8. Ke uElisha umfo wakwaThixo uthe akuva ukuba ukumkani wakwaSirayeli uzikrazule izambatho zakhe, wathumela kuye esithi: “Ngani ukuba ude ukrazule izambatho zakho? Loo mntu mthumele apha kum; uya kutsho aqonde ukuba ukho umshumayeli kwaSirayeli.”
9. Ngoko ke uNahaman wahamba naloo mahashe, nezo nqwelo zakhe, waya kuma esangweni kwamshumayeli uElisha.
10. UElisha wamthumelela isigidimi esithi: “Yiya emlanjeni iJordan, uhlambe kasixhenxe. Ulusu lwakho lobuyela kwimo yalo yangaphambili, uhlambuluke.”
11. Kambe ke uNahaman wemka apho egqusha ngumsindo, esithi: “Mna bendicinga ukuba lo mfo uya kuphuma eze kum, akhe eme anqule igama likaNdikhoyo uThixo wakhe, futhi akhe awangawangise nangesandla kule ndawo, ukuze ke ndinyangeke.
12. Kanti, ngaba akukho mlambo ngoku eDamasko? Ziye phi iAbhana neFarpare, imilambo yokwenyani edlula nawuphi na okwaSirayeli? Bendingehlambi khona ndihlambuluke?” Wajika, wahamba enomsindo.
