15 Base bemdedela nxazombili, waya ekungeneni kwesango lamahhashi endlini yenkosi; bambulala khona.
16 UJehoyada wenza isivumelwano phakathi kwakhe nabantu bonke nenkosi ukuba babe ngabantu bakaJehova.
17 Bonke abantu baya endlini kaBali, bayibhidliza, baphahlaza ama-altare akhe nezithombe zakhe, babulala uMathani umpristi kaBali phambi kwama-altare.
18 UJehoyada wamisa ababonisi bendlu kaJehova ngesandla sabapristi bamaLevi uDavide abahlukanisile endlini kaJehova bokunikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa kuJehova njengokulotshiweyo emthethweni kaMose, ngentokozo nangokuhlabelela, njengokuhlela kukaDavide.
19 Wamisa abalindisango emasangweni endlu kaJehova ukuba kungangeni ongcolile noma ngantoni.
20 Wazithatha izinduna zamakhulu, nabakhulu, nababusi babantu, nabo bonke abantu bezwe, wayehlisa inkosi endlini kaJehova, bafika ngesango lasenhla endlini yenkosi, bayibeka inkosi esihlalweni sobukhosi sombuso.
21 Bonke abantu bezwe bathokoza; umuzi wazola; bambulala u-Athaliya ngenkemba.
