*
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 ,
*
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 father '
s house ,
which were better than thyself :
*
Behold ,
with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people ,
and thy children ,
and thy wives ,
and all thy goods :
*
And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels ,
until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day .
*
Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines ,
and of the Arabians ,
that were near the Ethiopians :
*
And they came up into Judah ,
and brake into it ,
and carried away all the substance that was found in the king '
s house ,
and his sons also ,
and his wives ;
so that there was never a son left him ,
save Jehoahaz ,
the youngest of his sons .
*
And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease .
*
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 .
