Enda uite saizvozvo.’ 23 Jehovha aisa mweya unonyengera mumiromo yevaprofita venyu vese ava,+ asi Jehovha ataura nezvedambudziko pamusoro penyu.”+
24 Zedhekiya mwanakomana waKenaana akabva aswedera pedyo, akarova Mikaya padama akati: “Zvakatanga riini kuti mweya waJehovha unondipfuura uchienda kunotaura newe?”+ 25 Mikaya akapindura kuti: “Uchaziva kuti zvakatanga riini pazuva rauchapinda muimba yemukatikati kuti uhwande.” 26 Mambo weIsraeri akabva ati: “Tora Mikaya umuendese kuna Amone mukuru weguta nekuna Joashi mwanakomana wamambo. 27 Vaudze kuti, ‘Zvanzi namambo: “Isai munhu uyu mujeri+ uye mupei chingwa chakatapudzwa nemvura shoma kusvikira ndadzoka nerugare.”’” 28 Asi Mikaya akati: “Kana mukadzoka nerugare, Jehovha haana kutaura neni.”+ Akabva ati: “Mucherechedze, imi vanhu vese.”
29 Saka mambo weIsraeri naJehoshafati mambo weJudha vakakwidza kuRamoti-giriyedhi.+ 30 Mambo weIsraeri akabva ati kuna Jehoshafati: “Ndichachinja nguo dzangu kuti ndirege kuzivikanwa, ndoenda kunorwa, asi iwe unofanira kupfeka nguo dzako dzeumambo.” Saka mambo weIsraeri akachinja nguo dzake kuti arege kuzivikanwa+ akaenda kunorwa. 31 Mambo weSiriya akanga arayira vakuru 32 vengoro dzake achiti:+ “Musarwa nemumwe munhu, mudiki kana mukuru, kunze kwamambo weIsraeri chete.” 32 Vakuru vengoro dzacho pavakangoona Jehoshafati, vakati nechemumwoyo: “Chokwadi uyu ndiye mambo weIsraeri.” Saka vakatsaukira kwaari kuti vamurwise; asi Jehoshafati akatanga kushevedzera kuti abatsirwe. 33 Vakuru vengoro pavakaona kuti akanga asiri mambo weIsraeri, vakabva varega kumutevera.
34 Asi mumwe murume akangopfurawo neuta hwake asina kuzvironga, akabaya mambo weIsraeri nepanobatana nguo yake yesimbi. Saka mambo akati kumutyairi wake wengoro: “Tendeutsa ngoro undibudise muhondo,* nekuti ndakuvadzwa zvakanyanya.”+ 35 Hondo yakaramba ichipisa zuva racho rese, uye mambo akamira akaita zvekutsigirwa nevamwe mungoro, akatarisana nevaSiriya. Ropa raibuda paronda racho rakayerera richienda mungoro yehondo, uye akafa manheru.+ 36 Panenge pakunyura kwezuva, mumusasa makashevedzerwa kuti: “Munhu wese ngaaende kuguta rake!
