Akaputsa nzvimbo dzakakwirira dzaiva pamasuo—pamukova weSuo raJoshua mubati weguta, kuruboshwe rwesuo reguta. ⁹Asi vaprista venzvimbo dzakakwirira havana kukwira kuaritari yaBaba vedu muJerusarema, kunyange vaidya chingwa chisina mbiriso pakati pehama dzavo dzaiva vaprista. ¹⁰Akasvibisa Tofeti, raiva muMupata weBheni Hinomu, kuti parege kuva nomunhu aipfuudza mwanakomana kana mwanasikana wake nomumoto kuna Moreki. ¹¹Akabvisa mabhiza akanga akumikidzwa kuzuva namadzimambo eJudha, pamukova weimba yaBaba vedu, pedyo nekamuri raNatani-Mereki mubati wenzvimbo yetemberi. Akapisa ngoro dzezuva nomoto. ¹²Aritari dzaiva pamusoro pedenga rekamuri rokumusoro raAhazi, dzakanga dzaitwa namadzimambo eJudha, nearitari dzakaitwa naManase muvazhe mbiri dzeimba yaBaba vedu, mambo akadziputsa; akadzipwanya ipapo akakanda guruva radzo muMupata weKidironi. ¹³Mambo akasvibisa nzvimbo dzakakwirira dzaiva kumabvazuva eJerusarema, zasi kweGomo reKuora, idzo Soromoni mambo waIsraeri akanga avakira Ashitoreti, chifananidzo chinonyangadza chavaSidhoni, naKemoshi, chifananidzo chinonyangadza chaMoabhu, naMirikomu, chifananidzo chinonyangadza chavaAmoni. ^a a v13 Gomo reKuora raiva mukwidza wezasi weGomo reMiorivhi, rakapiwa zita iri rinotyisa nokuti Soromoni akanga avaka nzvimbo dzokunamatira vamwari vokumwe ipapo. ¹⁴Akapwanya mbiru tsvene, akatema matanda aAshera, akazadza nzvimbo dzawo namapfupa avanhu.

¹⁵Kunyange aritari yeBheteri—nzvimbo yakakwirira yakaitwa naJerobhoamu mwanakomana waNebhati, iye akatungamirira Israeri muchivi—aritari iyoyo nenzvimbo yakakwirira akazviputsa, akapisa nzvimbo yakakwirira, akaikuya kuva guruva, akapisa danda raAshera. ¹⁶Josiya paakatendeuka akaona makuva aiva pachikomo, akatuma vanhu kuti vabudise mapfupa, akaapisa paaritari, achiisvibisa—achizadzisa shoko raBaba vedu rakaparidzwa nomunhu waMwari paakafanotaura zvinhu izvi. ¹⁷Akabvunza akati, “Mucherechedzo wei uyu wandinoona?” Varume veguta vakati, “Iguva romunhu waMwari akabva kuJudha akaparidza pamusoro pearitari yeBheteri zvinhu izvozvo zvamaita.”
