2 IziKronike 17:1-6

UJehoshafati indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe, wamqinisa ngokumelene no-Israyeli. Wamisa impi emizini yonke ebiyelweyo yakwaJuda, wamisa amakhanda ezweni lakwaJuda nasemizini yakwa-Efrayimi u-Asa uyise ayithathileyo. UJehova wayenaye uJehoshafati, ngokuba wahamba ngezindlela zokuqala zikayise uDavide, akabafunanga oBali; kepha wafuna uJehova uNkulunkulu kayise, wahamba ngemiyalo yakhe, kungenjengokwenza kuka-Israyeli. Ngakho uJehova wawuqinisa umbuso esandleni sakhe; wonke uJuda waletha izipho kuJehoshafati; wayenengcebo nodumo ngokuchichimayo. Inhliziyo yakhe yathokoza ngezindlela zikaJehova, wasusa izindawo eziphakemeyo nemithi engcwele kwaJuda.
