2 Chronicles 21:1-8
11Then Jehoshaphat 2lay down with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David, and his son Jehoram became king in his place. 2He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, 3Azaryahu, Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king 4of Israel. 3Their father gave them many gifts of silver, gold, and precious things, 5with fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram because he was the firstborn.
4Now when Jehoram had 6taken over the kingdom of his father and gathered courage, he 7killed all his brothers with the sword, and some of the leaders of Israel as well. 58Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem. 69He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, 10for Ahab’s daughter was his wife; and he did evil in the sight of the Lord. 7Yet the Lord was not willing to destroy the house of David because of the covenant which He had made with David, 11and because He had promised to give a lamp to him and his sons forever.
8In his days 12Edom broke away 13from the rule of Judah, and appointed a king over themselves.
