1 AmaKhosi 16:29-34

U-Ahabi, indodana ka-Omri, waqala ukubusa phezu kuka-Israyeli ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu nesishiyagalombili ka-Asa; u-Ahabi, indodana ka-Omri, wabusa phezu kuka-Israyeli eSamariya iminyaka engamashumi amabili nambili. Kepha u-Ahabi, indodana ka-Omri, wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova kunabo bonke ababe ngaphambi kwakhe. Kwathi lapho kuyinto elula kuye ukuhamba ezonweni zikaJerobowamu, indodana kaNebati, wathatha u-Izebeli, indodakazi ka-Etibali inkosi yamaSidoni, abe ngumkakhe, waya wakhonza uBali, wakhuleka kuye. Wammisela uBali i-altare endlini kaBali abeyakhile eSamariya. U-Ahabi wamenza u-Ashera;* u-Ahabi wenezela waze wacunula uJehova, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, kunawo onke amakhosi akwa-Israyeli ayengaphambi kwakhe. Ezinsukwini zakhe uHiyeli waseBethele wabuye wakha iJeriko; wabeka isisekelo salo ngokulahlekelwa ngu-Abiramu izibulo lakhe, wamisa amasango alo ngokulahlekelwa yithunjana lakhe uSegubi, njengezwi likaJehova owalikhuluma ngesandla sikaJoshuwa indodana kaNuni.
