1
Then Jehoshaphat
slept
with his fathers
and was buried
with his fathers
in the city
of David,
and Jehoram
his son
became king
in his place.
2
He had brothers,
the sons
of Jehoshaphat
:
Azariah,
Jehiel,
Zechariah,
Azaryahu,
Michael
and Shephatiah.
All
these
were
the sons
of Jehoshaphat
king
of Israel.
3
Their father
gave
them many
gifts
of silver,
gold
and precious things,
with fortified
cities
in Judah,
but he
gave
the kingdom
to Jehoram
because
he was the firstborn.
4
Now when Jehoram
had taken
over
the kingdom
of his father
and made himself secure,
he killed
all
his brothers
with the sword,
and some
of the rulers
of Israel
also.
5
Jehoram
was thirty-two
years
old
when he became
king, and he reigned
eight
years
in Jerusalem.
6
He walked
in the way
of the kings
of Israel,
just
as the house
of Ahab
did
(for Ahab's
daughter
was his wife),
and he
did
evil
in the sight
of the LORD.
7
Yet the LORD
was not willing
to destroy
the house
of David
because
of the covenant
which
He had made
with David,
and since
He had promised
to give
a lamp
to him and his sons
forever.
8
In his days
Edom
revolted
against
the rule
of Judah
and set
up a king
over
themselves.
9
Then Jehoram
crossed over
with his commanders
and all
his chariots
with him. And he arose
by night
and struck down
the Edomites
who were surrounding
him and the commanders
of the chariots.
10
So Edom
revolted
against
Judah
to this
day.
Then
Libnah
revolted
at the same
time
against
his rule,
because
he had forsaken
the LORD
God
of his fathers.
11
Moreover,
he made
high places
in the mountains
of
Judah
,
and caused the inhabitants
of Jerusalem
to play the harlot
and led
Judah
astray.
12
Then a letter
came
to him from Elijah
the prophet
saying,
"Thus
says
the LORD
God
of
your father
David,
'Because
you have not walked
in the ways
of Jehoshaphat
your father
and the ways
of Asa
king
of Judah,
13
but have walked
in the way
of the kings
of Israel,
and have caused Judah
and the inhabitants
of Jerusalem
to play
the harlot
as the house
of Ahab
played
the harlot
,
and you have also
killed
your brothers,
your own family,
who were better
than
you,
14
behold,
the LORD
is going to strike
your people,
your sons,
your wives
and all
your possessions
with a great
calamity;
15
and you will suffer severe
sickness,
a disease
of
your bowels
,
until
your bowels
come
out because
of the
sickness,
day
by
day
.'"
16
Then the LORD
stirred
up against
Jehoram
the spirit
of the Philistines
and the Arabs
who
bordered
the Ethiopians;
17
and they came
against Judah
and invaded
it, and carried
away all
the possessions
found
in the king's
house
together
with his sons
and his wives,
so that no
son
was left
to him except
Jehoahaz,
the youngest
of his sons.
18
So after
all
this
the LORD
smote
him in his bowels
with an incurable
sickness.
19
Now it
came
about in the course
of time,
at the end
of two
years,
that his bowels
came
out because
of his sickness
and he died
in great
pain.
And his people
made
no
fire
for him like the
fire
for his fathers.
20
He was thirty-two
years old
when he became
king, and he reigned
in Jerusalem
eight
years;
and he departed
with no
one's regret,
and they buried
him in the city
of David,
but not in the tombs
of the kings.
