wathi: “Yizwani nina nonke bakwaJuda, zakhamuzi zaseJerusalema, nawe nkosi Jehoshafathi: usho kanje kini uSimakade, uthi: ‘Ningesabi, ningapheli amandla ngenxa yalesi sixuku esikhulu, ngokuba impi ayisiyo eyenu, ingekaNkulunkulu. Kusasa yehlelani kubo; bayobe bekhuphuka ngommango waseZizi; niyakubafumana ekugcineni kwesigodi, phambi kwehlane eJeruweli. Akusikho okwenu ukulwa kule mpi; zihleleni, nime, nibone ukunqoba kukaSimakade, nina Juda neJerusalema; ningesabi, ningapheli amandla; phumelani kubo kusasa, ngokuba uSimakade uzakuba nani.’ ”
UJehoshafathi wayesekhothama, wathi mbo ngobuso emhlabathini. UJuda wonke nezakhamuzi zaseJerusalema bakhothama phambi kukaSimakade, bakhuleka kuSimakade. AbaLevi, abozalo lwamaKhohathi nolwamaKhorahi, basukuma badumisa uSimakade uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ngezwi elikhulu kakhulu.
Bavuka ekuseni, baphuma baya ehlane eThekhowa. Ngesikhathi bephuma, uJehoshafathi wasukuma, wathi: “Ngilaleleni, Juda nani zakhamuzi zaseJerusalema! Methembeni uSimakade uNkulunkulu wenu, niyakuqiniswa. Bethembeni abaphrofethi bakhe, niyakuphumelela.”
Eselulekene nabantu, wabeka abayakuhlabelela kuSimakade bevunule ngobungcwele, behamba phambi kwamabutho, bethi: “Bongani uSimakade, ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade.”
Kwathi ukuba baqale ukuhalalisa nokudumisa, uSimakade wababekela abazobalalela unyendle abakwa-Amoni, abakwa-Mowabi, nabasentabeni iSeyiri ababephumele ukumelana noJuda, banqotshwa bonke.
