nasb @2Chronicles:20:1 @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 . nasb @2Chronicles:20:2 @He had brothers , the sons of Jehoshaphat - Azariah , Jehiel , Zechariah , Azaryahu , Michael and Shephatiah . All these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel . nasb @2Chronicles:20:3 @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 . nasb @2Chronicles:20:4 @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 . nasb @2Chronicles:20:5 @Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king , and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem . nasb @2Chronicles:20:6 @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 . nasb @2Chronicles:20:7 @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 . nasb @2Chronicles:20:8 @In his days Edom revolted against the rule of Judah and set up a king over themselves . nasb @2Chronicles:20:9 @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 . nasb @2Chronicles:20:10 @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 . nasb @2Chronicles:20:11 @Moreover , he made high places in the mountains of Judah , and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot and led Judah astray . nasb @2Chronicles:20:12 @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 , nasb @2Chronicles:20:13 @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 , nasb @2Chronicles:20:14 @behold , the LORD is going to strike your people , your sons , your wives and all your possessions with a great calamity ; nasb @2Chronicles:20:15 @and you will suffer severe sickness , a disease of your bowels , until your bowels come out because of the sickness , day by day .'" nasb @2Chronicles:20:16 @Then the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and the Arabs who bordered the Ethiopians ; nasb @2Chronicles:20:17 @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 . nasb @2Chronicles:20:18 @So after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable sickness . nasb @2Chronicles:20:19 @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 . nasb @2Chronicles:20:20 @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 .
