2 IziKronike 22 u-Ahaziya, inkosi yakwaJuda

¹ Abakhileyo eJerusalema babeka u-Ahaziya indodana yakhe encane inkosi esikhundleni sakhe, ngokuba iviyo elafika nama-Arabu ekamu labulala onke amadoda amadala. Wayesebusa u-Ahaziya indodana kaJehoramu inkosi yakwaJuda.

² U-Ahaziya wayeneminyaka engamashumi amane nambili ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa umnyaka eJerusalema; Igama likanina lalingu-Athaliya, indodakazi ka-Omri.

³ Naye wahamba ezindleleni zendlu ka-Ahabi, ngokuba unina wayengumluleki wakhe ukwenza okubi.

⁴ Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova njengendlu ka-Ahabi, ngokuba bona baba ngabacebisi bakhe emva kokufa kukayise waze wachithwa.

⁵ Naye wenza iseluleko sabo, wahamba noJoramu indodana ka-Ahabi, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, ukulwa noHazayeli inkosi yase-Aramu eRamoti kwaGileyadi; ama-Aramu amnqoba uJoramu.

⁶ Wabuyela ukuphulukiswa eJizreyeli ngenxa yamanxeba awawathola eRama ekulweni kwakhe noHasayeli inkosi yase-Aramu. U-Azariya indodana kaJoramu, inkosi yakwaJuda, wehla ukuyobona uJoramu indodana ka-Ahabi eJizreyeli, ngokuba wayegula.

⁷ UNkulunkulu wambulala u-Ahaziya ngokuza kuJoramu; ngoba ekufikeni kwakhe waphuma loJoramu ukuya kuJehu indodana kaNimshi, amgcobileyo uJehova ukuthi achithe indlu kaAhabi.

⁸ Kwathi lapho uJehu ahlulela indlu ka-Ahabi, wafumana izikhulu zakwaJuda namadodana abafowabo baka-Ahaziya ababekhonza u-Ahaziya, wababulala.

⁹ Wamfuna u-Ahaziya, bambamba, ngokuba wayecashile eSamariya, bamyisa kuJehu; sebembulale bammbela; ngoba bathi uyindodana kaJehoshafati owamfuna uJehova ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakhe. Ngakho indlu ka-Ahaziya yayingenawo amandla okuthulisa umbuso.

¹⁰ Kodwa lapho u-Athaliya unina ka-Ahaziya ebona ukuthi indodana yakhe ifile, wasukuma wabhubhisa yonke inzalo yobukhosi yendlu yakwaJuda.

¹¹ Kepha uJehosabati, indodakazi yenkosi, wathatha uJowashi indodana ka-Ahaziya, wameba phakathi kwamadodana enkosi abulawayo, wamfaka yena nomlindi wakhe ekamelweni. UJosabati indodakazi yenkosi uJoramu umkaJehoyada umpristi (ngokuba wayengudadewabo ka-Ahaziya) wamfihla ku-Athaliya ukuba angambulali.

¹² Wacatsha kubo endlini kaNkulunkulu iminyaka eyisithupha, u-Athaliya wabusa phezu kwezwe.
