[1] Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Jehoram his son reigned in his place. [2] He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel. [3] Their father gave them great gifts of silver, of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn. [4] Now when Jehoram had risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and also some of the princes of Israel. [5] Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. [6] He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house, for he had Ahab’s daughter as his wife. He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight. [7] However Yahweh would not destroy David’s house, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a lamp to him and to his children always. [8] In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves. [9] Then Jehoram went there with his captains and all his chariots with him. He rose up by night and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, along with the captains of the chariots. [10] So Edom has been in revolt from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time from under his hand, because he had forsaken Yahweh, the God of his fathers. [11] Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem play the prostitute, and led Judah astray. [12] A letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, “Yahweh, the God of David your father, says, ‘Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah, [13] but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute like Ahab’s house did, and also have slain your brothers of your father’s house, who were better than yourself, [14] behold, Yahweh will strike your people with a great plague, including your children, your wives, and all your possessions; [15] and you will have great sickness with a disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day.’” [16] Yahweh stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians; [17] and they came up against Judah, broke into it, and carried away all the possessions that were found in the king’s house, including his sons and his wives, so that there was no son left to him except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons. [18] After all this Yahweh struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease. [19] In process of time, at the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died of severe diseases. His people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers. [20] He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. He departed with no one’s regret. They buried him in David’s city, but not in the tombs of the kings.
King James Version

Jehoram

[1] Now Jehoshaphat H3092 slept H7901 with H5973 his fathers, H1 and was buried H6912 with H5973 his fathers H1 in the city H5892 of David. H1732 And Jehoram H3088 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead. [2] And 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 [3] And their father H1 gave H5414 them great H7227 gifts H4979 of silver, H3701 and of gold, H2091 and of precious things, H4030 with H5973 fenced H4694 cities H5892 in Judah: H3063 but the kingdom H4467 gave H5414 he to Jehoram; H3088 because he was the firstborn. H1060 [4] Now when Jehoram H3088 was risen up H6965 to the kingdom H4467 of his father, H1 he strengthened H2388 himself, and slew H2026 all H3605 his brethren H251 with the sword, H2719 and divers also of the princes H8269 of Israel. H3478 [5] Jehoram 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 [6] And he walked H3212 in the way H1870 of the kings H4428 of Israel, H3478 like as did H6213 the house H1004 of Ahab: H256 for H3588 he had the daughter H1323 of Ahab H256 to wife: H802 and he wrought H6213 that which was evil H7451 in the eyes H5869 of the Lord. H3068 [7] Howbeit the Lord H3068 would H14 not H3808 destroy H7843 H853 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 light H5216§ to him and to his sons H1121 for ever. H3117 [8] In his days H3117 the Edomites H123 revolted H6586 from under the dominion H3027§ of Judah, H3063 and made H4427 themselves a king. H4428 [9] Then Jehoram H3088 went forth H5674 with H5973 his princes, H8269 and all his chariots H7393 with H5973 him: and he rose up H6965 by night, H3915 and smote H5221 H853 the Edomites H123 which compassed him in, H5437 and the captains H8269 of the chariots. H7393 [10] So the Edomites H123 revolted H6586 from under the hand H3027 of Judah H3063 unto H5704 this H2088 day. H3117 The same time H6256 also did Libnah H3841 revolt H6586 from under his hand; H3027 because H3588 he had forsaken H5800 H853 the Lord H3068 God H430 of his fathers. H1 [11] Moreover he made H6213 high places H1116 in the mountains H2022 of Judah, H3063 H853 and caused the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 to commit fornication, H2181 and compelled H5080 Judah H3063 thereto. [12] And there came H935 a writing H4385 to him from Elijah H452 the prophet, H5030 saying, H559 Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H3068 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 [13] but hast walked H3212 in the way H1870 of the kings H4428 of Israel, H3478 H853 and hast made Judah H3063 and the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 to go a whoring, H2181 like to the whoredoms H2181 of the house H1004 of Ahab, H256 and also hast slain H2026 H853 thy brethren H251 of thy father’s H1 house, H1004 which were better H2896 than thyself: [14] behold, with a great H1419 plague H4046§ will the Lord H3068 smite H5062 thy people, H5971 and thy children, H1121 and thy wives, H802 and all thy goods: H7399 [15] and thou shalt have great H7227 sickness H2483 by disease H4245 of thy bowels, H4578 until H5704 thy bowels H4578 fall out H3318 by reason of the sickness H2483 day H3117 by day. H3117 [16] Moreover the Lord H3068 stirred up H5782 against H5921 Jehoram H3088 H853 the spirit H7307 of the Philistines, H6430 and of the Arabians, H6163 that were near H5921 H3027 the Ethiopians: H3569 [17] and they came up H5927 into Judah, H3063 and brake H1234 into it, and carried away H7617§ all H3605 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 [18] And after H310 all H3605 this H2063 the Lord H3068 smote H5062 him in his bowels H4578 with an incurable H369 H4832 disease. H2483 [19] And it came to pass, that in process of time, H3117 after H3318 H6256 the end H7093 of two H8147 years, H3117 his bowels H4578 fell out H3318 by reason H5973 of his sickness: H2483 so 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 [20] Thirty 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 departed H3212 without being desired. H2532§ Howbeit they buried H6912 him in the city H5892 of David, H1732 but not in the sepulchres H6913 of the kings. H4428
