Ihleti ngasefasitelweni endlini yayo eJezreyeli, iNkhosi Ahabi yabona insimu yemagilebisi yaNabothi. Ahabi abesifuna lesivini futsi wetama kusitsenga kuNabothi. Kepha Nabothi wala kumtsengisela ngobe bekuphambene nemtsetfo waJehova kutsengisa lifa. Ahabi wamhlonipha yini Nabothi ngekwenta intfo lenhle? Cha. Ahabi wakwata kakhulu. Waphatseka kabi wangakhoni ngisho nekuphuma ekamelweni lakhe futsi wala nekudla.

Umfati wa-Ahabi lonenhlitiyo lembi, indlovukazi Jezebeli watsi kuye: ‘Wena uyinkhosi ka-Israyeli. Ungatfola noma yini loyifunako. Mine ngitakunika lesivini saNabothi waseJezreyeli.’ Wabhalela labadzala belidolobha incwadzi wabatjela kutsi ababeke Nabothi licala lekwetfuka Nkulunkulu futsi bamgcobe ngematje aze afe. Labadzala belidolobha benta loko lebekabatjele kona Jezebeli, wase utsi ku-Ahabi: ‘Nabothi sewufile. Lensimu yemagilebisi seyakho.’

Nabothi akusiye yena yedvwa umuntfu longenacala lowabulawa nguJezebeli. Banyenti bantfu lababulala labatsandza Jehova. Bebakhonta titfombe futsi enta naletinye tintfo letimbi. Jehova watibona tonkhe letintfo letimbi lebetentiwa nguJezebeli. Bekatamjezisa ngani?

Ngemva kwekufa kwa-Ahabi, indvodzana yakhe Jehoramu yaba yiNkhosi. Jehova watfumela Jehu kutsi ayojezisa Jezebeli nemndeni wakhe.

Jehu wagibela encoleni yakhe waya eJezreyeli lapho bekuhlala khona Jezebeli. Jehoramu waya encoleni yaJehu futsi wambuta watsi: ‘Ute ngekuthula yini?’ Jehu watsi: ‘Kungaba khona kanjani kuthula nangabe butsakatsi baJezebeli make wakho bubunyenti?’ Jehoramu wetama kujikisa Jehu kutsi abuyele emuva. Kepha Jehu wadubula Jehoramu ngebutjoki, wafa khona lapho.

 Jehu wase uya esigodlweni saJezebeli. Watsi nakeva kutsi Jehu uyeta, watilungisa kahle, wakama kahle netinwele takhe, wema ngasefasitelweni. Nakefika Jehu, Jezebeli wambingelela ngekumkhahlameta. Jehu wamemeta tisebenti taJezebeli lebetime eceleni kwakhe watsi: ‘Mjikijeleni phansi!’ Tamjikijela ngaphandle kwelifasitelo wawela phansi wafa.

Ngemuva kwaloko, Jehu wabulala emadvodzana a-Ahabi langu-70 futsi wacedza kukhonta kwaBhali eveni lonkhe. Uyabona yini kutsi Jehova wati konkhe futsi ngesikhatsi lesifanele uyabajezisa labo labenta tintfo letimbi?
