2 Chronicles 21:2-20

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. 9Then JehoramH3088 passedH5674 over with his captainsH8269, and allH3605 his chariotsH7393 with him: and he roseH6965 upH6965 by nightH3915, and smoteH5221 the EdomitesH123 which compassed him aboutH1961, and the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393. 10SoH3588 EdomH123 revoltedH6586 from underH8478 the handH3027 of JudahH3063, unto this dayH3117: then didH3117 LibnahH3841 revolt at the sameH1931 time from underH8478 his handH3027: becauseH3588 he had forsaken the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of his fathersH1. 11MoreoverH1571 he madeH6213 highH1116 placesH1116 in the mountainsH2022 of JudahH3063, and madeH6213 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 to go a whoring, and ledH5080 JudahH3063 astrayH5080. 12And there cameH935 a writingH4385 to him from ElijahH452 the prophetH5030, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, BecauseH834 thou hast notH3808 walkedH1980 in the waysH1870 of JehoshaphatH3092 thy fatherH1, norH3808 in the waysH1870 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; 13but hast walked in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, and hast madeH1571 JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 to go a whoring, like as the houseH1004 of AhabH256 did; and also hast slainH2026 thy brethrenH251 of thy father’sH1 houseH1004, whichH1004 were betterH2896 thanH4480 thyself: 14beholdH2009, the LORDH3068 will smiteH5062 with a greatH1419 plagueH4046 thy peopleH5971, and thy childrenH1121, and thy wivesH802, and allH3605 thy substance: 15and thou shalt have greatH7227 sicknessH2483 by diseaseH2483 of thy bowelsH4578, untilH5704 thy bowelsH4578 fall outH3318 by reasonH5921 of the sicknessH2483, dayH3117 by dayH3117. 16And the LORDH3068 stirredH5782 upH5921 againstH5921 JehoramH3088 the spiritH7307 of the PhilistinesH6430, and of the Arabians whichH834 are besideH5921 the EthiopiansH3569: 17and they cameH5927 upH5927 againstH5927 JudahH3063, and brake intoH5927 it, and carriedH5927 awayH7617 allH3605 the substance that was foundH4672 in the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and his sonsH1121 also, and his wivesH802; soH3808 that there was neverH3808 a sonH1121 leftH7604 him, save JehoahazH3059, the youngestH6996 of his sonsH1121. 18And afterH310 allH3605 this the LORDH3068 smoteH5062 him in his bowelsH4578 with an incurable diseaseH2483. 19And it cameH1961 to passH1961, in process of time, at the endH7093 of twoH8147 yearsH3117, that his bowelsH4578 fellH3318 outH3318 by reason of his sicknessH2483, and he diedH4191 of sore diseasesH8463. And his peopleH5971 madeH6213 noH3808 burningH8316 for him, like the burningH8316 of his fathersH1. 20ThirtyH7970 and twoH8147 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was he when he beganH1961 to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 eightH8083 yearsH8141: and he departed withoutH3808 beingH1961 desired; and they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, but notH3808 in the sepulchres of the kingsH4428.
