Lapho umuntu eyakubamba umfowabo endlini kayise ethi: Wena unengubo, yiba ngumbusi wethu, le ncithakalo ibe phansi kwesandla sakho,

Kuyakuthi la pho uJehova esekwenzile enkosini yami njengakho konke okuhle akukhulumileyo ngawe, akubeke ube ngumbusi kwa-Israyeli,

Ngesikhathi esidlulileyo , uSawule eseyinkosi phezu kwethu , nguwe owakhipha nowangenisa u-Israyeli; uJehova wathi kuwe : Wena uyakwalusa abantu bami u-Israyeli, wena uyakuba ngumbusi wakwa-Israyeli.

Wayesethi uDavide kuMikhali : Ngaphambi kukaJehova owangikhetha phezu kukayihlo naphezu kwayo yonke indlu yakhe ukungimisa ukuba ngibe ngumbusi wabantu bakaJehova kwa -Israyeli, yebo, ngaphambi kukaJehova ngathokoza.

Ngalokho uyakusho kanje encekwini yami uDavide , uthi: U sho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uthi: Mina ngakuthatha edlelweni ekwaluseni izimvu ukuba ube ngumbusi wabantu bami kwa-Israyeli;

Bese nenyuka emva kwakhe , afike ahlale esihlalweni sami sobukhosi , ngokuba uyakuba yinkosi esikhundleni sami; ngimbekile ukuba abe ngumbusi phezu kuka-Israyeli noJuda.

Hamba umtshele uJerobowamu ukuthi : U Jehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli usho kanje , uthi: Njengokuba ngakuphakamisa phakathi kwabantu , ngakubeka ube ngumbusi wabantu bami u-Israyeli,

Abantu abaseleyo ezweni lakwaJuda abashiyiwe nguNebukadinesari inkosi yaseBabele, phezu kwabo wenza uGedaliya indodana ka -Ahikamu kaShafani abe ngumbusi.

Nangesikhathi esidlulileyo uSawule eseyinkosi , nguwe o wakhipha nowangenisa u -Israyeli; uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho wathi kuwe : Wena uyakwalusa abantu bami u -Israyeli, wena uyakuba ngumbusi wabantu bami u-Israyeli.

Ngalokho uyakusho kanje encekwini yami uDavide , uthi: U sho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uthi: Mina ngakuthatha edlelweni ekwaluseni izimvu ukuba ube ngumbusi wabantu bami u-Israyeli;

Kodwa uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli wangikhetha endlini yonke kababa ukuba ngibe yinkosi kwa-Israyeli kuze kube phakade; ngokuba ukhethile uJuda ukuba abe ngumbusi , nasendlini kaJuda indlu kababa , naphakathi kwamadodana kababa wangenamela mina ukuba angibeke inkosi kwa - Israyeli wonke,

Kusukela osukw ini engakhipha ngalo abantu bami u -Israyeli ezweni laseGibithe angikhethanga muzi ezizweni zonke zakwa -Israyeli ukwakha indlu ukuba igama lami libe khona lapho , futhi angikhethanga muntu ukuba abe ngumbusi wabantu bami u-Israyeli,

URehobowamu wabeka u -Abiya, indodana kaMahakha, abe yinhloko, abe ngumbusi phakathi kwabafowabo, ngokuba wacabanga ukumbeka inkosi.

Futhi kusukela osukwini engamiswa ngalo ukuba ngibe ngumbusi wabo ezweni lakwaJuda , kwasemnyakeni wamashumi amabili kuze kube semnyakeni wamashumi amathathu nambili ka -Aritahishashita inkosi , iminyaka eyishumi nabili, mina nabafowethu asidlanga isinkwa sombusi.

Wamenza abe ngumbusi phezu kwemisebenzi yezandla zakho ; konke wakubeka phansi kwezinyawo zakhe:

Engakabuyi, yathi: Buyela kuGedaliya indodana ka -Ahikamu kaShafani , inkosi yaseBabele emenze abe ngumbusi phezu kwemizi yakwaJuda , uhlale naye p hakathi kwabantu ; noma lapho kulungile emehlweni akho ukuya khona, yiya lapho . Induna yabalindi yayisimnika umphako nesipho , yamvumela ukuba ahambe.

Futhi lapho bonke abaJuda ababekwaMowabi , naphakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Amoni, nakwa-Edomi, nababesemazweni onke sebezwile ukuthi inkosi yaseBabele ishiyile insali kwa Juda nokuthi ibeke phezu kwabo uGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikamu kaShafani ukuba abe ngumbusi phezu kwabo,

Kepha wena Betlehema Efra tha, omncane ukuba ube phakathi kwemindeni yakwaJuda, ngiyakuphunyelwa ngovela kuwe , ozakuba ngumbusi kwa - Israyeli, okuvela kwakhe kusukela endulo ezinsukwini zaphakade.

wamkhipha kuzo zonke izinhlupheko zakhe , wamupha umusa nokuhlakanipha phambi kukaFaro inkosi yaseGibithe ; yena wammisa abe ngumbusi eGibithe nakuyo yonke indlu yakhe.

Kepha lowo owayemona umakhelwan e wakhe wamhlohloloza wathi : Ubekwe ngubani ube ngumbusi nomahluleli phezu kwethu na?

UMose lowo abamalayo bethi: Ubekwe ngubani ube ngumbusi nomahluleli na? nguyena amthumayo uNkulunkulu ngesandla sengelosi eyabonakala kuye esihlahleni, abe ngumbusi nomhlengi.
