41 Hao walio orodheshwa hapo kwa majina walikuja katika siku za Hezekia mfalme wa Yuda, na wakashambulia makazi ya Wahamu na Wameuni, ambao pia walikua hapo. Waliwaangamiza kabisa na kuishi hapo sababu walipata malisho kwa ajili ya mifugo yao.
And these who are written by name came in the days of Ezekias king of Juda, and they struck the people's houses, and the Minaeans whom they found there, and utterly destroyed them until this day: and they lived in their place, because [there was] pasture there for their cattle.
