strkjv@2Chronicles:21:1 @ Now Jehoshaphat Y@howshaphat# slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram Y@howram# his son reigned in his stead.
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:2 @ And he had brethren the sons of Jehoshaphat Y@howshaphat#, Azariah, and Jehiel Y@chiy'el#, and Zechariah Z@karyah#, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah: all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat Y@howshaphat# 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 Y@huwdah#: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram Y@howram#; because he was the firstborn.
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:4 @ Now when Jehoram Y@howram# 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 Y@howram# was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem Y@ruwshalaim#.
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 Y@hovah#.
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:7 @ Howbeit the LORD Y@hovah# 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 Y@huwdah#, and made themselves a king.
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:9 @ Then Jehoram Y@howram# 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 Y@huwdah# unto this day. The same time also did Libnah revolt from under his hand; because he had forsaken the LORD Y@hovah# God of his fathers.
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:11 @ Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah Y@huwdah#, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem Y@ruwshalaim# to commit fornication, and compelled Judah Y@huwdah# thereto.
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:12 @ And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD Y@hovah# God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat Y@howshaphat# thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah Y@huwdah#,
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:13 @ But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah Y@huwdah# and the inhabitants of Jerusalem Y@ruwshalaim# 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 Y@hovah# 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 Y@hovah# stirred up against Jehoram Y@howram# the spirit of the Philistines P@lishtiy#, and of the Arabians, that were near #al# the Ethiopians:
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:17 @ And they came up into Judah Y@huwdah#, 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@how'achaz#, the youngest of his sons.
strkjv@2Chronicles:21:18 @ And after all this the LORD Y@hovah# smote him in his bowels with an incurable #ayin# 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 Y@ruwshalaim# eight years, and departed without being desired. Howbeit they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
