Now Jehoshaphat
slept
with his fathers,
and was buried
with his fathers
in the city
of David.
And Jehoram
his son
reigned
in his stead.
And he had brethren
the sons
of Jehoshaphat,
Azariah,
and Jehiel,
and Zechariah,
and Azariah,
and Michael,
and Shephatiah:
all these were the sons
of Jehoshaphat
king
of Israel.

And their father
gave
them great
gifts
of silver,
and of gold,
and of precious things,
with fenced
cities
in Judah:
but the kingdom
gave
he to Jehoram;
because he was the firstborn.

Now when Jehoram
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.
Jehoram
was thirty
and 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,
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.

Howbeit the 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 light
to him and to his sons
for ever.

In his days
the Edomites
revolted
from under the dominion
of Judah,
and made
themselves a king.
Then Jehoram
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.

So the Edomites
revolted
from under the hand
of Judah
unto this day.
The same time
also did Libnah
revolt
from under his hand;
because he had forsaken
the LORD
God
of his fathers.

Moreover he made
high places
in the mountains
of Judah,
and caused the inhabitants
of Jerusalem
to commit fornication,
and compelled
Judah
thereto.
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,
Ēliou

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.

Thirty
and two
years old
was he when he began to reign,
and he reigned
in Jerusalem
eight
years,
and departed
without being desired.
Howbeit they buried
him in the city
of David,
but not in the sepulchres
of the kings.
