Chapter 21
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.
2
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.
3
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.
4
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.
5
Jehoram
was
thirty
and
two
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign,
and
he
reigned
eight
years
in
Jerusalem.
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.
7
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.
8
In
his
days
the
Edomites
revolted
from
under
the
dominion
of
Judah,
and
made
themselves
a
king.
9
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.
10
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.
11
Moreover
he
made
high
places
in
the
mountains
of
Judah,
and
caused
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
to
commit
fornication,
and
compelled
Judah
thereto.
12
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,
13
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:
14
Behold,
with
a
great
plague
will
the
Lord
smite
thy
people,
and
thy
children,
and
thy
wives,
and
all
thy
goods:
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.
16
Moreover
the
Lord
stirred
up
against
Jehoram
the
spirit
of
the
Philistines,
and
of
the
Arabians,
that
were
near
the
Ethiopians:
17
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.
18
And
after
all
this
the
Lord
smote
him
in
his
bowels
with
an
incurable
disease.
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.
20
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.
