Context of 2 Chronicles 21:16
14behold, Jehovah will smite with a great stroke thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy substance, 15and thyself with sore sicknesses, with a disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day. And Jehovah stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, who [are] near the Ethiopians; 17and they came up into Judah, and broke into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was no son left him, except Jehoahaz the youngest of his sons. 18And after all this, Jehovah smote him in his bowels with an incurable sickness.
