Now Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with his fathers,¹ and was buried⁶⁹¹² with his fathers¹ in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David.¹⁷³² And Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.

And he had brethren²⁵¹ the sons¹¹²¹ of Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² Azariah,⁵⁸³⁸ and Jehiel,³¹⁷¹ and Zechariah,²¹⁴⁸ and Azariah,⁵⁸³⁸ and Michael,⁴³¹⁷ and Shephatiah:⁸²⁰³ all these were the sons¹¹²¹ of Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

And their father¹ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ them great⁷²²⁷ gifts⁴⁹⁷⁹ of silver,³⁷⁰¹ and of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and of precious things,⁴⁰³⁰ with fenced⁴⁶⁹⁴ cities⁵⁸⁹² in Judah:³⁰⁶³ but the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ he to Jehoram;³⁰⁸⁸ because he was the firstborn.¹⁰⁶⁰

Now when Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ was risen up⁶⁹⁶⁵ to the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ of his father,¹ he strengthened²³⁸⁸ himself, and slew²⁰²⁶ all his brethren²⁵¹ with the sword,²⁷¹⁹ and divers also of the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ was thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ eight⁸⁰⁸³ years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

And he walked³²¹² in the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ like as did⁶²¹³ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ahab:²⁵⁶ for he had the daughter¹³²³ of Ahab²⁵⁶ to wife:⁸⁰² and he wrought⁶²¹³ that which was evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸

Howbeit Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ would¹⁴ not destroy⁷⁸⁴³ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of David,¹⁷³² because of the covenant¹²⁸⁵ that he had made³⁷⁷² with David,¹⁷³² and as he promised⁵⁵⁹ to give⁵⁴¹⁴ a light⁵²¹⁶ to him and to his sons¹¹²¹ for ever.³⁶⁰⁵

In his days³¹¹⁷ the Edomites¹²³ revolted⁶⁵⁸⁶ from under the dominion³⁰²⁷ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and made⁴⁴²⁷ themselves a king.⁴⁴²⁸

Then Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ went forth⁵⁶⁷⁴ with his princes,⁸²⁶⁹ and all his chariots⁷³⁹³ with him: and he rose up⁶⁹⁶⁵ by night,³⁹¹⁵ and smote⁵²²¹ the Edomites¹²³ which compassed⁵⁴³⁷ him in, and the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of the chariots.⁷³⁹³

So the Edomites¹²³ revolted⁶⁵⁸⁶ from under the hand³⁰²⁷ of Judah³⁰⁶³ unto this day.³¹¹⁷ The same time⁶²⁵⁶ also did Libnah³⁸⁴¹ revolt⁶⁵⁸⁶ from under his hand;³⁰²⁷ because he had forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ Elohim⁴³⁰ of his fathers.¹

Moreover he made⁶²¹³ high places¹¹¹⁶ in the mountains²⁰²² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and caused the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ to commit fornication,²¹⁸¹ and compelled⁵⁰⁸⁰ Judah³⁰⁶³ thereto.

And there came⁹³⁵ a writing⁴³⁸⁵ to him from Elijah⁴⁵² the prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thus saith⁵⁵⁹ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ Elohim⁴³⁰ of David¹⁷³² thy father,¹ Because thou hast not walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² thy father,¹ nor in the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of Asa⁶⁰⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³

2 Kings 2:11

But hast walked³²¹² in the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and hast made Judah³⁰⁶³ and the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ to go a whoring,²¹⁸¹ like to the whoredoms²¹⁸¹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ahab,²⁵⁶ and also hast slain²⁰²⁶ thy brethren²⁵¹ of thy father's¹ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ which were better²⁸⁹⁶ than thyself:

Behold, with a great¹⁴¹⁹ plague⁴⁰⁴⁶ will Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ smite⁵⁰⁶² thy people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and thy children,¹¹²¹ and thy wives,⁸⁰² and all thy goods:⁷³⁹⁹

And thou shalt have great⁷²²⁷ sickness²⁴⁸³ by disease⁴²⁴⁵ of thy bowels,⁴⁵⁷⁸ until thy bowels⁴⁵⁷⁸ fall out³³¹⁸ by reason of the sickness²⁴⁸³ day³¹¹⁷ by day.³¹¹⁷

Moreover Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ stirred up⁵⁷⁸² against Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ the spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and of the Arabians,⁶¹⁶³ that were near⁵⁹²¹ the Ethiopians:³⁵⁶⁹

And they came up⁵⁹²⁷ into Judah,³⁰⁶³ and brake¹²³⁴ into it, and carried away⁷⁶¹⁷ all the substance⁷³⁹⁹ that was found⁴⁶⁷² in the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and his sons¹¹²¹ also, and his wives;⁸⁰² so that there was never a son¹¹²¹ left⁷⁶⁰⁴ him, save Jehoahaz,³⁰⁵⁹ the youngest⁶⁹⁹⁶ of his sons.¹¹²¹

And after³¹⁰ all this Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ smote⁵⁰⁶² him in his bowels⁴⁵⁷⁸ with an incurable³⁶⁹ disease.²⁴⁸³

And it came to pass, that in process of time,³¹¹⁷ after³³¹⁸ the end⁷⁰⁹³ of two⁸¹⁴⁷ years,³¹¹⁷ his bowels⁴⁵⁷⁸ fell out³³¹⁸ by reason⁵⁹⁷³ of his sickness:²⁴⁸³ so he died⁴¹⁹¹ of sore⁷⁴⁵¹ diseases.⁸⁴⁶³ And his people⁵⁹⁷¹ made⁶²¹³ no burning⁸³¹⁶ for him, like the burning⁸³¹⁶ of his fathers.¹

Thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ years old¹¹²¹ was he when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ eight⁸⁰⁸³ years,⁸¹⁴¹ and departed³²¹² without being desired.²⁵³² Howbeit they buried⁶⁹¹² him in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David,¹⁷³² but not in the sepulchres⁶⁹¹³ of the kings.⁴⁴²⁸
