Kwakanga kune chirikadzi zhinji pakati pavaIsiraeri pamazuva aEria, panguva yakazarirwa denga makore matatu nemwedzi mitanhatu, nzara huru ikavapo panyika yose; asi Eria haana kutumwa kune mumwe wavo, asi akatumwa Sarepita bedzi, munyika yeSidhoni, kumukadzi aiva chirikadzi. Kwakanga kuna vaiva namaperembudzi vazhinji pakati pavaIsiraeri pamazuva omuporofita Erisha; hakuna mumwe wavo akanatswa, asi Naamani bedzi, muSiria.” Ipapo vose vakanga vari musinagoge, vakatsamwa zvikuru, vachinzwa izvozvo, vakasimuka, vakamudzingira kunze kweguta, vakaenda naye kumawere egomo, pakanga pakavakwa guta ravo, kuti vamuwisire pasi.
