1 Now Jehoshaphat H3092 slept H7901 W-VQY3MS with H5973 PREP his fathers H1 , and was buried H6912 with H5973 PREP his fathers H1 in the city H5892 of David H1732 . And Jehoram H3088 his son H1121 CMS-3MS reigned H4427 in his stead H8478 .
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 H3605 NMS these H428 PMP were the sons H1121 of Jehoshaphat H3092 king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 LMS .
3 And their father H1 CMS-3MP gave H5414 W-VQQ3MS them great H7227 AFP gifts H4979 of silver H3701 , and of gold H2091 , and of precious things H4030 , with H5973 PREP fenced H4694 cities H5892 in Judah H3063 : but the kingdom H4467 gave H5414 VQQ3MS he to Jehoram H3088 ; because H3588 CONJ he H1931 PPRO-3MS was the firstborn H1060 D-NMS .
4 Now when Jehoram H3088 was risen up H6965 W-VQY3MS to H5921 PREP the kingdom H4467 of his father H1 CMS-3MS , he strengthened himself H2388 , and slew H2026 all H3605 NMS his brethren H251 NMP-3MS with the sword H2719 , and divers also H1571 W-CONJ of the princes H8269 of Israel H3478 LMS .
5 Jehoram H3088 was thirty H7970 MMP and two H8147 W-OFD years H8141 NFS old H1121 when he began to reign H4427 , and he reigned H4427 eight H8083 years H8141 NFP in Jerusalem H3389 .
6 And he walked H1980 W-VQY3MS in the way H1870 B-NMS of the kings H4428 CMP of Israel H3478 , like as H834 K-RPRO did H6213 W-VQY3MS the house H1004 CMS of Ahab H256 : for H3588 CONJ he had H1961 VQQ3FS the daughter H1323 CFS of Ahab H256 to wife H802 NFS : and he wrought H6213 W-VQY3MS that which was evil H7451 in the eyes H5869 B-CMP of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
7 Howbeit the LORD H3068 EDS would H14 not H3808 W-NPAR destroy H7843 the house H1004 CMS of David H1732 , because of H4616 L-CONJ the covenant H1285 D-NFS that H834 RPRO he had made H3772 with David H1732 , and as H834 RPRO he promised H559 VQQ3MS to give H5414 L-VQFC a light H5216 to him and to his sons H1121 forever H3117 D-NMP .
8 In his days H3117 the Edomites H123 revolted H6586 from under H8478 M-CFS the dominion H3027 CFS of Judah H3063 , and made H4427 themselves a king H4428 NMS .
9 Then Jehoram H3088 went forth H5674 with H5973 PREP his princes H8269 CMP-3MS , and all H3605 W-CMS his chariots H7393 with H5973 PREP-3MS him : and he rose up H1961 W-VQY3MS by night H3915 GMS , and smote H5221 W-VHY3MS the Edomites H123 which compassed H5437 D-VQPMS him in , and the captains H8269 CMP-3MS of the chariots H7393 .
10 So the Edomites H123 revolted H6586 from under H8478 M-CFS the hand H3027 CFS of Judah H3063 unto H5704 PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS . The same H1931 time H6256 also did Libnah H3841 revolt H6586 from under H8478 M-CFS his hand H3027 CFS-3MS ; because H3588 CONJ he had forsaken H5800 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of his fathers H1 .
11 Moreover H1571 CONJ he H1931 PPRO-3MS made H6213 VQQ3MS 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 W-VQY3MS a writing H4385 to H413 PREP-3MS him from Elijah H452 the prophet H5030 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of David H1732 thy father H1 NMS , Because H8478 NMS thou hast not H3808 ADV walked H1980 in the ways H1870 of Jehoshaphat H3092 thy father H1 NMS , nor in the ways H1870 of Asa H609 king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 ,
13 But hast walked H1980 W-VQQ3FS in the way H1870 B-NMS of the kings H4428 CMP 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 CMS of Ahab H256 , and also H1571 W-CONJ hast slain H2026 thy brethren H251 CMP-2MS of thy father H1 NMS \'s house H1004 CMS , which were better H2896 than H4480 PREP-2MS thyself :
14 Behold H2009 IJEC , with a great H1419 AFS plague H4046 will the LORD H3068 EDS smite H5062 thy people H5971 , and thy children H1121 , and thy wives H802 , and all H3605 WB-CMS thy goods H7399 :
15 And thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS shalt have great H7227 AMP sickness H2483 by disease H4245 of thy bowels H4578 , until H5704 PREP thy bowels H4578 fall out H3318 by reason of H4480 PREP the sickness H2483 day H3117 NMP by H5921 PREP day H3117 NMP .
16 Moreover the LORD H3068 EDS stirred up H5782 against H5921 PREP Jehoram H3088 the spirit H7307 NFS of the Philistines H6430 , and of the Arabians H6163 , that H834 RPRO were near H5921 PREP the Ethiopians H3569 :
17 And they came up H5927 into Judah H3063 , and broke into H1234 it , and carried away H7617 all H3605 NMS the substance H7399 that was found H4672 in the king H4428 D-NMS \'s house H1004 , and his sons H1121 CMP-3MS also H1571 W-CONJ , and his wives H802 ; so that there was never H3808 W-NPAR a son H1121 NMS left H7604 VNQ3MS him , save H518 PART Jehoahaz H3059 , the youngest H6996 of his sons H1121 .
18 And after H310 all H3605 NMS this H2063 DPRO the LORD H3068 EDS smote H5062 him in his bowels H4578 B-CMP-3MS with an incurable H369 disease H2483 .
19 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , that in process of time H3117 L-NMP , after the end H6256 of two H8147 ONUM years H3117 , his bowels H4578 fell out H3318 by reason of H5973 PREP his sickness H2483 : so he died H4191 W-VQY3MS of sore H7451 AMP diseases H8463 . And his people H5971 made H6213 VQQ3MP no H3808 W-NPAR burning H8316 for him , like the burning H8316 of his fathers H1 .
20 Thirty H7970 MMP and two H8147 W-OFD years old H1121 was H1961 VQQ3MS he when he began to reign H4427 , and he reigned H4427 in Jerusalem H3389 eight H8083 years H8141 NFP , and departed H1980 W-VQY3MS without H3808 W-NPAR being desired H2532 . Howbeit they buried H6912 him in the city H5892 of David H1732 , but not H3808 W-NPAR in the sepulchers H6913 of the kings H4428 .
