Akabvunza vanhu, akabvunzazvevaprisita nevadzidzi veshoko venguva iyoyo, vanyori nevadzidziveshoko. Dhavhidha akabvunza kutanga, akati, “Kana, izvi,zviri zvaMwari, ngatiendei tinounza areka yesungano yaMwariwedu, kuno muguta, kuti tigobvunza Mwari tisati tawanazvatinoita.”49 Asi akati, mumazuva aSauro, “Vakarega kubvunzaMwari, naiyo—iyo—iyo areka, Urimi, Urimi Tumimi.

Havana kumbovimbisa kuRizarura kuna mambo, mumwaka.Mwari havashanduke, nepaduku pose.

Zvino, Mwari havana kumbovimbisa kuti Vachazarurazvakavanzika zvaVo kumadzimambo aVo, kuti Vaizozarurazvakavanzika zvaVo kuvanhu vaVo.56 Zvakada kuita semunguva yaMikaya, mwanakomanawaImura.

Zvino vakange vari vanhu vakuru.Vakange vasiri vaporofita venhema. Vakange vari vaporofitavechiHebheru, varume vechokwadi. Uye vaitobvunzira kunaShenevarume ava. Zvino vaiporofita. Asi, munoona, pakazouyamangange echokwadi, mumwe nomumwe wavo akange arikunze kweShoko pamwe nekuda kwaMwari. [Vende patepi—Mupepeti.]58 Nokuti Jehoshafati akabva Jerusarema kunosangana na—namambo Ahabhu, ndokupfeka nguwo dzavo, ndokugara pa—pamasuwo, ndokuunza vaporofita pamberi pavo.

Ndokuti, “Kuno vana vedu vanoda chingwa, uyehatina nzvimbo yakakwana yekurima kuti tiwane chingwa.Zvino muvengi wedu, vaFiristia, vari kuriritira vana

Akati,“Tingaende here tinotora nzvimbo yedu yatakapiwa naMwari?”59 Jehoshafati akati, “Hongu, ndichakubatsira. Tiri hama.

Zvisinei, Jehoshafati akange ari munhu akanaka, mambo,munhu wakarurama aida Mwari. Ahabhu akange ari mutendianongodziya. Saka vakavaunza, zvino Jehoshafati ndokuti,“Tererai, ngatibvunzei Mwari, kutanga. Tinofanira kuwanakunzwisisa pamusoro pazvo.” Munoona, dai Dhavhidha akaitazvakaitwa naJehoshafati! Akati, “Hatifanire here kuita izvi?”

Zvino nokukurumidza, nokuti aiva muIsraeri, Ahabhuakati, “Zvirokwazvo. Ndine vaHebheru mazana mana, vakaitasesu, vaporofita vechiHebheru vemusangano redu. Zvinondichavabvunza.

Zvino vaporofita ava vakauya vakaporofita, vakati,“Kwirako!
