Context of 2 Chronicles 21:17
15and you will suffer a severe illness, an intestinal disease, until your intestines come out because of the sickness, day after day.’ ” 16Then the Lord stirred up against Jehoram the spirit (anger) of the Philistines and of the Arabs who bordered the Ethiopians. They came against Judah and invaded it, and carried away all the possessions found in the king’s house (palace), together with his sons and his wives; so there was not a son left to him except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons. 18After all this, the Lord struck Jehoram with an incurable intestinal disease. 19Now it came about in the course of time, at the end of two years, that his intestines came out because of his disease and he died in excruciating pain. And his people did not make a funeral fire to honor him, like the fire for his fathers.
