31 Yaye, ngokungathi yeyona nto ingenamsebenzi+ kuye ukuhamba ezonweni zikaYerobhoham+ unyana kaNebhati, wathabatha uIzebhele+ intombi kaEtebhahali ukumkani wamaSidon+ wamenza umfazi+ wakhe waza waqalisa ukuya kukhonza uBhahali+ nokuqubuda kuye.

4 Ngenxa yoko kwathi uIzebhele+ akubanqumla abaprofeti bakaYehova,+ uObhadiya wathabatha abaprofeti abalikhulu wabafihla emqolombeni ngamashumi amahlanu, yaye wayebabonelela ngesonka namanzi.)+

2 Yaye uIzebhele wathumela umthunywa kuEliya, esithi: “Mabenjenje oothixo,+ baze bongeze ngolu hlobo,+ ukuba ngeli xesha ngomso andiyi kuwenza umphefumlo wakho ube njengomphefumlo wabo ngabanye!”

7 Wandula ke uIzebhele umfazi wakhe wathi kuye: “Asinguwe na ngoku ongukumkani kwaSirayeli?+ Phakama, yidla isonka ichwayite intliziyo yakho. Ndiza kukunika ngokwam isidiliya sikaNabhoti umYizereli.”+

21 yaye abazange baguquke ekubulaleni+ kwabo nakuqheliselo lwabo lokusebenzelana nemimoya+ nakuhenyuzo lwabo nakubusela babo.
