2 Chronicles 21:12-19
12Then a letter came to Jehoram from the prophet Elijah, saying: This is what the Lord, the God of your ancestor David says: “Because you have not walked in the ways of your father Jehoshaphat or in the ways of King Asa of Judah
13but have walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, have caused Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to prostitute themselves like the house of Ahab prostituted itself, and also have killed your brothers, your father’s family, who were better than you,
14the Lord is now about to strike your people, your sons, your wives, and all your possessions with a horrible affliction.
15You yourself will be struck with many illnesses, including a disease of the intestines, until your intestines come out day after day because of the disease.”
16The Lord roused the spirit of the Philistines and the Arabs who lived near the Cushites to attack Jehoram.
17So they went to war against Judah and invaded it. They carried off all the possessions found in the king’s palace and also his sons and wives; not a son was left to him except Jehoahaz, his youngest son.
18After all these things, the Lord afflicted him in his intestines with an incurable disease.
19This continued day after day until two full years passed. Then his intestines came out because of his disease, and he died from severe illnesses. But his people did not hold a fire in his honor like the fire in honor of his predecessors.
