11 Yikho abako-Israyeli benza okubi phambi kukaJehova,* bakhonza oBhali.+

6 Abako-Israyeli baphinda benza okubi phambi kukaJehova*+ baqalisa ukukhonza oBhali+ lezithombe zika-Ashithorethi labonkulunkulu be-Aramu,* labeSidoni, labamaMowabi,+ labama-Amoni+ kanye labamaFilisti. Bamtshiya uJehova bayekela ukumkhonza.+

19 Yikho ngibizelani bonke abaphrofethi bakaBhali+ labo bonke abantu abamkhonzayo kanye labaphristi bakhe bonke.+ Kungabi loyedwa wabo ozayekela ukubuya ngoba ngifuna ukwenzela uBhali umhlatshelo omkhulu. Loba ngubani ongasoze abuye uzabulawa.” Kodwa uJehu wayebaqila ngoba wayefuna ukubulala abantu ababekhonza uBhali.

16 Baqhubeka bephambuka kuyo yonke imilayo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wabo. Benza amathole amabili ngensimbi,+ benza lesithombe sika-Ashera,*+ bakhonza uBhali+ futhi bakhothamela lonke ibutho elisemazulwini.*+
