22 UHazayeli inkosi yase-Aramu wayecindezele u-Israyeli zonke izinsuku zikaJehowahazi.
23 Kodwa uJehova wayenomusa kubo, wayenesihe kubo, wabanakekela ngenxa yesivumelwano sakhe no-Abrahama no-Isaka noJakobe, akathandanga ukubachitha, futhi wayengakabalahli ebusweni bakhe.
24 UHazayeli inkosi yase-Aramu wafa; uBeni Hadadi indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
25 UJehowashi indodana kaJehowahazi wabuye waphuca esandleni sikaBeni Hadadi indodana kaHazayeli leyo mizi ayaphucile esandleni sikaJehowahazi uyise ngokulwa. UJowashi wamahlula kathathu, wabuyisa imizi yakwa-Israyeli.
