3 UJehova waqhubeka eloJehoshafathi ngoba wahamba ezindleleni zikakhokho wakhe uDavida+ njalo kazange akhonze oBhali. 4 Wamdinga uNkulunkulu kayise+ njalo walandela imilayo yakhe,* kazange alandele imikhuba eyayisenziwa ngabako-Israyeli.+

18 Lanxa uJehoshafathi wayenothe kakhulu futhi elodumo olukhulu,+ wenza isivumelwano lo-Ahabi+ ngokwendiselana laye.

4 UJehoshafathi waqhubeka ehlala eJerusalema. Waphinda waphuma wahambela abantu kusukela eBheri-shebha kuze kuyefika ezintabeni zako-Efrayimi+ ukuze abancede babuyele kuJehova uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo.+
