2 Chronicles 21:15-20

15You yourself will suffer with a severe intestinal disease that will get worse each day until your bowels come out.”

16Then the Lord stirred up the Philistines and the Arabs, who lived near the Ethiopians, to attack Jehoram.

17They marched against Judah, broke down its defenses, and carried away everything of value in the royal palace, including the king’s sons and his wives. Only his youngest son, Ahaziah, was spared.

18After all this, the Lord struck Jehoram with an incurable intestinal disease.

19The disease grew worse and worse, and at the end of two years it caused his bowels to come out, and he died in agony. His people did not build a great funeral fire to honor him as they had done for his ancestors.

20Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. No one was sorry when he died. They buried him in the City of David, but not in the royal cemetery.
