2 Chronicles 21:12

Compare all

10 Thus Edom has been in revolt against Judah’s authority to this day. At that time Libnah revolted against his rule, because he had forsaken the Lord God of his fathers.

11 Moreover he made¹ high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to ^acommit harlotry, and led Judah astray.

12 And a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying,
Thus says the Lord God of your father David:
Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, or in the ways of Asa king of Judah,

13 but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have ^amade Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to ^bplay the harlot like the ^charlotry of the house of Ahab, and also have ^dkilled your brothers, those of your father’s household, who were better than yourself,

14 behold, the Lord will strike your people with a serious affliction—your children, your wives, and all your possessions;

15 and you will become very sick with a ^adisease of your intestines, until your intestines come out by reason of the sickness, day by day.

16 Moreover the ^aLord ^bstirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and the ^cArabians who were near the Ethiopians.

17 And they came up into Judah and invaded it, and carried away all the possessions that were found in the king’s house, and also ^ahis sons and his wives, so that there was not a son left to him except¹ Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.

18 After all this the Lord struck him ^ain his intestines with an incurable disease.

19 Then it happened in the course of time, after the end of two years, that his intestines came out because of his sickness; so he died in severe pain. And his people made no¹ burning for him, like ^athe burning for his fathers.

20 He was thirty-two years old when he became king. He reigned in Jerusalem eight years and, to no one’s sorrow, departed. However they buried him in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
