28 U-Arhazi+ bekaneminyaka ema-20 nakaba yikosi, wabusa iminyaka eli-16 eJerusalema. Akhenge enze okuhle emehlweni kaJehova njengombana kwenza ukhokhwakhe uDavida.+

3 Ngaphezu kwalokho, wathunyisa intuthu yomhlatjelo emRhobeni weNdodana kaHinomu,* wenza nomhlatjelo* ngamadodanakhe.+ Wenza izinto ezinyenyisako ebezenziwa ziintjhaba+ uJehova aziqotha phambi kwama-Israyeli.

33 UManase+ bekaneminyaka eli-12 nakaba yikosi, wabusa iminyaka ema-55 eJerusalema.+

6 Wenza amadodanakhe bona abe mhlatjelo*+ emRhobeni weNdodana kaHinomu;+ wenza imilingo,+ wathukula, wenza ubuloyi, wabeka abantu ababuza kwabafileko nababikezela ikusasa.+ Wenza okumbi emehlweni kaJehova ngezinga elikhulu khulu bona amsilinge.

31 Bakhe iindawo eziphakemeko eThofethi emRhobeni weNdodana kaHinomu,*+ bona batjhise amadodana namadodakazabo emlilweni,+ into engingakhenge ngibayale bona bayenze, engakhenge ifike nakancani ehliziywenami.’+
