13 NakuAmasa nize nithi,+ ‘Akulothambo lam nenyama yam na? Ngoko ngamana uThixo angenza kum aze ke ongezelele+ ukukwenza ukuba akuyi kusoloko uyintloko yomkhosi phambi kwam esikhundleni sikaYowabhi.’”+

10 Ke yena uAmasa, wayengalilumkelanga ikrele elalisesandleni sikaYowabhi; ngokokuze amhlabe+ ngalo esiswini, aza amathumbu akhe aphalala emhlabeni, yaye akuzange kufuneke nokuba enze kwakhona kuye. Waba ke uyafa. Waza uYowabhi noAbhishayi umntakwabo basukela uShebha unyana kaBhikeri.

23 Ke uYowabhi wayephezu komkhosi+ wonke wakwaSirayeli; uBhenaya+ unyana kaYehoyada+ wayephezu kwamaKereti+ naphezu kwamaPeleti.+
