10. U-Elisha wathuma isithunywa kuye ngokuthi: “Hamba ugeze kasikhombisa eJordani; kuyakuthi inyama ibuyele kuwe, uhlambuluke.”
11. Kepha uNahamani wathukuthela, wahamba, wathi: “Bheka, bengithi uyakuphumela nokuphumela kimi, eme abize igama likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe, aphunge ngesandla sakhe phezu kwaleyo ndawo, aphilise onochoko.
12. O-Abana noFariphari, imifula yaseDamaseku, abangcono kunawo onke amanzi akwa-Israyeli na? Ngingegeze kuyo yini, ngihlambuluke, na?” Wayesephenduka, wahamba ethukuthele.
