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.

²⁴Pea naʻe mohe ʻa ʻasi mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe fai hono putu ki he potu ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita ko ʻene tamai: pea naʻe pule ʻa Sihosafate ko hono foha, ko hono fetongi.

²⁶Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻi he hala ʻo ʻene tamai, pea ʻi he angahala ʻaia naʻa ne fakaangahala ai ʻa ʻIsileli.

²⁷Pea naʻe fakalangalanga tau kiate ia ʻe Paʻasa ko e foha ʻo ʻAhisa, ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsaka; pea naʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻe Paʻasa ʻi Kipitoni, ʻaia ʻoku ʻoe kakai Filisitia; he naʻe kāpui ʻa Kipitoni ʻaki ʻae tau ʻe Natapi pea mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē.

²⁸‌ʻIo, ʻi hono tolu ʻoe taʻu ʻa ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta naʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻe Paʻasa, mo ne totongi ai ia ʻi he pule.

²⁹Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, lolotonga ʻa ʻene pule ʻaʻana, naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻae fale kātoa ʻo Selopoami; naʻe ʻikai tuku kia Selopoami ha tokotaha naʻe kei mānava, ka naʻa ne fakaʻauha ia, ʻo fakatatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki ʻi heʻene tamaioʻeiki ko ʻAhisa ko e tangata Sailo:
