13 ʻI he taʻu hono 23 ʻo e pule ʻa Sihoasi+ ko e foha ʻo ʻAhasaia+ ko e tuʻi ʻo Siutá, naʻe hoko ʻa Sihoaasi ko e foha ʻo Sehú+ ko e tuʻi ki ʻIsileli ʻi Samēlia, pea naʻá ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe 17. 2 Naʻe hokohoko atu ʻene fai ʻa e meʻa naʻe kovi ʻi he vakai ʻa Sihová, pea naʻá ne kīvoi ʻi he angahala naʻe fakatupunga ʻe Selopoame ko e foha ʻo Nīpatí ke fai ʻe ʻIsilelí.+ Naʻe ʻikai te ne tafoki mei ai. 3 Ko ia naʻe kakaha ʻa e houhau ʻa Sihová+ ki ʻIsileli,+ peá ne tuku kinautolu ki he nima ʻo Tuʻi Hesaeli+ ʻo Sīliá pea ki he nima ʻo Peni-hētati+ ko e foha ʻo Hesaelí ʻi he kotoa honau ngaahi ʻahó.
4 Pea naʻe faifai ʻo kōlenga ʻa Sihoaasi ki he hōifua ʻa* Sihová, pea naʻe fanongo ʻa Sihova kiate ia, he naʻá ne mamata ki he ngaohikovia naʻe fai ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Sīliá ki ʻIsilelí.+ 5 Ko ia naʻe tokonaki ʻe Sihova ki ʻIsileli ha faifakahaofi+ ke ne fakatauʻatāinaʻi kinautolu mei he nima ʻo Sīliá, pea naʻe malava ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ke nofo ʻi honau ngaahi ʻapí ʻo hangē pē ko ia ki muʻá.* 6 (Kae kehe, naʻe ʻikai te nau mavahe mei he angahala ʻo e fale ʻo Selopoamé ʻa ia naʻá ne fakatupunga ke fai ʻe ʻIsilelí.+ Naʻa nau hokohoko atu pē ʻi he angahala ko ení,* pea naʻe kei tuʻu ai pē ʻa e pou ʻakau toputapú*+ ʻi Samēlia.) 7 Naʻe toe ha kau tau ko e kau tangata heka hoosi pē ʻe toko 50 ʻa Sihoaasi, saliote ʻe 10, pea mo e kau sōtia ʻalu lalo ʻe toko 10,000, koeʻuhí he naʻe fakaʻauha kinautolu+ ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Sīliá, ʻo tāmalaki kinautolu ke nau hangē ko e efu ʻi he taimi ʻo e ʻauʻau uité.+
8 Ko e meʻa ki he toenga ʻo e hisitōlia ʻo Sihoaasí, mo e meʻa kotoa naʻá ne faí mo hono fuʻu mālohí, ʻikai kuo hiki ia ʻi he tohi ʻo e hisitōlia ʻo e taimi ʻo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsilelí? 9 Pea naʻe toka ʻa Sihoaasi ʻo mālōlō fakataha mo ʻene fanga kuí, pea naʻa nau tanu ia ʻi Samēlia;+ pea naʻe hoko ʻa hono foha ko Sihoasí ko e tuʻi ʻo fetongi ia.
10 ʻI he taʻu hono 37 ʻo e pule ʻa Tuʻi Sihoasi ʻo Siutá, naʻe hoko ʻa Sihoasi+ ko e foha ʻo Sihoaasí ko e tuʻi ki ʻIsileli ʻi Samēlia, pea naʻá ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe 16. 11 Naʻe hokohoko atu ʻene fai ʻa e meʻa naʻe kovi ʻi he vakai ʻa Sihová, ʻo ʻikai te ne mavahe mei he ngaahi angahala kotoa naʻe fakatupunga ʻe Selopoame ko e foha ʻo Nīpatí ke fai ʻe ʻIsilelí.+ Naʻá ne hokohoko atu pē* ʻi he ngaahi angahalá ni.
12 Ko e meʻa ki he toenga ʻo e hisitōlia ʻo Sihoasí, mo e meʻa kotoa naʻá ne faí mo hono fuʻu mālohí pea mo ʻene faitau mo Tuʻi ʻAmasaia ʻo Siutá,+ ʻikai kuo hiki ia ʻi he tohi ʻo e hisitōlia ʻo e taimi ʻo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsilelí? 13 Pea naʻe toka ʻa Sihoasi ʻo mālōlō fakataha mo ʻene fanga kuí, pea naʻe nofo ʻa Selopoame*+ ʻi hono taloní. Pea naʻe tanu ʻa Sihoasi ʻi Samēlia fakataha mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsilelí.+
14 Pea ʻi he hoko ʻa ʻIlaisa+ ʻo puke ʻi ha mahaki ʻa ia naʻe faai atu pē ʻo ne mate aí, naʻe ʻalu hifo ai ʻa Sihoasi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsilelí kiate ia ʻo ne tangi ʻiate ia, ʻo pehē: “ʻA ʻeku tamai, ʻa ʻeku tamai! Ko e saliote ʻa ʻIsilelí mo ʻene kau tangata heka hōsí!”+ 15 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe ʻIlaisa kiate ia: “Toʻo ha kaufana mo ha ngaahi foʻi ngahau.” Ko ia naʻá ne toʻo ai ha kaufana mo ha ngaahi foʻi ngahau. 16 Pea naʻá ne pehē ange ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsilelí: “ʻAi ho nimá ki he kaufaná.” Ko ia naʻá ne ʻai hono nimá ki ai, ʻi he hili iá naʻe hili atu ʻe ʻIlaisa ʻa hono nimá ʻi he nima ʻo e tuʻí. 17 Naʻá ne pehē ange leva: “Fakaava ʻa e matapā-teke ki he hahaké.” Ko ia naʻá ne fakaava ia. Naʻe pehē ange ʻe ʻIlaisa: “Fana!” Ko ia naʻá ne fana leva. Naʻá ne pehē ange leva: “Ko e ngahau ʻo e ikuna* ʻa Sihová, ko e ngahau ʻo hono ikunaʻi ʻa* Sīliá! Te ke taaʻi* ʻa Sīlia ʻi ʻĒfeki+ kae ʻoua kuó ke fakaʻauha ʻosi ia.”
18 Naʻá ne hoko atu: “Toʻo ʻa e ngaahi foʻi ngahaú,” peá ne toʻo ia. Naʻá ne pehē ange leva ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsilelí: “Taaʻi ʻa e kelekelé.” Ko ia naʻá ne taaʻi tuʻo tolu ʻa e kelekelé pea tuku. 19 ʻI he meʻa ko iá, naʻe ʻita ʻa e tangata ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní kiate ia peá ne pehē: “Naʻe totonu ke ke taaʻi tuʻo nima pe tuʻo ono ʻa e kelekelé! Pea naʻe mei peheni haʻo taaʻi ʻa Sīlia kae ʻoua kuó ke fakaʻauha ʻosi ia, ka ko eni te ke taaʻi tuʻo tolu+ pē ʻa Sīlia.”
20 ʻI he hili iá, naʻe mate ʻa ʻIlaisa pea naʻe tanu ia. Naʻe ʻi ai ha kau Mōape kaihaʻa fakamālohi+ naʻa nau faʻa hū ki he fonuá ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻo e taʻú.* 21 ʻI hono tanu ʻe ha kau tangata ha tangata ʻe taha, naʻa nau sio atu ki he kau kaihaʻa fakamālohí, ko ia naʻa nau lī fakavave ai ʻa e tangatá ki he tanuʻanga ʻo ʻIlaisá ka nau lele. ʻI he lave ʻa e tangatá ki he ngaahi hui ʻo ʻIlaisá, naʻá ne toe moʻui+ peá ne tuʻu hake.
22 Pea ko Tuʻi Hesaeli+ ʻo Sīliá naʻá ne fakafeʻātungiaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli+ ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa ʻo Sihoaasí. 23 Kae kehe, naʻe fakaaʻu atu ʻe Sihova ʻa e hōifua mo e meesi kiate kinautolu+ pea fakahaaʻi ʻene tokanga kiate kinautolu koeʻuhí ko ʻene fuakava mo ʻĒpalahame,+ ʻAisake,+ pea mo Sēkopé.+ Naʻe ʻikai te ne loto ke fakaʻauha kinautolu, pea kuo ʻikai te ne kapusi kinautolu mei hono ʻaó ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻahó ni. 24 ʻI he mate ʻa Tuʻi Hesaeli ʻo Sīliá, naʻe hoko ʻa hono foha ko Peni-hētatí ko e tuʻi ʻo fetongi ia. 25 Naʻe fakafoki mai leva ʻe Sihoasi ko e foha ʻo Sihoaasí meia Peni-hētati ko e foha ʻo Hesaelí ʻa e ngaahi kolo ʻa ia naʻá ne ʻave ʻi he taú meia Sihoaasi ko ʻene tamaí. Naʻe tuʻo tolu ʻa hono taaʻi*+ ia ʻe Sihoasí, pea naʻá ne toe maʻu mai ʻa e ngaahi kolo ʻo ʻIsilelí.
