1 AmaKhosi 17:1-4

U-Eliya waseThishibi, owayengowabagogobeleyo kwaGileyadi, wathi ku-Ahabi: “Kuphila kukaJehova, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, engimi phambi kwakhe, akuyikubakho mazolo namvula kule minyaka, kuphela ngesiyalezo sezwi lami.” Izwi likaJehova lafika kuye, lathi: “Suka lapha, uye ngasempumalanga, ucashe ngasemfudlaneni iKeriti ongaphambi kweJordani. Kuyakuthi uphuze emfudlaneni; ngiyalile amagwababa ukuba akondle khona.”
