10.
Pea hili eni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe pekia ʻae tuʻi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻi he pule ʻa hono foha ko Hanuni. 
Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe Tevita, “Te u fakahā ʻae ʻofa kia Hanuni ko e foha ʻo Naʻasi, koeʻuhi ko e fakahā ʻae ʻofa kiate au ʻe heʻene tamai.” Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Tevita ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ke nau fakafiemālieʻi ia koeʻuhi ko ʻene tamai. Pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Tevita ki he fonua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni. 
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he houʻeiki ʻoe fānau ʻo Hanuni ko honau ʻeiki, “ʻOku ke mahalo, kuo fai fakaʻapaʻapa ʻa Tevita ki hoʻo tamai, ʻi heʻene fekau mai ʻae kau fakafiemālie kiate koe? ʻIkai kuo fekau mai ʻe Tevita ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kiate koe, koeʻuhi ke nau hakule ʻae kolo, pea mamata ki ai, pea ke nau lavaʻi ia?” 
Ko ia naʻe puke ʻe Hanuni ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Tevita, mo ne tele fakapotu taha ʻa honau fakapau, mo ne tuʻusi fakavaeua ʻa honau ngaahi kofu vala, ʻo fai mei he tuʻungaiku, mo ne toki fekau ke nau ʻalu. 
Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko ʻo fakahā ia kia Tevita, naʻa ne fekau atu ha niʻihi ke fakafetaulaki atu kiate kinautolu, he naʻa nau mā lahi ʻaupito: pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “Mou tatali ʻi Seliko kaeʻoua ke toe tupu ʻa homou kava, pea mou toki haʻu.” 
¶ Pea ʻi he vakai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni kuo nau namukū ʻi he ʻao ʻo Tevita, naʻe fekau atu ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, mo nau totongi ki he kakai Silia naʻe nofo ʻi Pete-Lehopi, mo e kakai Silia ʻi Sopa, ko e kau tangata hāʻele ʻe toko ua mano, pea mei he tuʻi ko Meaka ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko taha afe, pea mo e kau tangata ʻe tokotaha mano mo e toko ua afe meia Isitopi. 
Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo ki ai ʻa Tevita, naʻa ne fekau atu ʻa Soape, pea mo ʻene kau tangata tau kotoa pē. 
Pea naʻe hū mai kituʻa ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea naʻa nau fakanofo ʻae tau ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matanikolo: ka naʻe tuʻu kehe fakataha ʻi he ʻataʻatā ʻae kakai Silia ʻo Sopa, pea mo Lehopi, pea mo Isitopi, pea mo Meaka. 
Pea ʻi heʻene mamata ʻe Soape kuo fakanofo mai ʻae tau mei muʻa pea mei mui, naʻa ne fili mai ʻae kau toʻa kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli naʻe ongoongoa, mo ne tuku ʻakinautolu ke tauʻi ʻae kakai Silia: 
Pea ko hono toe ʻoe kakai naʻa ne tuku ki he nima ʻo hono tokoua ko ʻApisai, koeʻuhi ke ne tauʻi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni. 
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Kapau ʻe mālohi fau ʻae kakai Silia kiate au, te ke toki tokoni mai ʻe koe: pea kapau ʻe mālohi fau kiate koe ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, te u toki haʻu au ʻo tokoni kiate koe. 
Mou lototoʻa, pea ke tau fai ʻo ngalingali tangata koeʻuhi ko hotau kakai, pea mo e ngaahi kolo ʻo hotau ʻOtua: pea ke fai ʻe Sihova ʻaia ʻoku lelei kiate ia.” 
Pea naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Soape, pea mo e kakai naʻe ʻiate ia, kenau tauʻi ʻae kakai Silia: pea naʻa nau hola mei hono ʻao. 
Pea ʻi he sio ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ʻoku hola ʻae kakai Silia, naʻa nau toki hola foki mei he ʻao ʻo ʻApisai, ʻonau hū ki he kolo. Ko ia naʻe foki mai ʻa Soape mei he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, ʻo ne haʻu ki Selūsalema. 
¶ Pea ʻi he vakai ʻe he kakai Silia kuo teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻa nau tānaki fakataha ʻakinautolu. 
Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Hetatesa, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻae kakai Silia naʻe nofo ʻi he tuʻa vaitafe: pea naʻa nau haʻu ki ʻElami; pea naʻe tataki ʻakinautolu ʻe Sopaki ko e ʻeiki pule ki he kau tau ʻa Hetatesa. 
Pea ʻi hono fakahā eni kia Tevita, naʻa ne tānaki fakataha ʻa ʻIsileli kātoa, pea naʻa nau āʻa atu ʻi Sioatani, ʻonau hoko atu ki ʻElami. Pea naʻe teuteuʻi ʻae tau ʻae kakai Silia kia Tevita, pea naʻa nau tau mo ia. 
Pea naʻe feholaki ʻae kakai Silia mei he ʻao ʻo Tevita: pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Tevita ʻa e kau tangata naʻe heka ʻi he ngaahi saliote ʻe fitungeau ʻoe kakai Silia, pea mo e kau heka hoosi ʻe toko fā mano, pea naʻa ne taaʻi ʻa Sopaki ko e ʻeiki pule ʻo ʻenau kau tau, ʻaia naʻe mate ʻi ai. 
Pea ʻi he sio ʻae haʻa tuʻi kotoa pē naʻe toka kia Hetatesa, kuo teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻa nau alea kenau melino mo ʻIsileli, pea naʻa nau toka mai kiate kinautolu. Ko ia naʻe manavahē ai ʻae kakai Silia ke toe tokoni ki he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.
