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,
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.
