¹ Emva kuka-Abimeleki kwasukuma uThola indodana kaPhuwa kaDodo, umuntu wakwa-Isakare, ukuba avikele u-Israyeli; wahlala eSamiri ezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi.

² Wahola u-Israyeli iminyaka engamashumi amabili nantathu, wafa, wembelwa eSamiri.

³ Emva kwakhe kwavela uJayire wakwaGileyadi, wabusa u-Israyeli iminyaka engamashumi amabili nambili.

UJefta

⁶ Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babuye benza okubi emehlweni kaJehova, bakhonza oBali, no-Ashitaroti, nonkulunkulu base-Aramu, nonkulunkulu baseSidoni, nonkulunkulu bakwaMowabi, nonkulunkulu babantwana bakwa-Amoni, nonkulunkulu bama-Amoni. Onkulunkulu bamaFilisti, bamshiya uJehova, abamkhonzanga.

⁷ Intukuthelo kaJehova yamvuthela u-Israyeli, wathengisa ngabo esandleni samaFilisti nasesandleni sabantwana bakwa-Amoni.

⁸ Base behlupha abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ngalowo mnyaka, babacindezela iminyaka eyishumi nesishiyagalombili bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ababephesheya kweJordani ezweni lama-Amori aseGileyadi.

⁹ Ngaphezu kwalokho, abantwana bakwa-Amoni bawela iJordani ukuze nabo balwe noJuda noBhenjamini kanye nendlu ka-Efrayimi; u-Israyeli wacindezeleka kakhulu.

¹⁰ Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bakhuleka kuJehova, bathi: “Sonile kuwe, ngokuba simshiyile uNkulunkulu wethu, sakhonza oBali.

¹¹ Wayesethi uJehova kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli: “Anginikhululanga yini esandleni sabaseGibithe, nakuma-Amori, nabantwana bakwa-Amoni, nakumaFilisti?

¹² AmaSidoni nama-Amaleki namaMahoni anicindezela; nakhala Kimi, nganisindisa esandleni sabo.

¹³ Kepha nina ningishiyile, nakhonza abanye onkulunkulu; ngakho-ke kangisayikunisindisa.

¹⁴ Hambani nibize onkulunkulu enibakhethile; akusindise ngesikhathi sokuhlupheka kwakho.

¹⁵ Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bathi kuJehova: “Sonile; Sikhulule namuhla nje, siyakhuleka Kuwe.

¹⁶ Babasusa onkulunkulu babezizwe phakathi kwabo, bamkhonza uJehova; umphefumulo wakhe waba lusizi ngenxa yokuhlupheka kuka-Israyeli.

¹⁷ Abantwana bakwa-Amoni babuthana, bamisa kwaGileyadi. Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babuthana, bamisa eMispa.

¹⁸ Abantu nezikhulu zakwaGileyadi bathi omunye komunye: “Ngumuphi lowo ozoqala ukulwa nabantwana bakwa-Amoni na? uyakuba yinhloko phezu kwabo bonke abakhileyo kwaGileyadi.
