*
Now when Jehoram was risen up over the kingdom of his father ,
and had strengthened himself ,
he killed all his brothers with the sword ,
and also various of the rulers of Israel .
*
Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign ,
and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem .
*
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel ,
as did the house of Ahab ,
for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife .
And he did that which was evil in the sight of LORD .
*
However 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 lamp to him and to his sons always .
*
In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah ,
and made a king over themselves .
*
Then Jehoram passed over with his captains ,
and all his chariots with him .
And he rose up by night ,
and smote the Edomites that encompassed him around ,
and the captains of the chariots .
*
So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day .
Then Libnah revolted at the same time from under his hand because he had forsaken LORD ,
the God of his fathers .
*
Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah ,
and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot ,
and led Judah astray .
*
And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet ,
saying ,
Thus says LORD ,
the God of David thy father ,
Because thou have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father ,
nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah ,
*
but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel ,
and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot ,
like the house of Ahab did ,
and also have slain thy brothers of thy father '
s house who were better than thy

behold ,
LORD will smite thy people with a great plague ,
and thy sons ,
and thy wives ,
and all thy substance .
*
And thou shall have great sickness by disease of thy bowels until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness ,
day by day .
*
And LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines ,
and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians .
*
And they came up against Judah ,
and broke 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 has not been left a son to him ,
except Jehoahaz ,
the youngest
*
And after all this LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease .
*
And it came to pass ,
in process of time ,
at the end of two years ,
that his bowels fell out because of his sickness ,
and he died of severe diseases .
And his people made no burning for him like the burning of his fathers .
*
He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign ,
and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years .
And he departed without being wanted .
And they buried him in the city of David ,
but not in the sepulchers of the kings .
