Kwathi lapho uJoshuwa esekhulumile kubantu , abapristi abay isikhombisa bethwele amacilongo ayisikhombisa ejubili phambi kukaJehova badlula , babetha amacilongo, umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova wabalandela.

UGideyoni namadoda ayikhulu ayenaye base befika emaphethelweni ekamu ngasekuqaleni komlindo ophakathi , besand ukubeka abalindi ; babetha amacilongo, baphohloza izitsha abaziphetheyo ngezandla.

USadoki umpristi wathatha uphondo lwamafutha etendeni , wamgcoba uSolomoni. Babetha amacilongo , bonke abantu bathi : Mana njalo , nkosi Solomoni.

Bonke abantu benyuka emva kwakhe , abantu babetha imitshingo . Bathokoza ngokuthokoza okukhulu, kwaze kwangathi kuqhekezeka umhlaba ngomsindo wabo.

wabuka; bheka, inkosi yayimi ngasensikeni yayo ekungeneni , izikhulu nabamacilongo bengasenkosini ; bonke abantu bezwe bathokoza , bakhalisa amacilongo; abahlabeleli babetha izinto zokubethwa , bahola ukuhlabelela kwendumiso. U-Athaliya wayeseklebhula izingubo zakhe , wathi: Ngugobe! Ngugobe!

Lonke ibandla lakhuleka , abahlabeleli bahlabelela, abamacilongo babetha; konke kwaqhubeka waze waphela umnikelo wokushiswa.
