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}

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.
Lest thou makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, and they go a whoringH2181 afterH310 their godsH430, and do sacrificeH2076 unto their godsH430, and one callH7121 thee, and thou eatH398 of his sacrificeH2077;
And he saidH559, WhatH4100 hast thou doneH6213? the voiceH6963 of thy brother'sH251 bloodH1818 criethH6817 unto me from the groundH127. {blood: Heb. bloods}
And now art thou cursedH779 from the earthH127, which hath openedH6475 her mouthH6310 to receiveH3947 thy brother'sH251 bloodH1818 from thy handH3027;
WhenH3588 thou tillestH5647 the groundH127, it shall not henceforthH3254 yieldH5414 unto thee her strengthH3581; a fugitiveH5128 and a vagabondH5110 shalt thou be in the earthH776.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Behold, thou shalt sleepH7901 with thy fathersH1; and this peopleH5971 will rise upH6965, and go a whoringH2181 afterH310 the godsH430 of the strangersH5236 of the landH776, whither they goH935 to be amongH7130 them, and will forsakeH5800 me, and breakH6565 my covenantH1285 which I have madeH3772 with them. {sleep: Heb. lie down}
And they saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH251, We are verilyH61 guiltyH818 concerning our brotherH251, in thatH834 we sawH7200 the anguishH6869 of his soulH5315, when he besoughtH2603 us, and we would not hearH8085; therefore is this distressH6869 comeH935 upon us.
And it came to pass, when JoramH3088 sawH7200 JehuH3058, that he saidH559, Is it peaceH7965, JehuH3058? And he answeredH559, What peaceH7965, so long asH5704 the whoredomsH2183 of thy motherH517 JezebelH348 and her witchcraftsH3785 are so manyH7227?
And ReubenH7205 answeredH6030 them, sayingH559, Spake IH559 not unto you, sayingH559, Do not sinH2398 against the childH3206; and ye would not hearH8085? therefore, behold, also his bloodH1818 is requiredH1875.
And I sawH7200, when for all the causesH182 whereby backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 committed adulteryH5003 I had put her awayH7971, and givenH5414 her a billH5612 of divorceH3748; yet her treacherousH898 sisterH269 JudahH3063 fearedH3372 not, but wentH3212 and played the harlotH2181 also.
Thus GodH430 renderedH7725 the wickednessH7451 of AbimelechH40, which he didH6213 unto his fatherH1, in slayingH2026 his seventyH7657 brethrenH251:
And it came to pass through the lightnessH6963 of her whoredomH2184, that she defiledH2610 the landH776, and committed adulteryH5003 with stonesH68 and with stocksH6086. {lightness: or, fame}
And all the evilH7451 of the menH582 of ShechemH7927 did GodH430 renderH7725 upon their headsH7218: and upon them cameH935 the curseH7045 of JothamH3147 the sonH1121 of JerubbaalH3378.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, DoH6213 as he hath saidH1696, and fallH6293 upon him, and buryH6912 him; that thou mayest take awayH5493 the innocentH2600 bloodH1818, which JoabH3097 shedH8210, from me, and from the houseH1004 of my fatherH1.
And the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725 his bloodH1818 upon his own headH7218, who fellH6293 upon twoH8147 menH582 more righteousH6662 and betterH2896 than he, and slewH2026 them with the swordH2719, my fatherH1 DavidH1732 not knowingH3045 thereof, to wit, AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of IsraelH3478, and AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of JetherH3500, captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of JudahH3063.
Their bloodH1818 shall therefore returnH7725 upon the headH7218 of JoabH3097, and upon the headH7218 of his seedH2233 for everH5769: but upon DavidH1732, and upon his seedH2233, and upon his houseH1004, and upon his throneH3678, shall there be peaceH7965 forH5704 everH5769 from the LORDH3068.
For, behold, the LORDH3068 cometh outH3318 of his placeH4725 to punishH6485 the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776 for their iniquityH5771: the earthH776 also shall discloseH1540 her bloodH1818, and shall no more coverH3680 her slainH2026. {blood: Heb. bloods}
