21:1 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.
21:2 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.
21:3 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.
21:4 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.
21:5 Jehoram
was
thirty
and
two
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
eight
years
in
Jerusalem.
21:6 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.
21:7 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.
21:8 In
his
days
Edom
revolted
from
under
the
hand
of
Judah,
and
made
a
king
over
themselves.
21:9 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.
21:10 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.
21:11 Moreover
he
made
high
places
in
the
mountains
of
Judah,
and
made
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
to
play
the
harlot,
and
led
Judah
astray.
21:12 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,
21:13 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:
21:14 behold,
Jehovah
will
smite
with
a
great
plague
thy
people,
and
thy
children,
and
thy
wives,
and
all
thy
substance;
21:15 and
thou
shalt
have
great
sickness
by
disease
of
thy
bowels,
until
thy
bowels
fall
out
by
reason
of
the
sickness,
day
by
day.
21:16 And
Jehovah
stirred
up
against
Jehoram
the
spirit
of
the
Philistines,
and
of
the
Arabians
that
are
beside
the
Ethiopians:
21:17 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.
21:18 And
after
all
this
Jehovah
smote
him
in
his
bowels
with
an
incurable
disease.
21:19 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.
21:20 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.
