1 # Now Jehoshaphat <03092> slept <07901> (8799) with his fathers <01>, and was buried <06912> (8735) with his fathers <01> in the city <05892> of David <01732>. And Jehoram <03088> his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.
2 And he had brethren <0251> the sons <01121> of Jehoshaphat <03092>, Azariah <05838>, and Jehiel <03171>, and Zechariah <02148>, and Azariah <05838>, and Michael <04317>, and Shephatiah <08203>: all these were the sons <01121> of Jehoshaphat <03092> king <04428> of Israel <03478>.
3 And their father <01> gave <05414> (8799) them great <07227> gifts <04979> of silver <03701>, and of gold <02091>, and of precious things <04030>, with fenced <04694> cities <05892> in Judah <03063>: but the kingdom <04467> gave <05414> (8804) he to Jehoram <03088>; because he was the firstborn <01060>.
4 Now when Jehoram <03088> was risen up <06965> (8799) to the kingdom <04467> of his father <01>, he strengthened <02388> (8691) himself, and slew <02026> (8799) all his brethren <0251> with the sword <02719>, and divers also of the princes <08269> of Israel <03478>.
5 Jehoram <03088> was thirty <07970> and two <08147> years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800), and he reigned <04427> (8804) eight <08083> years <08141> in Jerusalem <03389>.
6 And he walked <03212> (8799) in the way <01870> of the kings <04428> of Israel <03478>, like as did <06213> (8804) the house <01004> of Ahab <0256>: for he had the daughter <01323> of Ahab <0256> to wife <0802>: and he wrought <06213> (8799) that which was evil <07451> in the eyes <05869> of the LORD <03068>.
7 Howbeit the LORD <03068> would <014> (8804) not destroy <07843> (8687) the house <01004> of David <01732>, because of the covenant <01285> that he had made <03772> (8804) with David <01732>, and as he promised <0559> (8804) to give <05414> (8800) a light <05216> to him and to his sons <01121> for ever <03117>.
8 In his days <03117> the Edomites <0123> revolted <06586> (8804) from under the dominion <03027> of Judah <03063>, and made <04427> (8686) themselves a king <04428>.
9 Then Jehoram <03088> went forth <05674> (8799) with his princes <08269>, and all his chariots <07393> with him: and he rose up <06965> (8804) by night <03915>, and smote <05221> (8686) the Edomites <0123> which compassed him in <05437> (8802), and the captains <08269> of the chariots <07393>.
10 So the Edomites <0123> revolted <06586> (8799) from under the hand <03027> of Judah <03063> unto this day <03117>. The same time <06256> also did Libnah <03841> revolt <06586> (8799) from under his hand <03027>; because he had forsaken <05800> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of his fathers <01>.
11 Moreover he made <06213> (8804) high places <01116> in the mountains <02022> of Judah <03063>, and caused the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389> to commit fornication <02181> (8686), and compelled <05080> (8686) Judah <03063> thereto.
12 # And there came <0935> (8799) a writing <04385> to him from Elijah <0452> the prophet <05030>, saying <0559> (8800), Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of David <01732> thy father <01>, Because thou hast not walked <01980> (8804) in the ways <01870> of Jehoshaphat <03092> thy father <01>, nor in the ways <01870> of Asa <0609> king <04428> of Judah <03063>,
13 But hast walked <03212> (8799) in the way <01870> of the kings <04428> of Israel <03478>, and hast made Judah <03063> and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389> to go a whoring <02181> (8686), like to the whoredoms <02181> (8687) of the house <01004> of Ahab <0256>, and also hast slain <02026> (8804) thy brethren <0251> of thy father's <01> house <01004>, which were better <02896> than thyself:
14 Behold, with a great <01419> plague <04046> will the LORD <03068> smite <05062> (8802) thy people <05971> , and thy children <01121>, and thy wives <0802>, and all thy goods <07399>:
15 And thou shalt have great <07227> sickness <02483> by disease <04245> of thy bowels <04578>, until thy bowels <04578> fall out <03318> (8799) by reason of the sickness <02483> day <03117> by day <03117>.
16 Moreover the LORD <03068> stirred up <05782> (8686) against Jehoram <03088> the spirit <07307> of the Philistines <06430>, and of the Arabians <06163>, that were near <05921> <03027> the Ethiopians <03569>:
17 And they came up <05927> (8799) into Judah <03063>, and brake <01234> (8799) into it, and carried away <07617> (8799) all the substance <07399> that was found <04672> (8737) in the king's <04428> house <01004>, and his sons <01121> also, and his wives <0802>; so that there was never a son <01121> left <07604> (8738) him, save Jehoahaz <03059>, the youngest <06996> of his sons <01121>.
18 And after <0310> all this the LORD <03068> smote <05062> (8804) him in his bowels <04578> with an incurable <0369> <04832> disease <02483>.
19 And it came to pass, that in process of time <03117>, after <03318> (8800) <06256> the end <07093> of two <08147> years <03117>, his bowels <04578> fell out <03318> (8804) by reason <05973> of his sickness <02483>: so he died <04191> (8799) of sore <07451> diseases <08463>. And his people <05971> made <06213> (8804) no burning <08316> for him, like the burning <08316> of his fathers <01>.
20 Thirty <07970> and two <08147> years old <01121> was he when he began to reign <04427> (8800), and he reigned <04427> (8804) in Jerusalem <03389> eight <08083> years <08141>, and departed <03212> (8799) without being desired <02532>. Howbeit they buried <06912> (8799) him in the city <05892> of David <01732>, but not in the sepulchres <06913> of the kings <04428>.
