7 Yehova ataona kuti adzichepetsa, anayankhula ndi Semaya kuti, “Pakuti adzichepetsa, Ine sindiwawononga koma posachedwapa ndiwapulumutsa. Sinditsanulira ukali wanga pa Yerusalemu kudzera mwa Sisaki. 8 Komabe iwo adzakhala pansi pa ulamuliro wake, kuti aphunzire kudziwa kusiyanitsa pakati pa kutumikira Ine ndi kutumikira mafumu a mayiko ena.”
9 Sisaki mfumu ya dziko la Igupto atathira nkhondo Yerusalemu, iye anatenga chuma cha mʼNyumba ya Yehova ndi chuma cha mʼnyumba yaufumu. Iye anatenga zinthu zonse kuphatikizapo zishango zagolide zimene Solomoni anapanga. 10 Ndipo mfumu inapereka zishango zamkuwa kwa oyangʼanira mʼmalo mwake ndipo iwo anazipereka kwa oyangʼanira alonda amene amayangʼanira pa chipata cha nyumba yaufumu. 11 Nthawi ina iliyonse imene mfumu ikupita ku Nyumba ya Yehova, alonda amapita nayo atanyamula zishango, ndipo kenaka amakazibwezera ku chipinda cha alonda.
12 Pakuti mfumu Rehobowamu inadzichepetsa, mkwiyo wa Yehova unamuchokera, sanawonongedweretu. Kunena zoona, munali zinthu zina zabwino mu Yuda.

Iye anali ndi zaka 41 pamene anakhala mfumu, ndipo analamulira zaka 17 mu Yerusalemu, mzinda wa Yehova umene anasankha pakati pa mafuko a Aisraeli mmene Yehova anakhazikikamo. Dzina la amayi ake linali Naama, amene anali Mwamoni. 14 Rehobowamu anachita zoyipa chifuwa mtima wake sunafunefune Yehova.

Panali nkhondo yosatha pakati pa Rehobowamu ndi Yeroboamu. 16 Rehobowamu anamwalira, ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda mu mzinda wa Davide. Ndipo mwana wake Abiya analowa ufumu mʼmalo wake.
