2 Chronicles 21:12-19
12Then a letterH4385 cameH935 to him from ElijahH452 the prophetH5030 sayingH559, “ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 GodH430 of your fatherH1 DavidH1732, ‘BecauseH8478H834 1you have not walkedH1980 in the waysH1870 of JehoshaphatH3092 your fatherH1 2and the waysH1870 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, 13but 3have walkedH1980 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, and have caused JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 to playH2181 the harlotH2181 4as the houseH1004 of AhabH256 playedH2181 the harlotH2181, and you 5have alsoH1571 killedH2026 your brothersH251, 6your own familyH1004H1, who were betterH2896 thanH4480 you, 14beholdH2009, the LordH3068 is going to strikeH5062 your peopleH5971, your sonsH1121, your wivesH802 and allH3605 your possessionsH7399 with a greatH1419 7calamityH4046; 15and 8you will suffer 9severeH7227 sicknessH2483, a diseaseH4245 of your bowelsH4578, untilH5704 your bowelsH4578 comeH3318 out becauseH4480 of the sicknessH2483, dayH3117 by dayH3117.’”
16Then 10the LordH3068 stirredH5782 up againstH5921 JehoramH3088 the spiritH7307 of the PhilistinesH6430 and 11the ArabsH6163 whoH834 12borderedH5921H3027 the EthiopiansH3569; 17and they cameH5927 against JudahH3063 and invadedH1234 it, and carriedH7617 away allH3605 the possessionsH7399 foundH4672 in the king’sH4428 houseH1004 togetherH1571 with his sonsH1121 and his wivesH802, so that noH3808 sonH1121 was leftH7604 to him exceptH3588H518 1314JehoahazH3059, the youngestH6996 of his sonsH1121.
18So afterH310 allH3605 thisH2088 the LordH3068 smoteH5062 him 15in his bowelsH4578 with an incurableH369H4832 sicknessH2483. 19Now it cameH1961 about in the courseH4480H3117 of timeH3117, at the endH7093 of twoH8147 yearsH3117, that his bowelsH4578 cameH3318 out becauseH5973 of his sicknessH2483 and he diedH4191 in greatH7451 painH8463. And his peopleH5971 madeH6213 noH3808 fireH8316 for him like 16the fireH8316 for his fathersH1.
