2 Chronicles 21:4-20

Now when Jehoram
<03088>
was risen up
<06965> (8799)
to the kingdom
<04467>
of his father
<01>_,
he strengthened
<02388> (8691)
himself, and slew
<02026> (8799)
all his brethren
<0251>
with the sword
<02719>_,
and [divers] also of the princes
<08269>
of Israel
<03478>_.
Jehoram
<03088>
[was] thirty
<07970>
and two
<08147>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
eight
<08083>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And he walked
<03212> (8799)
in the way
<01870>
of the kings
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
like as did
<06213> (8804)
the house
<01004>
of Ahab
<0256>_:
for he had the daughter
<01323>
of Ahab
<0256>
to wife
<0802>_:
and he wrought
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] evil
<07451>
in the eyes
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
Howbeit the LORD
<03068>
would
<014> (8804)
not destroy
<07843> (8687)
the house
<01004>
of David
<01732>_,
because of the covenant
<01285>
that he had made
<03772> (8804)
with David
<01732>_,
and as he promised
<0559> (8804)
to give
<05414> (8800)
a light
<05216>
to him and to his sons
<01121>
for ever
<03117>_.
{light: Heb. lamp, or, candle}
In his days
<03117>
the Edomites
<0123>
revolted
<06586> (8804)
from under the dominion
<03027>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and made
<04427> (8686)
themselves a king
<04428>_.
{dominion: Heb. hand}
Then Jehoram
<03088>
went forth
<05674> (8799)
with his princes
<08269>_,
and all his chariots
<07393>
with him: and he rose up
<06965> (8804)
by night
<03915>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
the Edomites
<0123>
which compassed him in
<05437> (8802)_,
and the captains
<08269>
of the chariots
<07393>_.
So the Edomites
<0123>
revolted
<06586> (8799)
from under the hand
<03027>
of Judah
<03063>
unto this day
<03117>_.
The same time
<06256>
[also] did Libnah
<03841>
revolt
<06586> (8799)
from under his hand
<03027>_;
because he had forsaken
<05800> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of his fathers
<01>_.
Moreover he made
<06213> (8804)
high places
<01116>
in the mountains
<02022>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and caused the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>
to commit fornication
<02181> (8686)_,
and compelled
<05080> (8686)
Judah
<03063>
[thereto].
And there came
<0935> (8799)
a writing
<04385>
to him from Elijah
<0452>
the prophet
<05030>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of David
<01732>
thy father
<01>_,
Because thou hast not walked
<01980> (8804)
in the ways
<01870>
of Jehoshaphat
<03092>
thy father
<01>_,
nor in the ways
<01870>
of Asa
<0609>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
But hast walked
<03212> (8799)
in the way
<01870>
of the kings
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and hast made Judah
<03063>
and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>
to go a whoring
<02181> (8686)_,
like to the whoredoms
<02181> (8687)
of the house
<01004>
of Ahab
<0256>_,
and also hast slain
<02026> (8804)
thy brethren
<0251>
of thy father's
<01>
house
<01004>_,
[which were] better
<02896>
than thyself:
Behold, with a great
<01419>
plague
<04046>
will the LORD
<03068>
smite
<05062> (8802)
thy people
<05971>_,
and thy children
<01121>_,
and thy wives
<0802>_,
and all thy goods
<07399>_:
{a great...: Heb. a great stroke}
And thou [shalt have] great
<07227>
sickness
<02483>
by disease
<04245>
of thy bowels
<04578>_,
until thy bowels
<04578>
fall out
<03318> (8799)
by reason of the sickness
<02483>
day
<03117>
by day
<03117>_.
Moreover the LORD
<03068>
stirred up
<05782> (8686)
against Jehoram
<03088>
the spirit
<07307>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
and of the Arabians
<06163>_,
that [were] near
<05921> <03027>
the Ethiopians
<03569>_:
And they came up
<05927> (8799)
into Judah
<03063>_,
and brake
<01234> (8799)
into it, and carried away
<07617> (8799)
all the substance
<07399>
that was found
<04672> (8737)
in the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
and his sons
<01121>
also, and his wives
<0802>_;
so that there was never a son
<01121>
left
<07604> (8738)
him, save Jehoahaz
<03059>_,
the youngest
<06996>
of his sons
<01121>_.
{carried...: Heb. carried captive} {Jehoahaz: also called, Ahaziah, or, Azariah}
And after
<0310>
all this the LORD
<03068>
smote
<05062> (8804)
him in his bowels
<04578>
with an incurable
<0369> <04832>
disease
<02483>_.
And it came to pass, that in process of time
<03117>_,
after
<03318> (8800) <06256>
the end
<07093>
of two
<08147>
years
<03117>_,
his bowels
<04578>
fell out
<03318> (8804)
by reason
<05973>
of his sickness
<02483>_:
so he died
<04191> (8799)
of sore
<07451>
diseases
<08463>_.
And his people
<05971>
made
<06213> (8804)
no burning
<08316>
for him, like the burning
<08316>
of his fathers
<01>_.
Thirty
<07970>
and two
<08147>
years old
<01121>
was he when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
in Jerusalem
<03389>
eight
<08083>
years
<08141>_,
and departed
<03212> (8799)
without being desired
<02532>_.
Howbeit they buried
<06912> (8799)
him in the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>_,
but not in the sepulchres
<06913>
of the kings
<04428>_.
{without...: Heb. without desire}
