24 Kodwa abantu belo lizwe babaxabela bonke abo babemenzele iyelenqe+ uKumkani uAmon. Bandula abantu belo lizwe benza uYosiya+ unyana wakhe ukumkani esikhundleni sakhe.

22 UYosiya+ wayeneminyaka esibhozo ubudala ekuqaliseni kwakhe ukulawula, yaye walawula iminyaka engamashumi amathathu ananye eYerusalem. Igama likanina lalinguYedida intombi ka-Adaya waseBhotsekati.+

15 Isibingelelo esasiseBheteli,+ indawo ephakamileyo eyayenziwe nguYerobhoham+ unyana kaNebhati, owonisa uSirayeli,+ kwaneso sibingelelo nendawo ephakamileyo, wazidiliza. Wandula ke wayitshisa indawo ephakamileyo; wayisila yaluthuli waza wasitshisa isibonda esingcwele.

29 Ngemihla yakhe uFaro Neko+ ukumkani waseYiputa weza kukumkani waseAsiriya ngakuMlambo umEfrate,+ yaye uKumkani uYosiya waya kumhlangabeza;+ kodwa kamsinya akumbona wambulalela+ eMegido.+

33 Emva koko uYosiya washenxisa zonke izinto ezicekisekayo+ kuwo onke amazwe oonyana bakaSirayeli,+ yaye wenza ukuba bonke ababefunyanwa kwaSirayeli bakhonze, ukuba bakhonze uYehova uThixo wabo. Yonke imihla yakhe abaphambukanga ekulandeleni uYehova uTHIXO wookhokho babo.+
