26 Ngokuba wahamba ezindleleni zonke zikaJerobowamu, indodana kaNebati, nasezonweni zakhe onisa ngazo u-Israyeli, baze bacunula uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ngezithombe zabo.
27 Ezinye izindaba zika-Omri azenzayo namandla awabonakalisayo angithi kulotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli na?
