30 UAhiya wasithatha esi sambatho sitsha wasikrazula saziziqwenga eziyi-12. 31 Wathi kuYerobhoham:

“Zithathele iziqwenga ezilishumi, kuba uthi uYehova uThixo kaSirayeli, ‘Ndiza kubukrazula ubukumkani esandleni sikaSolomon, ndikunike izizwe zibe lishumi.+

2 Ngoko uYerobhoham wathi emfazini wakhe: “Ndicela uhambe uye eShilo, uzenze omnye umntu ukuze bangakwazi ukuba ungumfazi wam. Jonga! Ulapho umprofeti uAhiya. Nguye owathi ndiza kuba ngukumkani wesi sizwana.+

6 Wathi nje akuva izingqi zakhe esiza emnyango, uAhiya wathi: “Ngena mfazi kaYerobhoham. Uzifihlela ntoni ukuba ungubani? Ndithunywe ukuba ndikunike umyalezo oqatha.

10 Ngenxa yaloo nto ndiyizisela intlekele indlu kaYerobhoham, yaye ndiza kutshabalalisa* wonke umntu oyindoda* kwaYerobhoham, nkqu nalowo ungenakuzinceda nongenamandla kwaSirayeli, yaye ndiza kutshayela kwanto esendlini kaYerobhoham,+ kanye njengaxa kususwa ubulongwe bude buphele!
