2 IziKronike 11
1URehobowamu esefikile eJerusalema, wabutha endlini yakwaJuda nakwaBenjamini amadoda akhethiweyo ayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi ayisishiyagalombili, ukuba alwe no-Israyeli, abuyisele ubukhosi kuRehobowamu.
2Kepha izwi likaJehova lafika kuShemaya, umuntu kaNkulunkulu, lathi:
3Khuluma kuRehobowamu indodana kaSolomoni, inkosi yakwaJuda, nakuye wonke u-Israyeli kwaJuda nakwaBenjamini, uthi:
4Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Aniyikukhuphuka niyokulwa nabafowenu; buyelani, kube yilowo nalowo endlini yakhe, ngokuba lokhu kwenziwe kimi. Bawalalela amazwi kaJehova, babuya ekulweni noJerobowamu.
5URehobowamu wahlala eJerusalema, wakha imizi eyinqaba kwaJuda.
6Wakha neBetlehema, ne-Etamu, neThekhowa,
7noBetsuri noSoko no-Adulamu,
8neGati, neMaresha, neZifi,
9no-Adoraim, neLakishi, no-Aseka,
10neSoreya, ne-Ajaloni, neHebroni, imizi ebiyelweyo kwaJuda nakwaBenjamini.
11Waziqinisa izinqaba, wabeka ababusi kuzo, nezitolo zokudla, namafutha, newayini.
12Emizini yonke wabeka izihlangu nemikhonto, wakwenza kwaba namandla kakhulu, uJuda noBenjamini beseduze kwakhe.
13Abapristi namaLevi ababe ko-Israyeli wonke beza kuye bevela kuzo zonke izindawo zabo.
14Ngokuba amaLevi ashiya amadlelo awo nempahla yawo, eza kwaJuda naseJerusalema, ngokuba uJerobowamu namadodana akhe babalahlile ukuba bangabe besaba ubupristi bukaJehova.
15Wazimisela abapristi bezindawo eziphakemeyo nabamademoni nabamathole abewenzile.
16Ngemva kwabo bevela ezizweni zonke zakwa-Israyeli beza eJerusalema labo ababebeke izinhliziyo zabo ekufuneni uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ukuze bahlabele uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise.
17Bawuqinisa umbuso wakwaJuda, baqinisa uRehobowamu indodana kaSolomoni iminyaka emithathu; iminyaka emithathu bahamba ngendlela kaDavide noSolomoni.
18URehobowamu wazithathela uMahalati, indodakazi kaJerimoti, indodana kaDavide, no-Abihayili indodakazi ka-Eliyabe indodana kaJese;
19owamzalela abantwana; Jeus kanye neSamariya kanye noSaham.
20Emva kwakhe wathatha uMaga, indodakazi ka-Abisalomu; owamzalela uAbhiya, no-Athayi, noSisa, noShelomiti.
21URehobowamu wathanda uMahaga indodakazi ka-Abisalomu ngaphezu kwabo bonke abafazi bakhe nezancinza zakhe;
22URehobowamu wabeka u-Abiya, indodana kaMahakha, inhloko, abe yinhloko phakathi kwabafowabo, ngokuba wayecabanga ukumbeka inkosi.
23Wenza ngokuhlakanipha, wabahlakazela bonke abantwana bakhe emazweni onke akwaJuda nakwaBenjamini, emizini yonke ebiyelweyo; wabanika ukudla okuningi. Futhi wafisa abesifazane abaningi.
