15 Inkosi u-Ahazi yamyala u-Uriya umpristi ngokuthi: “Shisa e-altare elikhulu umnikelo wokushiswa wasekuseni, nomnikelo wempuphu wakusihlwa, nomnikelo wokushiswa wenkosi, nomnikelo wayo wempuphu kanye nomnikelo wokushiswa wabo bonke abantu bezwe, nomnikelo wabo wempuphu, neminikelo yabo yokuphuzwa, ulifafaze ngalo lonke igazi lomnikelo wokushiswa nalo lonke igazi lomhlatshelo; kodwa i-altare lethusi liyakuba ngelami ukubuza ngalo.”
16 U-Uriya umpristi wenza njengakho konke inkosi u-Ahazi eyale ngakho.
17 Inkosi u-Ahazi yanquma izindini zezinqe, yasusa kuzo umcengezi wokugeza, yehlisa ulwandle ezinkabini zethusi ezaziphansi kwawo, yawubeka endaweni egandayiwe ngamatshe.
18 Indlela esibekelweyo yesabatha ababeyakhe endlini nendawo yokungena yenkosi engaphandle yakuphambukisela endlini kaJehova ngenxa yenkosi yase-Asiriya.
19 Ezinye izindaba zika-Ahazi azenzayo angithi zilotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwaJuda na?
20 U-Ahazi wayeselala koyise, wembelwa koyise emzini kaDavide; uHezekiya indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
