Pea hili eni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe teʻia ʻe Tevita ʻae kakai Filisitia, mo ne ikuna ʻakinautolu, mo ne kapasia ʻa Kati mo hono ngaahi kolo mei he nima ʻoe kakai Filisitia. 
Pea naʻa ne teʻia ʻa Moape; pea naʻe hoko ʻae kakai Moape ko e kau hopoate kia Tevita, pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae ngaahi koloa. 
¶ Pea naʻe teʻia ʻe Tevita ʻa Hetatesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Sopa ʻo aʻu ki Hamati, lolotonga ʻa ʻene ʻalu ke fakamālohi hono puleʻanga ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ko ʻIufaletesi. 
Pea naʻe toʻo mai ʻe Tevita meiate ia ʻae ngaahi saliote ʻe afe, mo e kakai heka hoosi ʻe toko fitu afe, mo e kakai hāʻele ʻe toko ua mano: pea naʻe tuʻusi foki ʻe Tevita ʻae uoua ʻoe vaʻe ʻoe fanga hoosi kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi saliote, ka naʻa ne tuku ha hoosi ki he saliote ʻe teau. 
Pea ʻi he kuonga naʻe haʻu ai ʻae kakai Silia mei Tamasikusi, ke tokoni kia Hetatesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Sopa, naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Tevita ʻae kakai Silia ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko ua mano mo e ua afe. 
Hili ia naʻe tuku ʻe Tevita ha kautau ki Silia-Tamasikusi: pea naʻe hoko ʻae kakai Silia ko e kau hopoate kia Tevita, pea naʻa nau ʻomi koloa. Naʻe pehē ʻae fakamoʻui ʻa Tevita ʻe Sihova ʻi he potu kotoa pē naʻa ne ʻalu ki ai. 
Pea naʻe toʻo mai ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi sifa koula naʻe kofuʻaki ʻe he kakai ʻo Hetatesa, ʻo ne ʻomi ia ki Selūsalema. 
Pea mei Tipati foki, pea mei Kuni, ko e ongo kolo ʻa Hetatesa, naʻe ʻomi ʻe Tevita ʻae palasa lahi ʻaupito, ʻaia naʻe ngaohiʻaki ʻe Solomone ʻae fuʻu ʻaiʻanga vai lahi, mo e ngaahi pou, mo e ngaahi ipu palasa. 
¶ Pea ko eni, ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe Tou ko e tuʻi ʻo Hamati ki he teʻia ʻe Tevita ʻae kautau kotoa pē ʻo Hetatesa ko e tuʻi ʻa Sopa; 
Naʻa ne fekau ʻa Hatolami ko hono foha ke ʻalu kia Tevita, ke ʻaʻahi fakakāinga kiate ia, mo ne lea lelei kiate ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻene tauʻi ʻa Hetatesa, mo ne teʻia ia; (he naʻe faʻa tau ʻa Hetatesa mo Tou;) pea naʻe ʻoange mo ia ʻae ngaahi ipu koula mo e siliva mo e palasa. 
Naʻe fakatapui foki ia ʻe Tevita kia Sihova, ʻaia mo e siliva mo e koula naʻa ne ʻomi mei he ngaahi puleʻanga ko ia; mei ʻItomi, pea mo Moape, pea mei he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea mei he kakai Filisitia, pea mei ʻAmaleki. 
Pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe ʻApisai foki ko e tama ʻa Seluia ʻae kau ʻItomi ʻe tokotaha mano mo e toko valu afe ʻi he potu talalo ʻoe māsima. 
Pea naʻa ne fakanofo ʻae ngaahi kautau ʻi ʻItomi; pea naʻe hoko ʻo tamaioʻeiki kia Tevita ʻae kakai ʻItomi kotoa pē. naʻe pehē ʻae fakamoʻui ʻa Tevita ʻe Sihova ʻi he potu kotoa pē naʻa ne ʻalu ki ai. 
¶ Ko ia, naʻe pule ʻa Tevita ki ʻIsileli kātoa, mo ne fai ʻae fakamaau mo e pule totonu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ʻene kakai kotoa pē. 
Pea naʻe pule ʻa Soape ko e tama ʻa Seluia ki he kautau; pea ko Sihosafate ko e foha ʻo ʻAhilute ko e tangata tohi meʻa fakapuleʻanga ia. 
Pea ko Satoki ko e foha ʻo ʻAhitupe, mo ʻApimeleki ko e foha ʻo ʻApiata, ko e ongo taulaʻeiki ʻakinaua; pea ko Savisa ko e tangata tohi ia; 
Pea naʻe pule ʻa Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sihoiata ki he kakai Keliti mo e kakai Peleti; pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Tevita naʻe tuʻu ʻo ofi ki he tuʻi.
