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.

II Chronicles 21:18-20

Take notice of that because that kind of phrase usually indicates the regard in which he was held by his subjects. This sort of tragedy had its beginning in a very foolish arrangement of a marriage and had a very tragic results for Judah, because Jehoram preferred to follow his evil wife, rather than his godly father. And Jehoram's evil was so pernicious, it just kept growing and growing, so that the people would not bury him with the other kings. And so he died unregretted and unlamented. No one cried at his death, and yet he is on the list of Christ's forebears—this evil, evil man.
