12:7  INkosi isibona ukuthi bazithobile, ilizwi leNkosi lafika kuShemaya lisithi: Bazithobile; kangiyikubabhubhisa, kodwa ngizabanika isilinganiso sokukhululwa, lolaka lwami kaluyikuthululelwa eJerusalema ngesandla sikaShishaki.

Ngoba uRehobhowamu wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amane lanye lapho esiba yinkosi, wabusa iminyaka elitshumi lesikhombisa eJerusalema, umuzi iNkosi eyayiwukhethile phakathi kwazo zonke izizwe zakoIsrayeli, ukubeka ibizo layo khona. Lebizo likanina lalinguNahama umAmonikazi.

12:14  Wasesenza okubi ngoba engalungisanga inhliziyo yakhe ukudinga iNkosi.
