¹ Now Jehoshaphat ^H3092 slept ^H7901 with his fathers, ^H1 and was buried ^H6912 with 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 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 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 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 destroy ^H7843 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 his princes, ^H8269 and all his chariots ^H7393 with him: and he rose up ^H6965 by night, ^H3915 and smote ^H5221 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 this day. ^H3117 The same time ^H6256 also did Libnah ^H3841 revolt ^H6586 from under his hand; ^H3027 because he had forsaken ^H5800 the LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of his fathers. ^H1

¹¹ Moreover he made ^H6213 high places ^H1116 in the mountains ^H2022 of Judah, ^H3063 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 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 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 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 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 Jehoram ^H3088 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 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 this 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
