Berean Standard Bible
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
.
And Jehoshaphat rested
with his fathers and was buried with them
in the City of David .
And his son Jehoram
reigned in his place
.
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.
Jehoram’s
brothers
, the sons of Jehoshaphat ,
were
Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah; these were all
sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
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
.
Their father had
given
them many
gifts of silver and gold and precious things, as
well
as
the
fortified cities in Judah ;
but he
gave
the kingdom to Jehoram because he was the firstborn
.
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.
When Jehoram had
established
himself
over his father’s
kingdom
, he
strengthened himself by
putting
to
the
sword
all his brothers
along
with some
of the princes of Israel.
Jehoram was thirty and
two years old when he began
to
reign;
and he reigned eight
years
in Jerusalem.
Jehoram was thirty -
two years old when he became
king,
and he reigned in Jerusalem eight
years
.
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
.
And Jehoram
walked in the ways
of the kings of Israel, just
as the house of Ahab had
done.
For he married
a
daughter of Ahab and did evil in the sight of the
LORD
.
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
.
Yet
the
LORD
was
unwilling
to
destroy the house of David, because of the covenant He had made with David, and since
He had
promised to maintain
a lamp for
David
and his descendants
forever
.
In his
days Edom revolted
from
under
the hand of Judah ,
and made
a
king over
themselves
.
In the
days of
Jehoram,
Edom rebelled
against
the hand of Judah and appointed
their
own
king.
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
.
So
Jehoram crossed
into
Edom
with his officers
and all his chariots .
When
the
Edomites
surrounded
him and his
chariot
commanders,
he rose up and
attacked
by night.
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.
So to
this
day
Edom has
been
in
rebellion
against
the hand of Judah .
Likewise,
Libnah rebelled
against
his
rule
at the same time, because Jehoram
had forsaken the
LORD
, the God of his fathers.
Moreover
he
made
high places in
the mountains
of Judah ,
and
made
the inhabitants
of Jerusalem to play
the
harlot,
and led Judah astray.
Jehoram
had
also
built
high places on
the hills
of Judah ;
he
had
caused
the people
of Jerusalem to prostitute
themselves
and had
led Judah astray.
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,
Then
a letter
came
to Jehoram
from Elijah the prophet, which
stated:
“This
is
what
the
LORD
, the God of your
father David
, says:
‘You
have
not walked in the ways of your
father Jehoshaphat
or
of Asa king of Judah,
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:
but you
have
walked in the ways
of the kings of Israel and have
caused
Judah and the people
of Jerusalem to prostitute
themselves
, just
as the house of Ahab prostituted
itself.
You
have
also killed
your
brothers
, your
father’s
family,
who were better than you.
behold, Jehovah
will
smite
with
a
great
plague
thy
people, and
thy
children
, and
thy
wives, and all thy
substance;
So
behold, the
LORD
is
about
to
strike
your
people, your
sons
, your
wives, and all your
possessions
with
a
serious
blow.
and thou
shalt
have
great
sickness
by
disease of thy
bowels, until thy
bowels fall
out by
reason
of
the
sickness,
day
by
day
.
And day
after
day
you
yourself
will
suffer
from
a
severe
illness,
a
disease of your
bowels, until it
causes
your
bowels to
come
out. ’”
And
Jehovah
stirred up
against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines ,
and of
the
Arabians
that
are
beside
the Ethiopians:
Then
the
LORD
stirred against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and Arabs
who
lived
near
the Cushites.
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
.
So
they went
to
war
against Judah, invaded
it, and carried off
all the possessions
found in the king’s
palace
, along
with
his sons and wives; not
a son was
left to
him except
Jehoahaz, his youngest
.
And
after all this Jehovah
smote
him
in
his
bowels
with an incurable disease.
After all this ,
the
LORD
afflicted
Jehoram
with an incurable disease of
the
bowels
.
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.
This
continued
day
after
day
until
two full
years had
passed.
Finally
, his intestines
came
out because
of his disease
, and he died in
severe
pain
. And his people did
not
make
a
fire
in
his
honor
as
they
had
done
for his fathers.
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.
Jehoram
was
thirty -
two years old when he became
king
, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years .
He died,
to
no
one’s
regret,
and was
buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs
of the kings.
