8 Ngemva kwalokho, u-Arhazi wathatha isiliva negolide elifunyenwe ngendlini kaJehova nangemabulungelweni wamagugu wendlu yekosi,* wafumbathisa ngazo ikosi ye-Asiriya.+ 9 Ikosi ye-Asiriya yasamukela isibawo sakhe, yakhuphukela eDamaseku, yayithumba, yathatha abantu bakhona yabasa ekudingisweni eKhiri,+ yabulala uRetsini.+

6 Ngomnyaka wethoba wokubusa kwakaHotjheya, ikosi ye-Asiriya yathumba iSamariya.+ Nje-ke yasa abantu bakwa-Israyeli ekudingisweni+ e-Asiriya beyabahlalisa eRhalarhi neRhabhori emlanjeni iGozani+ nemadorobheni wamaMede.+

24 Yeke ikosi ye-Asiriya yaletha abantu abavela eBhabhiloni, eKhutha, e-Ava, eRhamathi, neSefarivayimu+ yabahlalisa emadorobheni weSamariya esikhundleni sama-Israyeli; bathatha iSamariya begodu bahlala emadorobhenayo.
