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 JehoshabeathH3090, the daughterH1323 of the kingH4428, tookH3947 JoashH3101 the sonH1121 of AhaziahH274, and stoleH1589 him from amongH8432 the king'sH4428 sonsH1121 that were slainH4191, and putH5414 him and his nurseH3243 in a bedchamberH2315+H4296. So JehoshabeathH3090, the daughterH1323 of kingH4428 JehoramH3088, the wifeH802 of JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548, (for she was the sisterH269 of AhaziahH274,) hidH5641 him fromH6440 AthaliahH6271, so that she slewH4191 him not.
Although my houseH1004 be not so with GodH410; yet he hath madeH7760 with me an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285, orderedH6186 in all things, and sureH8104: for this is all my salvationH3468, and all my desireH2656, although he make it not to growH6779.
And when thy daysH3117 be fulfilledH4390, and thou shalt sleepH7901 with thy fathersH1, I will set upH6965 thy seedH2233 afterH310 thee, which shall proceedH3318 out of thy bowelsH4578, and I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4467.
He shall buildH1129 an houseH1004 for my nameH8034, and I will stablishH3559 the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4467 forH5704 everH5769.
I will be his fatherH1, and he shall be my sonH1121. If he commit iniquityH5753, I will chastenH3198 him with the rodH7626 of menH582, and with the stripesH5061 of the childrenH1121 of menH120:
But my mercyH2617 shall not depart awayH5493 from him, as I tookH5493 it from SaulH7586, whom I put awayH5493 beforeH6440 thee.
And thine houseH1004 and thy kingdomH4467 shall be establishedH539 forH5704 everH5769 beforeH6440 thee: thy throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559 forH5704 everH5769.
According to all these wordsH1697, and according to all this visionH2384, so did NathanH5416 speakH1696 unto DavidH1732.
Let us go upH5927 against JudahH3063, and vexH6973 it, and let us make a breachH1234 therein for us, and setH4427 a kingH4428 in the midstH8432 of it, even the sonH1121 of TabealH2870: {vex: or, waken}
My mercyH2617 will I keepH8104 for him for evermoreH5769, and my covenantH1285 shall stand fastH539 with him.
His seedH2233 also will I makeH7760 to endure for everH5703, and his throneH3678 as the daysH3117 of heavenH8064.
If his childrenH1121 forsakeH5800 my lawH8451, and walkH3212 not in my judgmentsH4941;
If they breakH2490 my statutesH2708, and keepH8104 not my commandmentsH4687; {break: Heb. profane}
Then will I visitH6485 their transgressionH6588 with the rodH7626, and their iniquityH5771 with stripesH5061.
Nevertheless my lovingkindnessH2617 will I not utterly takeH6331 from him, nor suffer my faithfulnessH530 to failH8266. {will…: Heb. I will not make void from him} {to fall: Heb. to lie}
My covenantH1285 will I not breakH2490, nor alterH8138 the thing that is gone outH4161 of my lipsH8193.
HowbeitH7535 I will not rend awayH7167 all the kingdomH4467; but will giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626 to thy sonH1121 for DavidH1732 my servant'sH5650 sake, and for Jerusalem'sH3389 sake which I have chosenH977.
Thou hast made voidH5010 the covenantH1285 of thy servantH5650: thou hast profanedH2490 his crownH5145 by casting it to the groundH776.
And unto his sonH1121 will I giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626, that DavidH1732 my servantH5650 may have a lightH5216 alwayH3117 beforeH6440 me in JerusalemH3389, the cityH5892 which I have chosenH977 me to putH7760 my nameH8034 there. {light: Heb. lamp, or, candle}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; If ye can breakH6565 my covenantH1285 of the dayH3117, and my covenantH1285 of the nightH3915, and that there should not be dayH3119 and nightH3915 in their seasonH6256;
Then may also my covenantH1285 be brokenH6565 with DavidH1732 my servantH5650, that he should not have a sonH1121 to reignH4427 upon his throneH3678; and with the LevitesH3881 the priestsH3548, my ministersH8334.
As the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 cannot be numberedH5608, neither the sandH2344 of the seaH3220 measuredH4058: so will I multiplyH7235 the seedH2233 of DavidH1732 my servantH5650, and the LevitesH3881 that ministerH8334 unto me.
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
ConsiderestH7200 thou not what this peopleH5971 have spokenH1696, sayingH559, The twoH8147 familiesH4940 which the LORDH3068 hath chosenH977, he hath even cast them offH3988? thus they have despisedH5006 my peopleH5971, that they should be no more a nationH1471 beforeH6440 them.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; If my covenantH1285 be not with dayH3119 and nightH3915, and if I have not appointedH7760 the ordinancesH2708 of heavenH8064 and earthH776;
ThenH1571 will I cast awayH3988 the seedH2233 of JacobH3290, and DavidH1732 my servantH5650, so that I will not takeH3947 any of his seedH2233 to be rulersH4910 over the seedH2233 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3446, and JacobH3290: for I will cause their captivityH7622 to returnH7725+H7725, and have mercyH7355 on them.
Yet the LORDH3068 wouldH14 not destroyH7843 JudahH3063 for DavidH1732 his servant'sH5650 sake, as he promisedH559 him to giveH5414 him alwayH3117 a lightH5216, and to his childrenH1121. {light: Heb. candle, or, lamp}
The LORDH3068 hath swornH7650 in truthH571 unto DavidH1732; he will not turnH7725 from it; Of the fruitH6529 of thy bodyH990 will I setH7896 upon thy throneH3678. {body: Heb. belly}
There will I makeH6779 the hornH7161 of DavidH1732 to budH6779: I have ordainedH6186 a lampH5216 for mine anointedH4899. {lamp: or, candle}
His enemiesH341 will I clotheH3847 with shameH1322: but upon himself shall his crownH5145 flourishH6692.
