2 UAhazi wayeneminyaka eyi-20 xa waba ngukumkani, ibe walawula iminyaka eyi-16 eYerusalem. Akazange enze izinto ezilungileyo emehlweni kaYehova uThixo wakhe njengokhokho wakhe uDavide.+ 3 Kunoko, wenza izinto ezenziwa ngookumkani bakwaSirayeli,+ wada wabingelela* nangonyana wakhe emlilweni,+ esenza izinto ezenyanyekayo ezazisenziwa ziintlanga+ awazigxothayo uYehova phambi kwamaSirayeli.

35 Befuna ukonisa uYuda, baye bakha neendawo eziphakamileyo zikaBhahali eziseNtlanjeni Yonyana KaHinom,*+ ukuze babingelele* ngoonyana babo neentombi zabo emlilweni kuMoleki,+ nto leyo eyenyanyekayo nendingabayalelanga ukuba bayenze,+ nengazange ithi qatha entliziyweni* yam.’
