15 kepha inkosi uJoramu yayibuyele eJizreyeli ukuba yelashwe emanxebeni ayo eyayilinyazwe wona ngama-Aramu ekulweni kwayo noHazayeli, inkosi yase-Aramu, uJehu wathi: “Uma kungumqondo wenu lokhu, makungabaleki muntu, aphume emzini, aye ukubika eJizreyeli.”
16 UJehu wayesekhwela inqola, waya eJizreyeli, ngokuba uJoramu wayelele lapho. U-Ahaziya, inkosi yakwaJuda, wayehlele ukumbona uJoramu.
17 Umlindi owayemi embhoshongweni waseJizreyeli wabona iviyo likaJehu lisafika, wathi: “Ngibona iviyo.”UJoramu wathi: “Zithathele owehhashi umthume ukubahlangabeza ngokuthi: ‘Kusahleziwe kahle na?’ ”
18 Owehhashi wayesehamba ukumhlangabeza, wathi: “Isho kanje inkosi, ithi: ‘Kusahleziwe kahle na?’ ”UJehu wathi: “Unandabani nokuhlala kahle na? Buyela emva kwami.”Wayesebika umlindi, ethi: “Isithunywa safika kubo, kepha asibuyanga.”
19 Wayesethuma owehhashi wesibili owaya kubo, wathi: “Isho kanje inkosi, ithi: ‘Kusahleziwe kahle na?’ ”Wathi uJehu: “Unandabani nokuhlala kahle na? Buyela emva kwami.”
20 Umlindi wabika wathi: “Sifikile kubo, kepha asibuyi; ukuqhuba kufana nokuqhuba kukaJehu indodana kaNimishi; ngokuba uqhuba kungathi uyahlanya.”
21 Wayesethi uJoramu: “Bophela.” Babophela-ke inqola yakhe. UJoramu inkosi yakwa-Israyeli no-Ahaziya inkosi yakwaJuda baphuma, kwaba yilowo nalowo ngenqola yakhe, baphuma ukumhlangabeza uJehu, bamfumana esiqeshini sezwe likaNaboti waseJizreyeli.
