¹⁹Kuo ta fefuakavaʻaki ʻakitaua, pea pehē mo ʻeku tamai pea mo hoʻo tamai: “Pea vakai, kuo u fekau atu kiate koe ha meʻaʻofa ko e siliva mo e koula; haʻu ʻo maumauʻi ʻa hoʻo fuakava mo Paʻasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻalu ʻiate au.”

²⁰Ko ia naʻe tokanga ʻa Peni-Hatati ki he tuʻi ko ʻAsa, mo ne fekau atu ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki pule ʻoe kautau naʻe ʻiate ia ke tauʻi ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻa ne teʻia ʻa Isoni, mo Tani, mo ʻEpeli-Petemeʻaka, pea mo Kineloti kātoa, pea mo e fonua kotoa pē ʻo Nafitali.

²¹Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fanongo ki ai ʻa Paʻasa, naʻa ne tutuku mei heʻene langa ʻa Lama, pea nofo ia ʻi Tilisa.

²²Pea naʻe toki fai fono ʻe ʻAsa ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻo Siuta; naʻe ʻikai ha potu ʻe taʻekau: pea naʻa nau fetuku ʻo ʻave ʻae ngaahi maka ʻo Lama, pea mo hono ngaahi ʻakau, ʻaia naʻe langa ʻaki ia ʻe Paʻasa; pea naʻe langa ʻaki ia ʻe ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻa Kepa ʻo Penisimani, pea mo Misipa.

²³Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue naʻe fai ʻe ʻAsa, pea mo ʻene mālohi kātoa, mo ia fulipē naʻa ne fai, mo e ngaahi kolo naʻa ne langa, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta? Ka ʻi he kuonga ʻo ʻene motuʻa lahi naʻa ne mahakiʻia ʻi hono vaʻe.
