2 Ngoko uIzebhele wathumela umthunywa kuEliya, esithi: “Kwanga oothixo bangandohlwaya, baze bongeze, ukuba ngeli xesha ngomso andenzanga kuwe le nto oyenze kwabanye abaprofeti!”

4 Wahamba uhambo oluthatha usuku waya entlango, wafika wahlala phantsi komthi wonwele, waza wacela ukufa.* Wathi: “Kwanele! Owu Yehova, buthathe ubomi bam,+ kuba andilunganga ngaphezu kookhokho bam.”

3 Kodwa uYona waphakama ukuze ambaleke uYehova aye eTarshishe. Wehla waya eYopa waza wafumana inqanawa eya eTarshishe. Ngoko wabhatala waza wakhwela kuyo, ukuze ahambe ngayo aye eTarshishe, kude noYehova.
