15. Wonke uJuda wathokoza ngesifungo, ngokuba babefungile ngayo yonke inhliziyo yabo, bamfuna ngakho konke ukufisa kwabo; wafunyanwa yibo; uJehova wabaphumuza nxazonke.
16. Wamsusa uMahakha unina ka-Asa inkosi ebukhosikazini, ngokuba wayemenzele u-Ashera* isithombe esinengekayo; u-Asa wagawula isithombe sakhe, wasicolisisa, wasishisa ngasemfudlaneni iKidroni.
17. Kodwa izindawo eziphakemeyo azisuswanga kwa-Israyeli; nokho inhliziyo ka-Asa yayiphelele zonke izinsuku zakhe.
18. Wangenisa endlini kaNkulunkulu izinto ezingcwele zikayise nezinto zakhe ezingcwele: isiliva, negolide, nezitsha.
19. Akwabe kusaba khona ukulwa kwaze kwaba semnyakeni wamashumi amathathu nanhlanu wokubusa kuka-Asa.
