Context of 2 Chronicles 21:15
13Instead, you have followed the ways of the kings of Israel. You, like Ahab’s family, have caused Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to chase after foreign gods as if they were prostitutes. You have killed your brothers, your father’s family. Your brothers were better than you. 14The Lord will strike a great blow to your people, your sons, your wives, and all your property because you did this. You will suffer from a chronic intestinal disease until your intestines come out.” 16The Lord prompted the Philistines and the Arabs who lived near the people of Sudan to attack Jehoram. 17They fought against Judah, broke into the country, and took away everything that could be found in the royal palace. They even took Jehoram’s sons and wives. The only son left was Ahaziah, Jehoram’s youngest son.
