Kwakukhona esikhaleni sesango abantu abane abanochoko; bathi omunye komunye: “Sihlalelani lapha size sife na? Uma sithi: ‘Siyakungena emzini,’ indlala isemzini, siyakufela khona; uma sihlezi lapha, siyakufa futhi. Ngalokho masihambe sisukele ikamu* lama-Aramu; uma esiyeka, siyakuphila; uma esibulala, siyakufa.”
Basuka kuhwelela, baya ekamu* lama-Aramu; sebefike emaphethelweni ekamu lama-Aramu, bheka, kwakungekho muntu lapho. INkosi ibiyizwisile impi yama-Aramu umsindo wezinqola, nomsindo wamahhashi, nomsindo wempi enkulu aze akhuluma omunye komunye ngokuthi: “Bheka, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli isiqashele amakhosi amaHeti namakhosi aseGibithe ukuba asifikele.” Ayesesuka, abaleka kuhwelela, ashiya amatende awo, namahhashi awo, nezimbongolo zawo, nekamu* linjengalokhu linjalo, abaleka ukuba asinde.
Labo abanochoko sebefike emaphethelweni ekamu,* bangena kwelinye itende, badla, baphuza, basusa khona isiliva, negolide, nezingubo, baya bakuthukusa; babuya, bangena kwelinye itende, basusa nakhona, baya bakuthukusa.
Base bethi omunye komunye: “Asenzi kahle. Lolu suku lwanamuhla lungusuku lwentokozo; uma sithula nje silinda kuze kube sekuntweleni kokusa, siyakuficwa yicala; ngalokho masihambe, sitshele indlu yenkosi.”
