2 Chronicles 21:1-8

1And JehoshaphatH3092 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732: and JehoramH3088 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his steadH8478.

2And he had brethrenH251 the sonsH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092, AzariahH5838, and JehielH3171, and ZechariahH2148, and AzariahH5838, and MichaelH4317, and ShephatiahH8203: allH3605 theseH428 were the sonsH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.

3And their fatherH1 gaveH5414 them greatH7227 giftsH4979, of silverH3701, and of goldH2091, and of preciousH4030 things, with fenced citiesH5892 in JudahH3063: but the kingdomH4467 gaveH5414 he to JehoramH3088, becauseH3588 he was the firstbornH1060.

4NowH1571 when JehoramH3088 was risenH6965 upH6965 over the kingdomH4467 of his fatherH1, and had strengthenedH2388 himselfH2388, he slewH2026 allH3605 his brethrenH251 with the swordH2719, and divers also of the princesH8269 of IsraelH3478.

5JehoramH3088 was thirtyH7970 and twoH8147 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 eightH8083 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389.

6And he walked in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, as didH6213 the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for he had the daughterH1323 of AhabH256 to wifeH802: and he didH6213 that whichH834 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.

7Howbeit the LORDH3068 would notH3808 destroyH7843 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, becauseH834 of the covenantH1285 that he had madeH3772 with DavidH1732, and as he promisedH559 to giveH5414 a lampH5216 to him and to his childrenH1121 alway.

8In his daysH3117 EdomH123 revoltedH6586 from underH8478 the handH3027 of JudahH3063, and made a kingH4428 over themselvesH5921.
