15 Esesukile khona wafumana uJehonadaba indodana kaRekabi eza ukumhlangabeza; wambingelela, wathi kuye: “Inhliziyo yakho ilungelene nenhliziyo yami njengeyami ilungelene neyakho na?”Wathi uJehonadaba: “Yebo.”Wathi uJehu: “Uma kunjalo, nginike isandla sakho.” Wamnika isandla sakhe, wamkhwelisa enqoleni yakhe.
16 Wayesethi: “Hamba nami, ubone ukushisekela kwami uJehova.” Base bemkhwelisa enqoleni yakhe.
17 Esefike eSamariya wabulala bonke abaseleyo baka-Ahabi eSamariya, waze wamqeda njengezwi likaJehova alikhuluma ku-Eliya.
18 UJehu wabutha bonke abantu, wathi kubo: “U-Ahabi wamkhonza uBali kancane, kepha uJehu uyakumkhonza kakhulu.
19 Ngalokho ngibizele bonke abaprofethi bakaBali, zonke izinceku zakhe, nabo bonke abapristi bakhe, kungasali muntu, ngokuba nginomhlatshelo omkhulu kuBali; bonke abafunyaniswa bengekho abayikuphila.” Kepha uJehu wakwenza ngobuqili ukuba abhubhise izinceku zikaBali.
20 Wayesethi uJehu: “Mngcweliseleni uBali umhlangano womkhosi.” Bawumemezela-ke.
21 UJehu wathumela ku-Israyeli wonke; zonke izinceku zikaBali zafika, akwaze kwasala muntu ongafikanga; zangena endlini kaBali, indlu kaBali yagcwala yathi swi, kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekugcineni.
