4. UJuda wakhuphuka; uJehova wanikela esandleni sabo amaKhanani namaPherizi, babulala kuwo abantu abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi eBezeki.
5. EBezeki bafumana u-Adoni Bezeki, balwa naye, bawabulala amaKhanani namaPherizi.
6. Kepha u-Adoni Bezeki wabaleka; bamxosha, bambamba, bamnquma izithupha nawoqukula.
7. Wayesethi u-Adoni Bezeki: “Amakhosi angamashumi ayisikhombisa enqunyiwe izithupha nawoqukula acosha ukudla kwawo phansi kwetafula lami; njengalokho ngenzile, kanjalo uNkulunkulu uphindisele kimi.” Bamyisa eJerusalema, wafela khona.
8. Abantwana bakwaJuda balwa neJerusalema, balithatha, balichitha ngosiko lwenkemba, bathungela umuzi ngomlilo.
9. Ngasemuva behla abantwana bakwaJuda ukuba balwe namaKhanani ayakhe ezintabeni, nangaseningizimu, nasenzansi.
