Mukumbirireiwo umambo+ (nokuti iye mukoma wangu, mukuru kwandiri),+ iye nomupristi Abhiyatari+ naJoabhi+ mwanakomana waZeruya.”+

23 Mambo Soromoni akapika naJehovha, achiti: “Mwari ngaandiitire saizvozvo, uye ngaawedzere pazviri,+ kana Adhonija asina kutaura chinhu ichi kuti arasikirwe nomweya wake.+ 24 Zvino, naJehovha mupenyu+ uyo andisimbisa kwazvo,+ anoita kuti ndirambe ndakagara pachigaro choumambo chababa vangu Dhavhidhi+ uye akandivakira imba+ sezvaakataura,+ nhasi Adhonija achaurayiwa.”+ 25 Mambo Soromoni akabva atuma Bhenaya+ mwanakomana waJehoyadha; uye akamurwisa, zvokuti iye akafa.+

Ndichafira pano.”+ Bhenaya akadzoka neshoko kuna mambo, achiti: “Izvi ndizvo zvataurwa naJoabhi, uye izvi ndizvo zvaandipindura.” 31 Mambo akabva ati kwaari: “Ita sezvaataura, umurwise; umuvige, ubvise pandiri nepaimba yababa vangu ropa+ raisafanira kuteurwa, rakateurwa naJoabhi.+ 32 Jehovha achadzosa ropa rake pamusoro wake,+ nokuti akarwisa varume vaviri vakarurama, vaiva nani kumupfuura,+ vanoti Abhineri+ mwanakomana waNeri mukuru weuto raIsraeri+ naAmasa+ mwanakomana waJeteri mukuru weuto raJudha,+ akavauraya nebakatwa, baba vangu Dhavhidhi vasingazvizivi.+ 33 Ropa ravo richadzoka pamusoro waJoabhi nepamisoro yevana vake nokusingagumi;+ asi kuna Dhavhidhi+ nokuvana vake nokuimba yake nokuchigaro chake choumambo kuchava norugare runobva kuna Jehovha nokusingagumi.”+ 34 Bhenaya mwanakomana waJehoyadha akabva aenda,+ akamurwisa, akamuuraya;+ uye akavigwa paimba yake yaiva murenje. 35 Ipapo mambo akaisa Bhenaya+ mwanakomana waJehoyadha panzvimbo pake kuti atarisire uto;+ uye mambo akaisa mupristi Zadhoki panzvimbo yaAbhiyatari.+

36 Mambo akazotuma shoko, akashevedza Shimei,+ akati kwaari: “Vaka imba muJerusarema, ugaremo uye usabudamo uchienda kunzvimbo iyi neiyo. 37 Pazuva raunobuda nepaunoyambuka mupata une rukova weKidroni,+ ziva kuti chokwadi uchafa.+ Mhosva yeropa rako ichauya pamusoro wako.”+ 38 Shimei akati kuna mambo: “Shoko racho rakanaka.
