Ko e tapanekalé ke langa ʻi Sailo. Ko e ngaahi matakali ʻo Siuta, Ifalemi mo Manase kuo nau nofo ʻi honau ngaahi tofiʻa, ka ko e toenga ʻo e ngaahi matakali naʻa nau kei movete holo pe ʻi he fonuá. Ko Sailo ia ʻoku tuʻu ia ʻi he feituʻu maʻolunga ʻoku maile ia ʻe 15 ki he Tokelau ʻo Selusalemá. Ko Siuta ki he fakatonga ʻo Sailó pea ko Ifalemi mo Manase ki he Tokelau. Ko e ʻaʻake ʻoku totonu ke hiki mai ia ki he feituʻu ʻoku faingamalie ange ʻi Kilikali. Ko Sailo naʻe filiʻi ki he kaveinga ko iá, ʻikai ha talaʻa. Ko e tataki ia ʻa e ʻEikí. Ko e kolo ko ení ʻoku ʻi he senitā ia ʻo e fonuá pea ʻoku faingamalie ki he kotoa ʻo e ngaahi matakali ʻo ʻIsilelí, naʻe feʻunga ʻaupito ki he ʻaʻake mo e Tapanekale ki he langilangi mo maluʻi ʻa e kotoa ʻo e fonuá, mo fakamaʻoniʻoni ia, pea ʻoku totonu pe ʻene ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e fonuá. Ko Sailo, naʻe ʻi he tofiʻa ʻo Ifalemi, ko e matakali ia naʻe kau ki ai ʻa Siosiua. Ko e hingoa ʻo e koló ni ʻoku tatau ia mo e meʻa ne tomuʻa tala ʻe Sekope ʻa e Misaia (Sen 49:10). Mahalo pe ko e koló ni, naʻe ui pe ki he fatongiá ni ʻi he tuku ai ʻa e ʻaʻake mo hono ngaahi fatongiá, ʻo ne fakataipe ʻa hotau Fakamelino lahí ko e ʻEiki Misaia ʻi heʻene fai fakalelei ki he ʻOtuá maʻa kitautolu ʻo fou ʻi Heʻene fakalelei mo e hufia. Ko hoʻo maʻu ʻa e Misaiá ki hoʻo moʻuí, ko e kakato ia ʻa e Tapanekale ʻi Sailó. Kaekehe, naʻe tuʻu ʻi Sailo ʻa e Tapanekale, ʻo hoko ia ko e senitā faiʻangalotu ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he laungeauʻi taʻu kaeʻoua kuo toki hiki ki Selusalema ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Tevita. Ko e Tapanekalé, naʻe tauhi ki ai ʻa ʻIsilelí ʻo hangē ko e ʻapi ia ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he taimi naʻe ʻi he toafa ai ʻa ʻIsilelí, pea naʻe tauhi ai ʻa e ʻaʻake ʻo e kovinanite mo e ngaahi meʻa toputapu kehe. Ko e hingoa Tapanekale pe teniti feʻiloakiʻanga, ko hono ʻuhingá ke nau feohi ai mo e ʻOtuá pea ʻia Solomone, naʻá ne langa ʻe ia ʻa e temipalé naʻe tokonaki ʻe Tevita. Pea hiki leva ki ai ʻa e senitā faiʻangalotu ʻo ʻIsilelí. Ka ʻi he pekia ʻa Kalaisí naʻá ne fakatauʻatāinaʻi kitautolu mei he angahalá, kae fakamoʻua kitautolu ki Heʻene ngāué koeʻuhi ko ho sinó ko e temipale ia, ʻoku ʻafio ai ʻa e Laumalie Maʻoniʻoní, ʻi hoʻo tui falala kia Kalaisi (1 Kol 6:19,20).
