Kwakukhona esikhaleni sesango abantu abane abanochoko; bathi omunye komunye: “Sihlaleleni lapha sizoze sife na? Uma sithi: ‘Siyakungena emzini,’ kunendlala emzini, siyakufela khona; uma sihlala lapha, siyakufa futhi. Ngalokho masihambe siye enkanjini yabase-Aramu; uma besiyeka, siyakuphila; uma besibulala, siyakufa.” Basuka kuhwalala, baya enkanjini yabase-Aramu; sebefike emaphethelweni enkambu yabase-Aramu, bafica kungekho muntu lapho. INkosi yenza ukuba impi yabase-Aramu izwe umsindo wezinqola, umsindo wamahhashi, nomsindo wempi enkulu baze bakhuluma bodwa, bathi: “Uyabona, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli iqashe amakhosi amaHithi namakhosi aseGibhithe ukuba eze kithi.” Basuka babaleka kuhwalala, bashiya amathende abo, amahhashi abo, izimbongolo zabo, nenkambu injengalokhu injalo, babaleka ukuze basinde. Kwathi labo abanochoko sebefikile emaphethelweni enkambu, bangena kwelinye ithende, badla, baphuza, bathatha lapho isiliva, igolide, nezingubo, bayokufihla; babuya, bangena kwelinye ithende, bathatha nalapho, base beyokuthukusa. Base bethi omunye komunye: “Asenzi kahle. Lolu lusuku lwanamuhla wusuku lwezindaba ezinhle, kodwa sithule nje silinde ukuba kuze kube sekuseni, siyakuthola isijeziso ngalokho, masihambe, sitshele indlu yenkosi.”

Uma sithi: ‘Siyakungena emzini,’ indlala isemzini, siyakufela khona; uma sihlezi lapha, siyakufa futhi. Ngalokho masihambe sisukele ikamu* lama-Aramu; uma esiyeka, siyakuphila; uma esibulala, siyakufa.” Basuka kuhwelela, baya ekamu* lama-Aramu; sebefike emaphethelweni ekamu lama-Aramu, bheka, kwakungekho muntu lapho. INkosi ibiyizwisile impi yama-Aramu umsindo wezinqola, nomsindo wamahhashi, nomsindo wempi enkulu aze akhuluma omunye komunye ngokuthi: “Bheka, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli isiqashele amakhosi amaHeti namakhosi aseGibithe ukuba asifikele.” Ayesesuka, abaleka kuhwelela, ashiya amatende awo, namahhashi awo, nezimbongolo zawo, nekamu* linjengalokhu linjalo, abaleka ukuba asinde. Labo abanochoko sebefike emaphethelweni ekamu,* bangena kwelinye itende, badla, baphuza, basusa khona isiliva, negolide, nezingubo, baya bakuthukusa; babuya, bangena kwelinye itende, basusa nakhona, baya bakuthukusa.

Lolu suku lwanamuhla lungusuku lwentokozo; uma sithula nje silinda kuze kube sekuntweleni kokusa, siyakuficwa yicala; ngalokho masihambe, sitshele indlu yenkosi.”

Uma sithi: ‘Siyakungena emzini, kuyakuba khona indlala emzini, sifele khona; uma sihlala lapha, siyakufa nathi.
