Now JehoshaphatH3092 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732. And JehoramH3088 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And he had brethrenH251 the sonsH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092, AzariahH5838, and JehielH3171, and ZechariahH2148, and AzariahH5838, and MichaelH4317, and ShephatiahH8203: all these were the sonsH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
And their fatherH1 gaveH5414 them greatH7227 giftsH4979 of silverH3701, and of goldH2091, and of precious thingsH4030, with fencedH4694 citiesH5892 in JudahH3063: but the kingdomH4467 gaveH5414 he to JehoramH3088; because he was the firstbornH1060.
Now when JehoramH3088 was risen upH6965 to the kingdomH4467 of his fatherH1, he strengthenedH2388 himself, and slewH2026 all his brethrenH251 with the swordH2719, and divers also of the princesH8269 of IsraelH3478.
JehoramH3088 was thirtyH7970 and twoH8147 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 eightH8083 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389.
And he walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, like as didH6213 the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for he had the daughterH1323 of AhabH256 to wifeH802: and he wroughtH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068.
Howbeit the LORDH3068 wouldH14 not destroyH7843 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, because of the covenantH1285 that he had madeH3772 with DavidH1732, and as he promisedH559 to giveH5414 a lightH5216 to him and to his sonsH1121 for everH3117. {light: Heb. lamp, or, candle}
In his daysH3117 the EdomitesH123 revoltedH6586 from under the dominionH3027 of JudahH3063, and madeH4427 themselves a kingH4428. {dominion: Heb. hand}
Then JehoramH3088 went forthH5674 with his princesH8269, and all his chariotsH7393 with him: and he rose upH6965 by nightH3915, and smoteH5221 the EdomitesH123 which compassed him inH5437, and the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393.
So the EdomitesH123 revoltedH6586 from under the handH3027 of JudahH3063 unto this dayH3117. The same timeH6256 also did LibnahH3841 revoltH6586 from under his handH3027; because he had forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of his fathersH1.
Moreover he madeH6213 high placesH1116 in the mountainsH2022 of JudahH3063, and caused the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 to commit fornicationH2181, and compelledH5080 JudahH3063 thereto.
And there cameH935 a writingH4385 to him from ElijahH452 the prophetH5030, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, Because thou hast not walkedH1980 in the waysH1870 of JehoshaphatH3092 thy fatherH1, nor in the waysH1870 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063,
But hast walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, and hast made JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 to go a whoringH2181, like to the whoredomsH2181 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256, and also hast slainH2026 thy brethrenH251 of thy father'sH1 houseH1004, which were betterH2896 than thyself:
Behold, with a greatH1419 plagueH4046 will the LORDH3068 smiteH5062 thy peopleH5971, and thy childrenH1121, and thy wivesH802, and all thy goodsH7399: {a great…: Heb. a great stroke}
And thou shalt have greatH7227 sicknessH2483 by diseaseH4245 of thy bowelsH4578, until thy bowelsH4578 fall outH3318 by reason of the sicknessH2483 dayH3117 by dayH3117.
Moreover the LORDH3068 stirred upH5782 against JehoramH3088 the spiritH7307 of the PhilistinesH6430, and of the ArabiansH6163, that were nearH5921+H3027 the EthiopiansH3569:
And they came upH5927 into JudahH3063, and brakeH1234 into it, and carried awayH7617 all the substanceH7399 that was foundH4672 in the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and his sonsH1121 also, and his wivesH802; so that there was never a sonH1121 leftH7604 him, save JehoahazH3059, the youngestH6996 of his sonsH1121. {carried…: Heb. carried captive} {Jehoahaz: also called, Ahaziah, Chap.22.I. or, Azariah, ver.6.}
And afterH310 all this the LORDH3068 smoteH5062 him in his bowelsH4578 with an incurableH369+H4832 diseaseH2483.
And it came to pass, that in process of timeH3117, afterH3318+H6256 the endH7093 of twoH8147 yearsH3117, his bowelsH4578 fell outH3318 by reasonH5973 of his sicknessH2483: so he diedH4191 of soreH7451 diseasesH8463. And his peopleH5971 madeH6213 no burningH8316 for him, like the burningH8316 of his fathersH1.
ThirtyH7970 and twoH8147 years oldH1121 was he when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 eightH8083 yearsH8141, and departedH3212 without being desiredH2532. Howbeit they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, but not in the sepulchresH6913 of the kingsH4428. {without…: Heb. without desire}

But OmriH6018 wroughtH6213 evilH7451 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, and did worseH7489 than all that were beforeH6440 him.
For he walkedH3212 in all the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, and in his sinH2403 wherewith he made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398, to provoke the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to angerH3707 with their vanitiesH1892.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of OmriH6018 which he didH6213, and his mightH1369 that he shewedH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?
So OmriH6018 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 in SamariaH8111: and AhabH256 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And in the thirtyH7970+H8141 and eighthH8083 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began AhabH256 the sonH1121 of OmriH6018 to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478: and AhabH256 the sonH1121 of OmriH6018 reignedH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111 twentyH6242 and twoH8147 yearsH8141.
And AhabH256 the sonH1121 of OmriH6018 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 above all that were beforeH6440 him.
And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thingH7043 for him to walkH3212 in the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, that he tookH3947 to wifeH802 JezebelH348 the daughterH1323 of EthbaalH856 kingH4428 of the ZidoniansH6722, and wentH3212 and servedH5647 BaalH1168, and worshippedH7812 him. {as if…: Heb. was it a light thing, etc}
And he reared upH6965 an altarH4196 for BaalH1168 in the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, which he had builtH1129 in SamariaH8111.
And AhabH256 madeH6213 a groveH842; and AhabH256 didH6213 moreH3254 to provoke the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to angerH3707 than all the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 that were beforeH6440 him.
Now JehoshaphatH3092 had richesH6239 and honourH3519 in abundanceH7230, and joined affinityH2859 with AhabH256.
FortyH705 and twoH8147 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was AhaziahH274 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 oneH259 yearH8141 in JerusalemH3389. His mother'sH517 nameH8034 also was AthaliahH6271 the daughterH1323 of OmriH6018.
And he walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, as didH6213 the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for the daughterH1323 of AhabH256 was his wifeH802: and he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.
And I contendedH7378 with them, and cursedH7043 them, and smoteH5221 certainH582 of them, and plucked off their hairH4803, and made them swearH7650 by GodH430, saying, Ye shall not giveH5414 your daughtersH1323 unto their sonsH1121, nor takeH5375 their daughtersH1323 unto your sonsH1121, or for yourselves. {cursed: or, reviled}
Did not SolomonH8010 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sinH2398 by these things? yet among manyH7227 nationsH1471 was there no kingH4428 like him, who was belovedH157 of his GodH430, and GodH430 madeH5414 him kingH4428 over all IsraelH3478: nevertheless even himH1571 did outlandishH5237 womenH802 cause to sinH2398.
