UMowabi wathi kumalunga akwaMidiyani: Manje leli bandla liyakukhotha konke okungakithi nxazonke , njengalokhu inkabi ikhotha utshani bedlelo . UBalaki indodana kaSipori wayeyinkosi yakwaMowabi ngaleso sikhathi.

Amalunga akwaMowabi namalunga akwaMidiyani asuka enenkokhelo yokubhula esandleni sawo ; ayesefika kuBileyamu , akhuluma kuye amazwi kaBalaki.

Babulala amakhosi akwaMidiyani kanye nabanye ababulawayo : o-Evi, noRekemi, noSuri, noHure, noReba, amakhosi ayisihlanu akwaMidiyani ; noBileyamu indodana kaBeyori bambulala ngemkemba.

Wayesethi kubantu baseSukoti : Ake niphe abantu abangilandelayo izinkwa, ngokuba bayethile, ngisaxosha oZeba noSalimuna amakhosi akwaMidiyani.

OZeba noSalimuna babaleka , wabaxosha; wawabamba amakhosi omabili akwaMidiyani, oZeba noSalimuna, wachitha impi yonke.

Isisindo samacici egolide awacelayo sasingamashekeli ayinkulungwane namakhulu ayisikhombisa egolide , ngaphandle kwezimbedu ezinjengenyanga, neziqhaza, nezingubo ezibuben de ezazembethwe ngamakhosi akwaMidiyani , nangaphandle kwamaketanga ayesezintanyeni zamakamela awo.

Ubuningi bamakamela buyakukusibekela , amakamela amasha akwaMidiyani nase -Efa; bonke abaseSheba bayakuza , balethe igolide nenhlaka, bamemezele izindumiso zikaJehova.
