1uAhabhi wamxelela uIzebhele konke awakwenzayo uEliya, nokubabulala kwakhe abaprofeti bonke ngentshuntshe.

2uIzebhele wathuma umthunywa kuEliya, esithi, Mabenjenje oothixo kum, bande, ukuba ngomso eli xa andiwuwenzanga umphefumlo wakho, ube njengomnye wabo.

3Uthe akubona oko, wesuka wasaba, esindisa umphefumlo wakhe, wafika eBher-shebha yakwaYuda, wamshiya khona umkhonzi wakhe.

4Wahamba entlango uhambo lwemini enye, wafika wahlala phantsi konwele; waye yena ecinga ukuba ubeya kufa; Wathi, Kwanele; ngoku, Yehova, wuthabathe umphefumlo wam; ngokuba andilungile kunobawo.

5Kwathi, elele phantsi konwele, kwabonakala isithunywa sezulu simchukumisa, sathi kuye, Vuka udle.

6Wakhangela, nantso iqebengwana elosiweyo lesonka, neselwa lamanzi phezu kwentloko yakhe. Watya, wasela, waphinda walala.

7Sabuya isithunywa sikaYehova okwesibini, samchukumisa, sathi, Vuka, udle; kuba uhambo lukhulu kakhulu kuwe.

8Wavuka, wadla, wasela, waza ngamandla oko kudla wahamba iimini ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane ukuya kutsho eHorebhe, intaba yoThixo oyinyaniso.

9Wangena emqolombeni, walala khona; Nalo izwi likaYehova lifika kuye, lathi kuye, Uyintoni na apha, Eliya?

10Wandula ke wathi: “Ndandikhweletela kakhulu ngoYehova uTHIXO wemikhosi, ngenxa yokuba oonyana bakaSirayeli bewushiyile umnqophiso wakho, bazidiliza izibingelelo zakho baza bababulala abaprofeti bakho ngekrele; ndasala ndedwa; kwaye bafuna ukuthabatha ubomi bam.

11Wathi, Phumani, nime entabeni phambi koYehova. Nanko uYehova edlula, kwavuthuza iintaba umoya omkhulu onamandla, wawaqhekeza amawa phambi koYehova; kodwa uYehova wayengekho kumoya, yaye emva komoya kwabakho inyikima kodwa uYehova wayengekho kuloo nyikima.

12Emva kwendudumo kwabakho umlilo; kodwa uYehova wayengekho emlilweni, yaye emva komlilo kwakukho ilizwi elizolileyo.

13Akukuva oko uEliya, wabugquma ubuso bakhe ngesambatho sakhe sangaphezulu, waphuma wema emnyango womqolomba nanko kufika kuye ilizwi, lisithi, Wenza ntoni na apho, Eliya?

14Wathi, Ndenziwe likhwele ngoYehova, uThixo wemikhosi; ngokuba bewushiyile umnqophiso wakho oonyana bakaSirayeli, nezibingelelo zakho bazidiliza, abaprofeti bakho bababulala ngekrele; ndasala ndedwa; kwaye bafuna ukuthabatha ubomi bam.

15Wathi uYehova kuye, Hamba ubuyele entlango yaseDamasko; ekufikeni kwakho, uthambise uHazayeli, abe ngukumkani wakwa-Aram.

16uYehu, unyana kaNimsi, wamthambisa ukuba abe ngukumkani wakwaSirayeli; uthambise uElisha, unyana kaShafati, waseAbelemhola, ukuba abe ngumprofeti esikhundleni sakho.

17Wothi uYehu ambulale osinde ekreleni likaHazayeli; osinde ekreleni likaYehu, uElisha uya kumbulala.

18Ke ndishiye amaSirayeli angamawaka asixhenxe, angaguqanga amadolo onke kuBhahali, imilebe yonke engekamanga.

19Wesuka khona, wafumana uElisha, unyana kaShafati, elima, phambi kwakhe ngamahashe alishumi elinamabini; yena engoweshumi elinesibini; uEliya wadlula ngakuye waza waphosa isambatho sakhe sangaphezulu phezu kwakhe.

20Wazishiya iinkabi, wabaleka emva koEliya, esithi, Makhe ndiye kwanga ubawo noma, ndikulandele ke. Wathi kuye, Buya; ndikwenze ntoni na?

21Wabuya ke ekumlandeleni, wazithabatha iinkomo, wabingelela, wayipheka inyama yazo ngezidlele zeenkomo, wanika abantu, badla. Wesuka ke, wamlandela uEliya, wamkhonza.
