13 Ku-Amasa kufanele nithi,+ ‘Awulona yini ithambo lami nenyama yami? Kwangathi uNkulunkulu angenza kanjalo kimi futhi kwangathi anganezela kanjalo kukho+ uma ungayikuba induna yempi phambi kwami ngaso sonke isikhathi esikhundleni sikaJowabe.’”+

4 Manje inkosi yathi ku-Amasa:+ “Biza amadoda akwaJuda eze kimi ngezinsuku ezintathu, wena ume lapha.”

5 “Wena ngokwakho ukwazi kahle lokho uJowabe indodana kaZeruya akwenza kimi+ kulokho akwenza ezinduneni ezimbili zamabutho ka-Israyeli, ku-Abhineri+ indodana kaNeri naku-Amasa+ indodana kaJetheri,+ lapho ezibulala echitha igazi+ lempi ngesikhathi sokuthula futhi eninda ibhande lakhe elalisokhalweni lwakhe nezimbadada zakhe ezazisezinyaweni zakhe ngegazi lempi.
