20 UMenahemu wakhiphisa u-Israyeli imali, bonke abantu abacebileyo, kwaba yilowo nalowo amashekeli* angamashumi ayisihlanu esiliva ukuwanika inkosi yase-Asiriya. Yayisibuyela emuva inkosi yase-Asiriya, ayihlalanga khona ezweni.
21 Ezinye izindaba zikaMenahemu nakho konke akwenzayo angithi kulotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli na?
22 UMenahemu wayeselala koyise; uPhekaya waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
23 Ngomnyaka wamashumi ayisihlanu ka-Azariya inkosi yakwaJuda, uPhekaya, indodana kaMenahemu, waba yinkosi kwa-Israyeli eSamariya, wabusa iminyaka emibili.
24 Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova, kasukanga ezonweni zikaJerobowamu indodana kaNebati onisa ngazo u-Israyeli.
25 UPheka, indodana kaRemaliya, induna yakhe wamenzela ugobe, wamgenca eSamariya enqabeni yendlu yenkosi kanye no-Arigobi no-Ariye; wayenabantu bakwaGileyadi abangamashumi ayisihlanu; wambulala, waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
26 Ezinye izindaba zikaPhekaya nakho konke akwenzayo, bheka, kulotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli.
