Ukufa kuka-Asa
1Ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu nesithupha wokubusa kuka-Asa, uBahasha, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, wenyuka wamelana noJuda, wakha iRama, ukuze angavumeli muntu ukuba aphume noma angene no-Asa inkosi yakwaJuda.
2U-Asa wayesekhipha isiliva negolide engcebeni yendlu kaJehova nendlu yenkosi, wathumela kuBeni Hadadi inkosi yase-Aramu owayehlala eDamaseku, ethi:
3Kukhona isivumelwano phakathi kwami nawe, njengoba sasikhona phakathi kukababa noyihlo; bheka, ngiyakuthuma isiliva negolide; hamba, waphule isivumelwano sakho noBahasha, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, ukuze asuke kimi.
4UBenihadadi wayilalela inkosi u-Asa, wathuma izinduna zempi yakhe ukuba zihlasele imizi yakwa-Israyeli; banqoba i-Ijoni, neDani, ne-Abela-Mayimi, nayo yonke imizi yemizi yakwaNafetali.
5UBhesha esezwile lokho wayeka ukwakha iRama, wawuyeka umsebenzi wakhe.
6Inkosi u-Asa yathatha wonke uJuda; basusa amatshe eRama nezinkuni zayo uBahesha akha ngakho; wakha ngayo iGeba neMispa.
7Ngaleso sikhathi uHanani umboni weza ku-Asa inkosi yakwaJuda, wathi kuye: “Ngokuba wencika enkosini yase-Aramu, ungathembelanga kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, ngalokho impi yenkosi yase-Aramu yaphunyuka esandleni sakho isandla sakho.
8AmaKushe namaLubi ayengelona yini ibutho elikhulu, elinezinqola eziningi nabamahhashi? kodwa ngenxa yokuthi wethembele kuJehova, wawanikela esandleni sakho.
9Ngokuba amehlo kaJehova aqalaza emhlabeni wonke ukuba abe namandla ngenxa yalabo abanhliziyo yabo iphelele kuye. Kulokhu nenze ubuwula; ngalokho niyakuba nezimpi kusukela manje kuqhubeke.
10U-Asa wayesemthukuthelela umboni, wamfaka etilongweni; ngoba wayemthukuthelele ngale ndaba. U-Asa wacindezela abanye abantu ngaleso sikhathi.
11Bheka, izindaba zika-Asa, ezokuqala nezokugcina, bheka, zilotshiwe encwadini yamakhosi akwaJuda nakwa-Israyeli.
12U-Asa wagula ezinyaweni zakhe ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu nesishiyagalolunye wokubusa kwakhe, isifo sakhe saba sikhulu kakhulu; kepha ekuguleni kwakhe akafunanga uJehova, kepha izinyanga.
13U-Asa wayeselala koyise, wafa ngomnyaka wamashumi amane nanye wokubusa kwakhe.
14Bammbela emathuneni akhe ayemenzele wona emzini kaDavide, bamlalisa embhedeni ogcwele iziqholo nezinhlobo zonke zamakha alungiselwe ubuciko babathaki; futhi bamenzela umlilo omkhulu kakhulu.
