1. Ke uYehoshafati ube enobutyebi nozuko ngokukhulu, wazekelana noAhabhi.
2. Wehla ekupheleni kweminyaka ethile, waya kuAhabhi kwaSamari. UAhabhi wamxhelela impahla emfutshane neenkomo ezininzi, waxhelela nabantu abenabo, wamcenga ukuba anyuke naye aye eRamoti yaseGiliyadi.
3. Wathi uAhabhi ukumkani wakwaSirayeli kuYehoshafati ukumkani wakwaYuda, Wòhamba na nam, siye kulwa neRamoti yaseGiliyadi? Wathi kuye, Ndinjengawe, abantu bam banjengabantu bakho; soya nawe ekulweni.
