2 Chronicles 21:8-17
8In his daysH3117 the EdomitesH123 revoltedH6586 from under the dominionH3027 of JudahH3063, and madeH4427 themselves a kingH4428.1 9Then JehoramH3088 went forthH5674 with his princesH8269, and all his chariotsH7393 with him: and he rose upH6965 by nightH3915, and smoteH5221 the EdomitesH123 which compassed him inH5437, and the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393. 10So the EdomitesH123 revoltedH6586 from under the handH3027 of JudahH3063 unto this dayH3117. The same timeH6256 also did LibnahH3841 revoltH6586 from under his handH3027; because he had forsakenH5800 YhwhH3068 GodH430 of his fathersH1. 11Moreover he madeH6213 high placesH1116 in the mountainsH2022 of JudahH3063, and caused the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 to commit fornicationH2181, and compelledH5080 JudahH3063 thereto.
12And there cameH935 a writingH4385 to him from ElijahH452 the prophetH5030, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 GodH430 of DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, Because thou hast not walkedH1980 in the waysH1870 of JehoshaphatH3092 thy fatherH1, nor in the waysH1870 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, 13But hast walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, and hast made JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 to go a whoringH2181, like to the whoredomsH2181 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256, and also hast slainH2026 thy brethrenH251 of thy father’sH1 houseH1004, which were betterH2896 than thyself: 14Behold, with a greatH1419 plagueH4046 will YhwhH3068 smiteH5062 thy peopleH5971, and thy childrenH1121, and thy wivesH802, and all thy goodsH7399:2 15And thou shalt have greatH7227 sicknessH2483 by diseaseH4245 of thy bowelsH4578, until thy bowelsH4578 fall outH3318 by reason of the sicknessH2483 dayH3117 by dayH3117.
16Moreover YhwhH3068 stirred upH5782 against JehoramH3088 the spiritH7307 of the PhilistinesH6430, and of the ArabiansH6163, that were nearH3027H5921 the EthiopiansH3569: 17And they came upH5927 into JudahH3063, and brakeH1234 into it, and carried awayH7617 all the substanceH7399 that was foundH4672 in the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and his sonsH1121 also, and his wivesH802; so that there was never a sonH1121 leftH7604 him, save JehoahazH3059, the youngestH6996 of his sonsH1121.34
