7 Ngalesosikhathi uSolomoni wakha indawo ephakemeyo+ entabeni ephambi kweJerusalema, esakhela uKhemoshi unkulunkulu wamaMowabi owenyanyekayo. Wakhela loMolekhi+ unkulunkulu wama-Amoni owenyanyekayo+ indawo ephakemeyo.

22 Abantu bakoJuda babesenza okubi phambi kukaJehova+ futhi bamthukuthelisa ngezono zabo ukwedlula lokho okwenziwa ngokhokho babo.+ 23 Baqhubeka bezakhela indawo eziphakemeyo* lensika ababezikhonza kanye lezithombe zika-Ashera*+ ababezifaka kuwo wonke amaqaqa aphakemeyo+ langaphansi kwezihlahla zonke eziyizithingithingi.+
