22 Yeke ngesikhathi iKosi u-Arhazi igandelelekile, yathuwelela ngokungathembeki kuJehova. 23 Yathoma ukwenza imihlatjelo kibozimu beDamaseku+ abamhlulileko+ bese yathi: “Ngombana abozimu bamakhosi weSiriya bayabasiza, nje-ke nami ngizakwenza umhlatjelo kibo bona bangisize.”+ Kodwana lokho kwalimaza yona nabo boke abantu bakwa-Israyeli.

25 Begodu kiwo woke amadorobho wakwaJuda, wenza iindawo eziphakemeko, bona kuthunyiselwe abanye abozimu intuthu yomhlatjelo.+ Wasilinga uJehova uZimu wabokhokho bakhe.
