2 IziKronike 17:7-19

Ngomnyaka wesithathu wokubusa kwakhe wathumela ezikhulwini zakhe, oBeni-hayili, no-Obadiya, noZakariya, noNethaneli, noMikaya, ukufundisa emizini yakwaJuda. Wathuma kanye nabo amaLevi, oShemaya, noNethaniya, noZebadiya, no-Asaheli, noShemiramoti, noJonathani, no-Adoniya, noThobiya, noThobadoniya, amaLevi; kanye nabo o-Elishama noJoramu, abapristi. Bafundisa kwaJuda, benencwadi yomthetho kaJehova, badabula imizi yakwaJuda, bafundisa abantu. Ukwesaba uJehova kwehlela yonke imibuso yamazwe ahanqe uJuda, kangangokuthi ayizange ilwe noJehoshafati. Nabanye bamaFilisti baletha izipho nemali yentela kuJehoshafati; ama-Arabhu aletha kuye imihlambi, izinqama eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa namakhulu ayisikhombisa nezimbuzi eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa namakhulu ayisikhombisa. UJehoshafati waba mkhulu kakhulu; wakha izinqaba nemizi yengcebo kwaJuda. Wayenezindaba eziningi emizini yakwaJuda, namadoda empi, amaqhawe anamandla, eJerusalema. Lezi ziyizibalo zabo ngokwezindlu zoyise: kwaJuda: izikhulu phezu kwenkulungwane; u-Adna inhloko, kanye naye amaqhawe anamandla ayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu. Eceleni kwakhe kwakunguJohanani inhloko, kanye naye izinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili namashumi ayisishiyagalombili. Eceleni kwakhe kwakungu-Amasiya indodana kaSigri, owazinikela ngokuzithandela kuJehova; kanye naye amaqhawe anamandla ayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili. LakwaBenjamini; u-Elijada, iqhawe elinamandla, kanye naye abahlome iminsalo nesihlangu abayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili. Eceleni kwakhe kwakukhona uJozabadi, futhi kanye naye abayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi ayisishiyagalombili abahlomele impi. Bakhonza inkosi, ngaphandle kwalabo inkosi eyayibabekile emizini ebiyelweyo kulo lonke elakwaJuda.
