2 Chronicles 21:1
|
|
And 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 Chronicles 21:2 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 21:3 |
|
And their father gave them great gifts, of silver,
and of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah: but the kingdom
gave he to Jehoram, because he was the first-born. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 21:4 |
|
Now when Jehoram was risen up over the kingdom
of his father, and had strengthened himself, he slew all his brethren with the
sword, and divers also of the princes of Israel. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 21:5 |
|
Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he
began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 21:6 |
|
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 Jehovah. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 21:7 |
|
Howbeit Jehovah 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 children alway. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 21:8 |
|
In his days Edom revolted from under the hand
of Judah, and made a king over themselves. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 21:9 |
|
Then Jehoram passed over with his captains,
and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites
that compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 21:10 |
|
So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah
unto this day: then did Libnah revolt at the same time from under his hand, because
he had forsaken Jehovah, the God of his fathers. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 21:11 |
|
Moreover he made high places in the mountains
of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot, and led Judah
astray. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 21:12 |
|
And there came a writing to him from Elijah
the prophet, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, the 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, |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 21:13 |
|
but hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel,
and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot, like
as the house of Ahab did, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father's house,
who were better than thyself: |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 21:14 |
|
behold, Jehovah will smite with a great plague
thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy substance; |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 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.
|
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 21:16 |
|
And Jehovah stirred up against Jehoram the spirit
of the Philistines, and of the Arabians that are beside the Ethiopians: |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 21:17 |
|
and they came up against 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. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 21:18 |
|
And after all this Jehovah smote him in his
bowels with an incurable disease. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 21:19 |
|
And it came to pass, in process of time, at
the end of two years, that his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and
he died of sore diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning
of his fathers. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 21:20 |
|
Thirty and two years old was he when he began
to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years: and he departed without being
desired; and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of
the kings. |
