3 Ngoko uSirayeli wazibandakanya noBhahali wasePehore;+ waza wavutha umsindo kaYehova kuSirayeli.+

40 Wandula ke uEliya wathi kubo: “Babambeni abaprofeti bakaBhahali! Ningavumeli namnye kubo abaleke!” Kwaoko bababamba, waza uEliya wabazisa entlanjeni yaseKishon,+ wababulalela apho ngogonyamelo.+

25 Kwathi kamsinya nje akuba egqibile ukwenza umnikelo otshiswayo, ngoko nangoko uYehu wathi kwiimbaleki nakubaphathi-mkhosi: “Ngenani, nibaxabele! Ningavumeli namnye ukuba aphume.”+ Yaye iimbaleki nabaphathi-mkhosi+ babaxabela ngohlangothi lwekrele baza babaphosela ngaphandle, baqhubeka bada baya kufikelela kwisixeko sendlu kaBhahali.

20 Hayi anditsho; kodwa ndithi izinto iintlanga ezizibingelelayo zizibingelela kwiidemon,+ kungekhona kuThixo; kwaye andifuni nibe nesabelo needemon.+
