13 Ngomnyaka wesi-14 wokubusa kweNkosi uHezekhiya, kwafika uSenakheribhi inkosi ye-Asiriya,+ wahlasela wonke amadolobho akoJuda avikelwe ngemiduli wawathumba.+

17 Ngakho wathuma inkosi yamaKhaledi+ ukuthi ibahlasele, yafika yabulala amajaha ngenkemba+ endlini engcwele.+ Kayizange izwele muntu kungelani lokuthi lijaha, yintombi, ngolupheleyo loba ngogulayo.+ UNkulunkulu wanikela konke esandleni sayo.+

19 Yatshisa indlu kaNkulunkulu weqiniso,+ yadiliza umduli weJerusalema+ futhi yatshisa ngomlilo yonke imiphotshongo eqinileyo. Yatshabalalisa konke okwakuligugu.+

27 “‘“Kodwa nxa lingayekela ukungilalela, lehluleke ukugcina usuku lweSabatha lungcwele, lithwale imithwalo liyingenise ngamagedi eJerusalema ngelanga leSabatha, ngizawatshisa ngomlilo amagedi eJerusalema ngitshise lezinqaba zayo+ futhi awusoze ucitshwe.”’”+

7 ngesikhathi amabutho eBhabhiloni esilwa leJerusalema lawo wonke amadolobho akoJuda ayesele.+ Ayesilwa leLakhishi+ le-Azekha+ ngoba yiwo wodwa amadolobho ayevikelwe ngemiduli ayesasele koJuda.
