3 UJehova waqhubeka enoJehoshafati ngoba wahamba ezindleleni zangaphambili zikaDavide + ukhokho wakhe, akazange afune oBhali. 4 Wafuna uNkulunkulu kayise, + walandela* umyalo wakhe, wangenza imikhuba ka-Israyeli. +

3 Noma kunjalo, kukhona izinto ezinhle ezitholakale kuwe, + ngoba uzisusile izigxobo ezingcwele* ezweni walungisa nenhliziyo yakho* ukuba ifune uNkulunkulu weqiniso.” +

4 UJehoshafati waqhubeka ehlala eJerusalema, waphuma futhi phakathi kwabantu esuka eBheri-sheba eya esifundeni esinezintaba sakwa-Efrayimi, + ukuze akhuthaze abantu ukuba baphinde bakhonze uJehova uNkulunkulu wokhokho babo. +
