Koma inu mwamusiya. 12 Mulungu ali nafe pakuti ndiye mtsogoleri wathu. Ansembe ake atanyamula malipenga, adzayimba mfuwu wankhondo kulimbana nanu. Inu Aisraeli musalimbane ndi Yehova, Mulungu wa makolo anu, pakuti simungathe kupambana.”
13 Tsono Yeroboamu anali atatumiza asilikali kumbuyo mowazungulira, kotero kuti iye ali kutsogolo kwa anthu a ku Yuda, anthu owabisalira anali kumbuyo kwawo. 14 Asilikali a Yuda anatembenuka ndipo anaona kuti nkhondo imachitikira kutsogolo ndi kumbuyo.
