Example: Amu-rĩ, Jehova Mũnene wa Ita nĩakagĩa na mũthenya wake wa gũũkĩrĩra mwĩtĩo wothe, na mwĩĩkĩrĩro, o na mwĩtũũgĩrio, namo nĩmakanyihio mothe; (For the L ord of hosts will have his day); Na gũgĩkinya atĩrĩ, atĩ thutha wa maũndũ macio ciana cia Moabi, o na ciana cia Amoni, irĩ hamwe na Aamoni amwe angĩ, igĩgĩthiĩ gũũkĩrĩra Jehoshafatu ihũrane mbaara nake. (The story may also be connected in some way with the campaign of Israel and Judah against Moab launched through the territory of Edom (2 Kgs 3:4–27). After this the Moabites, the Ammonites, and with them some Meunites came to fight against Jehoshaphat.)
