2 UJehova wayesethi kuGideyoni: “Abantu abanawe baningi kakhulu ukuba nginikele uMidiyani esandleni sabo. + U-Israyeli angase azigabise bese ethi kimi, ‘Yisandla sami esingisindisile.’ +

15 Lapho isikhonzi somuntu kaNkulunkulu weqiniso sivuka ekuseni siphumela phandle, sabona ibutho lempi namahhashi nezinqola zempi kuzungeze idolobha. Ngaso leso sikhathi isikhonzi sathi kuye: “Maye nkosi yami! Sizokwenzenjani?” 16 Kodwa wathi: “Ungesabi! + Ngoba baningi abanathi kunabanabo.” +

11 U-Asa wabe esebiza uJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe + wathi: “O Jehova, akunandaba kuwe ukuthi labo obasizayo baningi noma abanamandla. + O Jehova Nkulunkulu wethu, sisize ngoba sithembele* kuwe, + sizolwa nalesi sixuku egameni lakho. + O Jehova, wena unguNkulunkulu wethu. Ungamvumeli umuntu ofayo abe namandla kunawe.” +
