U-Abiyamu wayeselala koyise; bammbela emzini kaDavide; u-Asa indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

Ngomnyaka wamashumi amabili kaJerobowamu , inkosi yakwa -Israyeli, u- Asa waqala ukubusa phezu kukaJuda.

U-Asa wenza okulungile emehlweni kaJehova njengoDavide uyise.

Wamsusa uMahakha unina ebukhosikazini , ngokuba wayenzela u -Ashera isithombe esinengekayo ; u-Asa wanquma isithombe sakhe, wasishisa ngasemfudlaneni iKidroni.

Kodwa izindawo eziphakemeyo azisuswanga ; nokho inhliziyo ka -Asa yayikuJehova ngokupheleleyo zonke izinsuku zakhe.

Kwakukhona ukulwa phakathi kuka -Asa noBahasha inkosi yakwa -Israyeli zonke izinsuku zabo.

UBahasha inkosi yakwa-Israyeli wenyuka ukuhlasela uJuda, wakha iRama, ukuze angavumeli muntu ukuphuma nokungena ku-Asa inkosi yakwaJuda.

U-Asa wayesethatha lonke isiliva negolide elalisele engcebeni yendlu kaJehova nengcebo yendlu yenkosi , wakunikela ezandleni zezinceku zakhe ; inkosi u -Asa yazithuma kuBeni Hadadi indodana kaTabirimoni kaHeziyoni , inkosi yase-Aramu, owayehlala eDamaseku, yathi:

Ngomnyaka wesithathu ka -Asa inkosi yakwaJuda uBa hasha wambulala , wabusa esikhundleni sakhe.

Kwakukhona ukulwa phakathi kuka -Asa noBahasha inkosi yakwa -Israyeli zonke izinsuku zabo.

Ngomnyaka wesithathu ka -Asa inkosi yakwaJuda uBahasha indodana ka - Ahiya waqala ukubusa phezu kuka -Israyeli wonke eTirisa , wabusa iminyaka engamashumi amabili nane.

Ngomnyaka wamashumi amabili nesithupha ka -Asa, inkosi yakwaJuda , u- Ela, indodana kaBahash a, waqala ukubusa phezu kuka -Israyeli eTirisa , wabusa iminyaka emibili.

uZimri wangena , wamshaya, wambulala ngomnyaka wamashumi amabili nesikhombisa ka-Asa inkosi yakwaJuda, waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

Ngomnyaka wamashumi amabili nesikhombisa ka -Asa inkosi yakwaJuda, uZimri waba yinkosi izinsuku eziyisikhombisa eTirisa . Abantu base bemisile ngaseGibethoni elalingelamaFilisti.

Wahamba ngezindlela zonke zika-Asa uyise , kaphambukanga kuzo , enza okulungile emehlweni kaJehova . Kepha izindawo eziphakemeyo azisuswanga; abantu babesanikela , babesashisa impepho ezindaweni eziphakemeyo.

Insali yezifebe zethempeli ezazisasele emihleni kayise u -Asa wayixosha ezweni.

Indodana kaSolomoni yayin guRehobowamu; ngu-Abiya indodana yakhe ; ngu-Asa indodana yakhe; nguJehoshafati indodana yakhe;

no-Obadiya kaShemaya kaGalali kaJeduthuni, noBerekiya ka-Asa ka-Elkana owahlala emizaneni yamaNethofa,

U-Abiya wayeselala koyise ; bammbela emzini kaDavide ; u-Asa indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe: emihleni yakhe izwe lazola iminyaka eyishumi.

U-Asa wenza okuhle nokulungile emehlweni kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe.

U-Asa wayenempi ephethe izihlangu nemikhonto , evela kwaJuda , iyizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu, nevela kwaBenjamini, ephethe amahawu nensala iminsalo , iyizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili namashumi ayisishiyagalombili; bonke labo babe ngamaqhawe anamandla.

U-Asa wayesephuma ukuhlangabezana naye , bahlela impi esigodini saseSefata ngaseMaresha.

U-Asa wakhala kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe , wathi: Jehova, akakho ngaphandle kwakho ongasiza phakathi konamandla amak hulu nongenawo ; sisize, Jehova Nkulunkulu wethu , ngokuba sencika kuwe , sifike ngegama lakho kulesi sixuku . Jehova, wena unguNkulunkulu wethu , mawungahlulwa muntu.

UJehova wawashaya amaKushe phambi kuka -Asa naphambi kukaJuda ; amaKushe abaleka.

U-Asa na bantu ababe naye bawaxosha kwaze kwaba seGerari, kwawa amaKushe kwaze kwangasala muntu ophilayo , ngokuba achithwa phambi kukaJehova naphambi kwempi yakhe, bamuka nempango enkulu kakhulu.

Lapho u -Asa esezwa lawo mazwi nesiprofetho sika -Azariya ka -Odedi umprofethi, waziqinisa isibindi , wasusa izinengiso ezweni lonke lakwaJuda noBenjamini, nasemizini ayeyithathile ezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi, walivusa i- altare likaJehova elaliphambi kompheme kaJehova.

Babuthana eJerusalema ngenyanga yesi thathu ngomnyaka weshumi nanhlanu wokubusa kuka-Asa.

Wamsusa uMahakha unina ka -Asa inkosi ebukhosikazini , ngokuba wayemenzele u -Ashera isithombe esinengekayo ; u-Asa wagawula isithombe sakhe, wasicolisisa, wasishisa ngasemfudlaneni iKidroni.

Kodwa izindawo eziphakemeyo azisuswanga kwa-Israyeli; nokho inhliziyo ka-Asa yayiphelele zonke izinsuku zakhe.

Akwabe kusaba khona ukulwa kwaze kwaba semnyakeni wamashumi amathathu nanhlanu wokubusa kuka-Asa.

U-Asa wacunuka ngomboni, wamfaka endlini yezitokisi, ngokuba wamfutha ngenxa yale nto. U-Asa wabadlova nabathile babantu ngaleso sikhathi. Ukugula nokufa kuka-Asa

Bheka, izindaba zika -Asa, ezokuqala nezokugcina , bheka-ke, zilotshiwe encwadini yamakhosi akwaJuda nakwa-Israyeli.

U-Asa wayesela la koyise , wafa ngomnyaka wamashumi amane nanye wokubusa kwakhe.

Wabeka amabutho emizini yonke ebiyelweyo yakwaJuda , wabeka amakhanda ezweni la kwaJuda, nasemizini yakwa -Efrayimi u -Asa uyise ayithathileyo.

Wahamba ngendlela ka -Asa uyise , kaphambukanga kuyo , ekwenza okulungile emehlweni kaJehova.

Kwafika kuye incwadi iphuma ku -Eliya umprofethi , ithi: Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu kaDavide uyihlo , uthi: Ngokuba ungahambanga ngezindlela zikaJehoshafati uyihlo nangezindlela zika-Asa inkosi yakwaJuda,

Umgodi u -Ishmayeli alahla kuwo zonke izidumbu zabantu ayebabulele wawungumgodi omkhulu owenziwa yinkosi u -Asa ngenxa kaBahasha inkosi ka-Israyeli; u-Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya wawugcwalisa ngababuleweyo.
