9 Kwathi ekuseni waphuma, wema, wathi kubantu bonke: “Nina nilungile; bhekani, mina ngenzele inkosi yami ugobe, ngayibulala, kepha ngubani ogence bonke laba na?
10 Qaphelani manje ukuthi akuyikuwela phansi lutho lwezwi likaJehova alikhulumayo uJehova ngendlu ka-Ahabi; uJehova wenzile lokho akukhulumayo ngesandla senceku yakhe u-Eliya.”
11 UJehu wayesebulala bonke abaseleyo bendlu ka-Ahabi eJizreyeli, nabo bonke abakhulu bakhe, nabazana naye, nabapristi bakhe, waze wangamshiyela noyedwa owasalayo.
12 Wayesesuka, wahamba waya eSamariya; kwathi esendlini yokugunda kwabelusi endleleni,
13 uJehu wafumana abafowabo baka-Ahaziya inkosi yakwaJuda, wathi: “Nina ningobani na?”Bathi: “Singabafowabo baka-Ahaziya; siyehla ukubingelela abantwana benkosi nabantwana benkosikazi.”
14 Wathi: “Babambeni besaphila.” Babathatha besaphila, bababulala ngasemgodini wendlu yokugunda, abantu abangamashumi amane nambili; kashiyanga muntu kubo.
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.
