1Ngomnyaka wamashumi amabili nesikhombisa kaJerobowamu inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, u-Azariya indodana ka-Amasiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, waba yinkosi.
2Wayeleminyaka elitshumi lesithupha lapho esiba yinkosi, wabusa iminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu lambili eJerusalema. Igama likanina lalinguJoliya waseJerusalema.
3Wenza okulungile emehlweni kaJehova njengalokho enzile uyise u-Amasiya;
4ngaphandle kokuthi izindawo eziphakemeyo azisuswanga; abantu babesahlaba ezindaweni eziphakemeyo, benyusa impepho.
5UJehova wayishaya inkosi, yaba onochoko kwaze kwaba lusuku lokufa kwayo, yahlala kwenye indlu. UJothamu, indodana yenkosi, wayephezu kwendlu, wahlulela abantu bezwe.
6Ezinye izindaba zika-Azariya nakho konke akwenzayo angithi kulotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwaJuda na?
7U-Azariya wayeselala koyise; bammbela koyise emzini kaDavide; uJothamu indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
8Ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu nesishiyagalombili ka-Azariya inkosi yakwaJuda uZakariya indodana kaJerobowamu wabusa kwa-Israyeli eSamariya izinyanga eziyisithupha.

11Ezinye izindaba zikaZakariya, bheka, zilotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli.
12Leli yizwi likaJehova alikhuluma kuJehu ngokuthi: “Amadodana akho ayakuhlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sika-Israyeli kuze kube isizukulwane sesine. Futhi kwenzeka.
13UShalumi indodana kaJabeshi waba yinkosi ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu nesishiyagalolunye ka-Uziya inkosi yakwaJuda; wabusa inyanga yonke eSamariya.
14UMenahemu indodana kaGadi wakhuphuka eTirisa, weza eSamariya, wanqoba uShalumi indodana kaJabeshi eSamariya, wambulala, waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
15Ezinye izindaba zikaShalumi nogobe lwakhe alwenzayo, bheka, kulotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli.
16UMenahemu wayeseyichitha iThifsa nakho konke okwakukulo, nomkhawulo wayo kusukela eTirisa; ngenxa yokuthi abamvulelanga, ngakho wabanqoba; futhi bonke abakhulelweyo ababekulo wabadabula.
17Ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu nesishiyagalolunye ka-Azariya inkosi yakwaJuda uMenahemu indodana kaGadi waba yinkosi phezu kuka-Israyeli, wabusa eSamariya iminyaka eyishumi.
18Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova, kasukanga ezonweni zikaJerobowamu indodana kaNebati onisa ngazo u-Israyeli zonke izinsuku zakhe.
19UPhuli inkosi yase-Asiriya walihlasela izwe, uMenahemu wamnika uPhuli amathalenta ayinkulungwane esiliva ukuba isandla sakhe sibe naye ukuqinisa ubukhosi esandleni sakhe.
20UMenahemu wabiza imali yakwa-Israyeli kuwo onke amaqhawe anamandla, kwaba yilowo nalowo amashekeli angamashumi ayisihlanu esiliva ukuwanika inkosi yase-Asiriya. Khona-ke inkosi yase-Asiriya yabuya futhi ayizange ihlale lapho ezweni.
21Ezinye izindaba zikaMenahemu nakho konke akwenzayo angithi kulotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli na?
22UMenahemu wayeselala koyise; uPheka indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
23Ngomnyaka wamashumi amahlanu ka-Azariya inkosi yakwaJuda uPhekaya indodana kaMenahemu waba yinkosi kwa-Israyeli eSamariya, wabusa iminyaka emibili.
24Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova; akasukanga ezonweni zikaJerobowamu, indodana kaNebati, onisa ngazo u-Israyeli.
25Kodwa uPheka, indodana kaRemaliya, induna yakhe, wamenzela ugobe, wamshaya eSamariya enqabeni yendlu yenkosi, kanye no-Argobi no-Ari, enamadoda angamashumi ayisihlanu akwaGileyadi; wambulala, waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
26Ezinye izindaba zikaPhekaya nakho konke akwenzayo, bheka, kulotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli.
27Ngomnyaka wamashumi amahlanu nambili ka-Azariya inkosi yakwaJuda, uPheka indodana kaRemaliya waba yinkosi kwa-Israyeli eSamariya, wabusa iminyaka engamashumi amabili.
28Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova; akasukanga ezonweni zikaJerobowamu, indodana kaNebati, onisa ngazo u-Israyeli.
29Ezinsukwini zikaPheka inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, uThigilati-Phileseri inkosi yase-Asiriya wafika wathatha i-Ijoni ne-Abela Beti-maga neJanowa neKedeshi neHazori neGileyadi neGalile, lonke izwe lakwaNafetali, futhi bathatha i-Ijoni. Wayiswa ekudingisweni e-Asiriya.
30UHoseya, indodana ka-Ela, wamenzela ugobe uPheka, indodana kaRemaliya, wamehlula, wambulala, wabusa esikhundleni sakhe ngomnyaka wamashumi amabili kaJothamu indodana ka-Uziya.
31Ezinye izindaba zikaPheka nakho konke akwenzayo, bheka, kulotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli.

35Kodwa izindawo eziphakemeyo azisuswanga; abantu babesahlaba ezindaweni eziphakemeyo, bashunqa umusi. Wakha isango eliphezulu lendlu kaJehova.
36Ezinye izindaba zikaJothamu nakho konke akwenzayo angithi kulotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwaJuda na?
37Ngalezo zinsuku uJehova waqala ukuthumela uResini inkosi yase-Aramu noPheka indodana kaRemaliya ngokumelene noJuda.
38UJothamu wayeselala koyise, wembelwa koyise emzini kaDavide uyise; u-Ahazi indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
