@ Now
Jehoshaphat
slept
with his
fathers
, and was
buried
with his
fathers
in the
city
of
David
. And
Jehoram
his
son
reigned
in his stead.
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:2
@ And he had
brethren
the
sons
of
Jehoshaphat
,
Azariah
, and
Jehiel
Y@, and
Zechariah
, and
Azariah
, and
Michael
, and
Shephatiah
: all these were the
sons
of
Jehoshaphat
king
of
Israel
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:3
@ And their
father
gave
them
great
gifts
of
silver
, and of
gold
, and of precious
things
, with
fenced
cities
in
Judah
: but the
kingdom
gave
he to
Jehoram
; because he was the
firstborn
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:4
@ Now when
Jehoram
was risen
up
to the
kingdom
of his
father
, he
strengthened
himself, and
slew
all his
brethren
with the
sword
, and divers also of the
princes
of
Israel
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:5
@
Jehoram
was
thirty
and
two
years
old
when he began to
reign
, and he
reigned
eight
years
in
Jerusalem
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:6
@ And he
walked
in the
way
of the
kings
of
Israel
, like as
did
the
house
of
Ahab
: for he had the
daughter
of
Ahab
to
wife
: and he
wrought
that which was
evil
in the
eyes
of the
LORD
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:7
@ Howbeit the
LORD
would
not
destroy
the
house
of
David
, because of the
covenant
that he had
made
with
David
, and as he
promised
to
give
a
light
to him and to his
sons
for
ever
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:8
@ In his
days
the
Edomites
revolted
from under the
dominion
of
Judah
, and
made
themselves a
king
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:9
@ Then
Jehoram
went
forth
with his
princes
, and all his
chariots
with him: and he rose
up
by
night
, and
smote
the
Edomites
which compassed him
in
, and the
captains
of the
chariots
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:10
@ So the
Edomites
revolted
from under the
hand
of
Judah
unto this
day
. The same
time
also did
Libnah
revolt
from under his
hand
; because he had
forsaken
the
LORD
God
of his
fathers
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:11
@ Moreover he
made
high
places
in the
mountains
of
Judah
, and caused the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
to commit
fornication
, and
compelled
Judah
thereto.
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:12
@ And there
came
a
writing
to him from
Elijah
the
prophet
,
saying
, Thus
saith
the
LORD
God
of
David
thy
father
, Because thou hast not
walked
in the
ways
of
Jehoshaphat
thy
father
, nor in the
ways
of
Asa
king
of
Judah
,
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:13
@ But hast
walked
in the
way
of the
kings
of
Israel
, and hast made
Judah
and the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
to go a
whoring
, like to the
whoredoms
of the
house
of
Ahab
, and also hast
slain
thy
brethren
of thy
fathers
house
, which were
better
than thyself:
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:14
@ Behold, with a
great
plague
will the
LORD
smite
thy
people
, and thy
children
, and thy
wives
, and all thy
goods
:
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:15
@ And thou shalt have
great
sickness
by
disease
of thy
bowels
, until thy
bowels
fall
out
by reason of the
sickness
day
by
day
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:16
@ Moreover the
LORD
stirred
up
against
Jehoram
the
spirit
of the
Philistines
, and of the
Arabians
, that were
near
H3027the
Ethiopians
:
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:17
@ And they came
up
into
Judah
, and
brake
into it, and carried
away
all the
substance
that was
found
in the
kings
house
, and his
sons
also, and his
wives
; so that there was never a
son
left
him, save
Jehoahaz
Y@, the
youngest
of his
sons
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:18
@ And
after
all this the
LORD
smote
him in his
bowels
with an
incurable
H4832
disease
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:19
@ And it came to pass, that in process of
time
,
after
the
end
of
two
years
, his
bowels
fell
out
by
reason
of his
sickness
: so he
died
of
sore
diseases
. And his
people
made
no
burning
for him, like the
burning
of his
fathers
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:20
@
Thirty
and
two
years
old
was he when he began to
reign
, and he
reigned
in
Jerusalem
eight
years
, and
departed
without being
desired
. Howbeit they
buried
him in the
city
of
David

sepulchres
