Vakatiza vakananga kuArabha, asi hondo yavaBhabhironi yakadzinganisa mambo ikamubatira mumapani eJeriko. Varwi vake vose vakaparadzaniswa naye vakapararira. Akabatwa akaendeswa kuna mambo weBhabhironi paRibhira, kwaakandotongwa. Vakauraya vanakomana vaZedhekia pamberi pake achizviona.

Pazuva rechinomwe romwedzi wechishanu, mugore regumi nepfumbamwe raNebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi, Nebhuzaradhani mukuru wehondo yavachengeti vamambo, muranda wamambo weBhabhironi, akauya kuJerusarema.
