² Ngesikhatheso uJerobhowamu umsa kaNebathi gade asese seGibhide lapha abalekela khona uSolomoni. Kwathi bonyana ezwe ngendaba le, wasuka eGibhide.

³ Nje-ke uJerobhowamu wabizwa. Wafika wakhambisana naye woke u-Israyeli baya kuRerhobhowamu bathi kuye:

⁴ “Uyihlo wasithwesa ijogi elibudisi. Nje-ke wena gedlisa umsebenzi obudisi kayihlo lo nejogi asithwesa loneli, khona-ke sizakulotjha.”

⁵ URerhobhowamu wathi: “Yenibuye kimapha ngelanga lesithathu.” Awa, yeke abantu bakhamba-ke.

⁶ Ikosi uRerhobhowamu yabonana neengwevu zabaphathi ezazilotjha uyise uSolomoni ngesikhathi sokuphila kwakhe, yazibuza yathi: “Ningangiluleka bonyana ngithini ebantwinaba na?”

⁷ Zathi kuye: “Nawungakhe ube nomusa ebantwinaba, ubaphathe kuhle bese ubanikela ipendulo ehle, bazakuhlala baziinceku zakho.”

⁸ Kodwana uRerhobhowamu wala iseluleko seengwevu waya eentangeni zakhe ebegade zimlotjha.

⁹ Wababuza wathi: “Umbono wenu uthini? Singabaphendula sithini abantu abathi kimi, angigedlise ijogi abalithweswe ngubaba na?”

¹⁰ Iintanga zakhe zathi kuye: “Tjela abantu abathe kuwe batjho bafuna ukugedliselwa ijogi elibudisi abalithweswa ngubabakho uthi, “ ‘Utsetserwanami umabhombo kunedini lakababa.

¹¹ Ubaba wanithwesa ijogi elibudisi; mina-ke ngizalenza libe budisi ukudlula. Ubaba bekaniritha ngesibebhu; mina ngizonirhadla ngomrwedla.’ ”

¹³ Ikosi uRerhobhowamu yabaphendula ngobukhali. Yalahla neseluleko seengwevu,

¹⁴ yalandela iseluleko seentanga zayo yathi: “Ngizokwenza ijogi libe budisi, mina ngokwami ngizolenza libe budisi ukudlula. “Ubaba waniritha ngesibebhu, mina ngizonirhadla ngomrwedla.”

¹⁵ Yeke ikosi azange ilalele abantu ngombana isenzwesi sasiyintando kaZimu ukuzalisa ilizwi alikhuluma kuJerobhowamu umsa kaNebathi ngo-Arhiya umTjhilo.

¹⁶ Kuthe lokha woke u-Israyeli nabona bonyana ikosi ayimuphi indlebe, waphendula ikosi wathi: “Asinasabelo noDavida, asithintani ndawo nomsa kaJese! Ayigubhe wena Israyeli! Uzazibona ukuqeda wena ndlu kaDavida!” Yeke woke u-Israyeli wagoduka.
