabhi nabantu ababenaye, walwa nama-Aram; asaba ebusweni bakhe.
14 Babona oonyana baka-Amon ukuba asabile ama-Aram, basaba nabo ebusweni buka-Abhishayi, bangena ekhaya. Wabuya ke uYowabhi koonyana baka-Amon, weza eYerusalem.
15 Abona ama-Aram ukuba agxothiwe phambi kwamaSirayeli, ahlanganisana ndawonye.
