2 Chronicles 21

1And Jehoshaphat^H3092 slept^H7901 with his fathers^H1, and was buried^H6912 with his fathers^H1 in the city^H5892 of David^H1732: and Jehoram^H3088 his son^H1121 reigned^H4427 in his stead. 2And he had brethren^H251, the sons^H1121 of Jehoshaphat^H3092: Azariah^H5838, and Jehiel^H3171, and Zechariah^H2148, and Azariah^H5838, and Michael^H4317, and Shephatiah^H8203; all these were the sons^H1121 of Jehoshaphat^H3092 king^H4428 of Israel^H3478. 3And their father^H1 gave^H5414 them great^H7227 gifts^H4979, of silver^H3701, and of gold^H2091, and of precious things^H4030, with fortified^H4694 cities^H5892 in Judah^H3063: but the kingdom^H4467 gave^H5414 he to Jehoram^H3088, because he was the first-born^H1060. 4Now when Jehoram^H3088 was risen up^H6965 over the kingdom^H4467 of his father^H1, and had strengthened^H2388 himself, he slew^H2026 all his brethren^H251 with the sword^H2719, and divers also of the princes^H8269 of Israel^H3478. 5Jehoram^H3088 was thirty^H7970 and two^H8147 years^H8141 old^H1121 when he began to reign^H4427; and he reigned^H4427 eight^H8083 years^H8141 in Jerusalem^H3389. 6And he walked^H3212 in the way^H1870 of the kings^H4428 of Israel^H3478, as did^H6213 the house^H1004 of Ahab^H256; for he had the daughter^H1323 of Ahab^H256 to wife^H802: and he did^H6213 that which was evil^H7451 in the sight^H5869 of Jehovah^H3068. 7Howbeit Jehovah^H3068 would^H14 not destroy^H7843 the house^H1004 of David^H1732, because of the covenant^H1285 that he had made^H3772 with David^H1732, and as he promised^H559 to give^H5414 a lamp^H5216 to him and to his children^H1121 alway^H3117. 8In his days^H3117 Edom^H123 revolted^H6586 from under the hand^H3027 of Judah^H3063, and made^H4427 a king^H4428 over themselves. 9Then Jehoram^H3088 passed over^H5674 with his captains^H8269, and all his chariots^H7393 with him: and he rose up^H6965 by night^H3915, and smote^H5221 the Edomites^H123 that compassed him about^H5437, and the captains^H8269 of the chariots^H7393. 10So Edom^H123 revolted^H6586 from under the hand^H3027 of Judah^H3063 unto this day^H3117: then did Libnah^H3841 revolt^H6586 at the same time^H6256 from under his hand^H3027, because he had forsaken^H5800 Jehovah^H3068, the God^H430 of his fathers^H1. 11Moreover he made^H6213 high places^H1116 in the mountains^H2022 of Judah^H3063, and made the inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389 to play the harlot^H2181, and led^H5080 Judah^H3063 astray. 12And there came^H935 a writing^H4385 to him from Elijah^H452 the prophet^H5030, saying^H559, Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068, the God^H430 of David^H1732 thy father^H1, Because thou hast not walked^H1980 in the ways^H1870 of Jehoshaphat^H3092 thy father^H1, nor in the ways^H1870 of Asa^H609 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, 13but hast walked^H3212 in the way^H1870 of the kings^H4428 of Israel^H3478, and hast made Judah^H3063 and the inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389 to play the harlot^H2181, like^H2181 as the house^H1004 of Ahab^H256 did, and also hast slain^H2026 thy brethren^H251 of thy father's^H1 house^H1004, who were better^H2896 than thyself: 14behold, Jehovah^H3068 will smite^H5062 with a great^H1419 plague^H4046 thy people^H5971, and thy children^H1121, and thy wives^H802, and all thy substance^H7399; 15and thou shalt have great^H7227 sickness^H2483 by disease^H4245 of thy bowels^H4578, until thy bowels^H4578 fall out^H3318 by reason of the sickness^H2483, day^H3117 by day^H3117. 16And Jehovah^H3068 stirred up^H5782 against Jehoram^H3088 the spirit^H7307 of the Philistines^H6430, and of the Arabians^H6163 that are beside^H5921 the Ethiopians^H3569: 17and they came up^H5927 against Judah^H3063, and brake^H1234 into it, and carried away^H7617 all the substance^H7399 that was found^H4672 in the king's^H4428 house^H1004, and his sons^H1121 also, and his wives^H802; so that there was never a son^H1121 left^H7604 him, save Jehoahaz^H3059, the youngest^H6996 of his sons^H1121. 18And after^H310 all this Jehovah^H3068 smote^H5062 him in his bowels^H4578 with an incurable^H369 disease^H2483. 19And it came to pass, in process of time^H3117, at^H3318 the end^H7093 of two^H8147 years^H3117, that his bowels^H4578 fell out^H3318 by reason^H5973 of his sickness^H2483, and he died^H4191 of sore^H7451 diseases^H8463. And his people^H5971 made^H6213 no burning^H8316 for him, like the burning^H8316 of his fathers^H1. 20Thirty^H7970 and two^H8147 years old^H1121 was he when he began to reign^H4427, and he reigned^H4427 in Jerusalem^H3389 eight^H8083 years^H8141: and he departed^H3212 without being desired^H2532; and they buried^H6912 him in the city^H5892 of David^H1732, but not in the sepulchres^H6913 of the kings^H4428.
