11 Abalindisango bamemeza, babikela indlu yenkosi ngaphakathi.
12 Inkosi yavuka phakathi kobusuku, yathi ezincekwini zayo: “Ake nginitshele lokhu ama-Aramu asenzela khona. Ayazi ukuthi silambile; ngalokho aphumile ekamu* ukuba acashe, ethi: ‘Lapho bephuma emzini, siyakubabamba besezwa, singene emzini.’ ”
13 Enye yezinceku zayo yaphendula yathi: “Makuthathwe amahhashi ayisihlanu aseleyo, asele lapha bheka, anjengesixuku sonke sakwa-Israyeli esisele lapha, anjengesixuku sonke sakwa-Israyeli esesiphelile sithumele, sibone.”
14 Bathatha izinqola ezimbili namahhashi; inkosi yathumela emva kwempi yama-Aramu ngokuthi: “Hambani nibone.”
15 Bawalandela baze bafika eJordani; bheka, yonke indlela yayigcwele izingubo nezimpahla ama-Aramu ayezilahlile ekubalekeni kwawo. Izithunywa zabuya, zayitshela inkosi.
16 Abantu baphuma, baphanga ikamu* lama-Aramu. Iseya* lempuphu ecolekileyo lathengiswa ngeshekeli,* namaseya amabili ebhali* ngeshekeli njengezwi likaJehova.
17 Inkosi yabeka esangweni induna eyencika esandleni sayo; abantu bayinyathela esangweni, yafa njengokusho kwalowo muntu kaNkulunkulu akukhuluma ekwehleleni kwenkosi kuye.
