2 Chronicles 21

Jehoram Reigns in Judah

1 cJehoshaphat slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David, and Jehoram his son reigned in his place. 2He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah; all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of dIsrael.
That is, Judah
3Their father gave them great gifts of silver, gold, and valuable possessions, together with ffortified cities in Judah, but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn. 4When Jehoram had ascended the throne of his father and was established, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and also some of the princes of gIsrael. 5 hJehoram was ithirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 6 jAnd he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab had done, for kthe daughter of Ahab was his wife. And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord. 7Yet the Lord was not willing to destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and since he had promised to give la lamp to him and to his sons forever.

8In his days Edom revolted from the mrule of Judah and set up a king of their own. 9Then Jehoram passed over with his commanders and all his chariots, and he rose by night and struck the Edomites who had surrounded him and his chariot commanders. 10So Edom revolted from nthe rule of Judah to this day. At that time Libnah also revolted from his rule, because he had forsaken the Lord, the God of his fathers.

11Moreover, he made high places in the hill country of Judah and led the inhabitants of Jerusalem ointo whoredom and made Judah go astray. 12And a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, “Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father, pBecause you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, or qin the ways of Asa king of Judah, 13 rbut have walked in the way of the kings of Israel and have enticed Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem sinto whoredom, tas the house of Ahab led Israel into whoredom, and also you uhave killed your brothers, of your father’s house, who were better than you, 14behold, the Lord will bring a great plague on your people, your children, your wives, and all your possessions, 15and you yourself will have a severe sickness vwith a disease of your bowels, until your bowels come out because of the disease, day by day.’”

16 wAnd the Lord stirred up against Jehoram the anger
Hebrew spirit
of the Philistines and of ythe Arabians who are near the Ethiopians.
17And they came up against Judah and invaded it and carried away all the possessions they found that belonged to the king’s house, and also his sons and his wives, so that no son was left to him except zJehoahaz, his youngest son.

18And after all this the Lord struck him aain his bowels with an incurable disease. 19In the course of time, at the end of two years, his bowels came out because of the disease, and he died in great agony. His people made no fire in his honor, ablike the fires made for his fathers. 20 acHe was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he departed adwith no one’s regret. aeThey buried him in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
