Kwenyuka uNahashi wakwa-Amoni, wamisa eJabeshi Gileyadi ; bonke abantu baseJabeshi bathi kuNahashi : Yenza isivumelwano nathi , siyakukukhonza.

UNahashi wakwa -Amoni wathi kubo : Ngiyakusenza nani ngalokhu ukuba kukhishwe onke amehlo enu okunene, ngikubeke kube yihlazo kuye wonke u- Israyeli.

Kepha lapho nabona uNahashi inkosi yabantwana bakwa -Amoni ephuma ukulwa nani , nathi kimi : Hhayi, kepha masibuswe yinkosi , ingani uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu wayeyinkosi yenu.

Kwathi emva kwalokho uNahashi inkosi yabantwana bakwa -Amoni wafa , indodana yakhe yaba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
