2 Chronicles 21

1 Jehoram, succeeding Jehoshaphat, slayeth his brethren. 5 His wicked reign. 8 Edom and Libnah revolt. 12 The prophecy of Elijah against him in writing. 16 The Philistines and Arabians oppress him. 18 His incurable disease, infamous death, and burial.

 21:1 ¶ Now Iehoshaphat 3092 slept 7901 z8799 with x5973 his fathers, 1 and was buried 6912 z8735 with x5973 his fathers 1 in the citie 5892 of Dauid: 1732 and Iehoram 3088 his sonne 1121 reigned 4427 z8799 in his stead. x8478

 21:2 And he [had] brethren 251 the sonnes 1121 of Iehoshaphat, 3092 Azariah, 5838 and Iehiel, 3171 and Zechariah, 2148 and Azariah, 5838 and Michael, 4317 and Shephatiah: 8203 All x3605 these x428 [were] the sonnes 1121 of Iehoshaphat 3092 king 4428 of Israel. 3478

 21:3 And their father 1 gaue 5414 z8799 them great 7227 giftes 4979 of siluer 3701 and of golde, 2091 and of precious things, 4030 with x5973 fenced 4694 cities 5892 in Iudah: 3063 but the kingdome 4467 gaue 5414 z8804 hee to Iehoram, 3088 because x3588 he x1931 [was] the first borne. 1060

 21:4 Now when Iehoram 3088 was risen vp 6965 z8799 to x5921 the kingdome 4467 of his father, 1 he strengthened y2388 z8691 himselfe, x2388 and slew 2026 z8799 x853 all x3605 his brethren 251 with the sword, 2719 and [diuers] also x1571 of the Princes 8269 x4480 of Israel. 3478

 21:5 ¶ Iehoram 3088 [was] thirtie 7970 and two 8147 yeeres 8141 olde 1121 when hee began to reigne, 4427 z8800 and hee reigned 4427 z8804 eight 8083 yeeres 8141 in Ierusalem. 3389

 21:6 And he walked y3212 z8799 x1980 in the way 1870 of the kings 4428 of Israel, 3478 like as x834 did 6213 z8804 the house 1004 of Ahab: 256 for x3588 hee had x1961 the daughter 1323 of Ahab 256 to wife: 802 and he wrought 6213 z8799 that which [was] euill 7451 in the eyes 5869 of the LORD. 3068

 21:7 Howbeit the LORD 3068 would 14 z8804 not x3808 destroy 7843 z8687 x853 the house 1004 of Dauid, 1732 because of x4616 the couenant 1285 that x834 hee had made 3772 z8804 with Dauid, 1732 and as x834 hee promised, 559 z8804 to giue 5414 z8800 a light 5216 to him and to his sons 1121 for euer. 3117 x3605

 21:8 ¶ In his dayes 3117 the Edomites 123 reuolted 6586 z8804 from vnder x4480 x8478 the dominion 3027 of Iudah, 3063 and made 4427 z8686 x5921 themselues a king. 4428

 21:9 Then Iehoram 3088 went forth 5674 z8799 with x5973 his Princes, 8269 and all x3605 his charets 7393 with x5973 him: and he rose vp 6965 z8804 x1961 by night, 3915 and smote 5221 z8686 x853 the Edomites 123 which compassed x5437 x413 him in, y5437 z8802 and the captaines 8269 of the charets. 7393

 21:10 So the Edomites 123 reuolted 6586 z8799 from vnder x4480 x8478 the hand 3027 of Iudah 3063 vnto x5704 this x2088 day. 3117 The same x1931 time 6256 also did Libnah 3841 reuolt 6586 z8799 from vnder x4480 x8478 his hand, 3027 because x3588 he had forsaken 5800 z8804 x853 the LORD 3068 God 430 of his fathers. 1

 21:11 Moreouer, x1571 he x1931 made 6213 z8804 high places 1116 in the mountaines 2022 of Iudah, 3063 and caused x853 the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of Ierusalem 3389 to commit fornication, 2181 z8686 and compelled 5080 z8686 x853 Iudah 3063 [thereto].

 21:12 ¶ And there came 935 z8799 a writing 4385 to x413 him from Eliiah 452 x4480 the Prophet, 5030 saying, 559 z8800 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Dauid 1732 thy father, 1 Because x8478 x834 thou hast not x3808 walked 1980 z8804 in the wayes 1870 of Iehoshaphat 3092 thy father, 1 nor in the wayes 1870 of Asa 609 king 4428 of Iudah: 3063

 21:13 But hast walked y3212 z8799 x1980 in the way 1870 of the kings 4428 of Israel, 3478 and hast made x853 Iudah 3063 and the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of Ierusalem 3389 to goe a whoring, 2181 z8686 like to the whoredomes 2181 z8687 of the house 1004 of Ahab, 256 and also x1571 hast slaine 2026 z8804 x853 thy brethren 251 of thy fathers 1 house, 1004 which were better 2896 then x4480 thy selfe:

 21:14 Behold, x2009 with a great 1419 plague 4046 wil the LORD 3068 smite 5062 z8802 thy people, 5971 and thy children, 1121 and thy wiues, 802 and all x3605 thy goods. 7399

 21:15 And thou x859 [shalt haue] great 7227 sicknesse 2483 by disease 4245 of thy bowels, 4578 vntil x5704 thy bowels 4578 fall out, 3318 z8799 by reason of x4480 the sickenesse 2483 day 3117 by x5921 day. 3117

 21:16 ¶ Moreouer, the LORD 3068 stirred vp 5782 z8686 against x5921 Iehoram 3088 x853 the spirit 7307 of the Philistines, 6430 and of the Arabians, 6163 that x834 [were] neere 5921 3027 the Ethiopians. 3569

 21:17 And they came vp 5927 z8799 into Iudah, 3063 and brake y1234 z8799 into x1234 it, and caried away 7617 z8799 x853 all x3605 the substance 7399 that was found 4672 z8737 in the kings 4428 house, 1004 and his sonnes 1121 also x1571 and his wiues; 802 so that there was neuer x3808 a sonne 1121 left 7604 z8738 him, saue x3588 x518 Iehoahaz, 3059 the yongest 6996 of his sonnes. 1121

 21:18 ¶ And after 310 all x3605 this, x2063 the LORD 3068 smote 5062 z8804 him in his bowels, 4578 with an incurable 369 4832 disease. 2483

 21:19 And it came to passe, x1961 that in processe of time, 3117 x4480 after y3318 z8800 y6256 the end 7093 x6256 x3318 of two 8147 yeres, 3117 his bowels 4578 fell out 3318 z8804 by reason y5973 of x5973 his sickenesse: 2483 so hee dyed 4191 z8799 of sore 7451 diseases. 8463 And his people 5971 made 6213 z8804 no x3808 burning 8316 for him, like the burning 8316 of his fathers. 1

 21:20 Thirtie 7970 and two 8147 yeeres old 1121 was x1961 he when he began to reigne, 4427 z8800 and he reigned 4427 z8804 in Ierusalem 3389 eight 8083 yeeres, 8141 and departed y3212 z8799 x1980 without x3808 being desired: 2532 howbeit, they buried 6912 z8799 him in the citie 5892 of Dauid, 1732 but not x3808 in the sepulchres 6913 of the kings. 4428
