Esezwile lokho wasuka, wahamba ukuba asinde, waya eBeri Sheba elingelakwaJuda, washiya khona inceku yakhe. Kodwa yena wahamba ibanga losuku ehlane, waya wahlala phansi konwele, wacela enhliziyweni yakhe ukuba afe, wathi: “Sekwanele; manje, Jehova, sale usuthatha umphefumulo wami, ngokuba angilungile kunawobaba.” Walala ubuthongo phansi konwele; bheka, kwamthinta ingelosi, yathi kuye: “Vuka udle.” Wabheka, nanto iqebelengwane ngasekhanda lakhe elenziwe ematsheni ashisayo, nophiso lwamanzi. Wadla, waphuza; wayesebuye walala phansi. Ingelosi kaJehova yabuye yamthinta ngokwesibili, yathi: “Vuka udle, ngokuba indlela yakho inde.” Wavuka, wadla, waphuza, wahamba ngamandla alokho kudla izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane, waya entabeni kaNkulunkulu iHorebe. Wangena khona emhumeni, walala khona. Bheka, kwafika kuye izwi likaJehova; wathi kuye: “Wenzani lapha, Eliya, na?” Wathi: “Ngishisekele nokushisekela uJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti, ngokuba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli balahlile isivumelwano sakho, badilizile ama-altare akho, babulele abaprofethi bakho ngenkemba, kusele mina ngedwa; sebefuna umphefumulo wami ukuba bawususe.” Wathi: “Phuma, ume entabeni phambi kukaJehova.” Bheka, uJehova wadlula, umoya omkhulu onamandla wadabula izintaba, waphahlaza amadwala phambi kukaJehova; kepha uJehova wayengekho emoyeni; emva komoya kwazamazama umhlaba; kepha uJehova wayengekho ekuzamazameni komhlaba; emva kokuzamazama komhlaba ngumlilo; kepha uJehova wayengekho emlilweni; emva komlilo yizwi elincane elihashazayo.

Sale usuwuthatha umphefumulo wami, ngokuba angilungile kunokhokho bami.” Wabeka uhlangothi phansi walala ubuthongo phansi konwele; wezwa ingelosi imthinta, yathi kuye: “Vuka udle.” Wayesevuka; bheka, nanto iqebelengwane ngasekhanda lakhe, elalenziwe ematsheni ashisayo, nophiso lwamanzi. Wadla, waphuza; wabuye walala phansi. Ingelosi kaSimakade yabuya okwesibili, yamthinta, yathi kuye: “Vuka udle, ngokuba indlela yakho inde.” Wavuka, wadla waphuza, wahamba ngamandla alokho kudla izinsuku ezingama-40 nobusuku obungama-40, waya entabeni kaNkulunkulu, iHorebhe.

Emva komoya kwazamazama umhlaba, kodwa wayengekho uSimakade ekuzamazameni komhlaba. Emva kokuzamazama komhlaba, kwaba khona umlilo, kodwa wayengekho uSimakade emlilweni.
