Jehoram kills his brothers
Now Jehoshaphat died and was buried with his fathers in the City of David. And Jehoram his son ruled in his place. He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat — Azariah and Jehiel and Zechariah and Azariah and Michael and Shephatiah. All these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel. Their father gave them great gifts of silver and of gold and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah. But he gave the kingdom to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn. Now when Jehoram had got up over the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself and killed all his brothers with the sword, and some of the leaders of Israel too. Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, the way the house of Ahab did. Because he had the daughter of Ahab as his wife. And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord. But the Lord wouldn't wreck the house of David, because of the covenant he'd made with David, and because he'd promised to give a lamp to him and to his sons forever. In his days Edom rebelled from under the hand of Judah and made themselves a king. Then Jehoram went out with his leaders and all his chariots with him. And he got up by night and struck the Edomites who'd surrounded him, and the commanders of the chariots. Edom rebelled from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah rebelled at the same time from under his hand, because he'd left the Lord God of his fathers. What's more, he made worship shrines in the mountains of Judah, and made the people of Jerusalem go whoring, and pulled Judah away.

And their father gave them great gifts of silver and of gold and of precious things, with fortified towns in Judah. But he gave the kingdom to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn. Now when Jehoram had got up over the kingdom of his father, he made himself strong and killed all his brothers with the sword, and some of the leaders of Israel too. Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he started to rule, and he ruled eight years in Jerusalem. And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, the way the house of Ahab did. Because he had the daughter of Ahab as his wife. And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord. But the Lord wouldn't wreck the house of David, because of the covenant he'd made with David, and because he'd promised to give a lamp to him and to his sons forever. In his days Edom rebelled from under the hand of Judah and made themselves a king. Then Jehoram went out with his leaders and all his chariots with him. And he got up by night and struck the Edomites who'd surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots. So Edom rebelled from under the hand of Judah right to this day. Then Libnah rebelled at the same time from under his hand, because he'd left the Lord God of his fathers. What's more, he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the people of Jerusalem go whoring, and pulled Judah away.
Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead. And he had brethren the sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah: all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel. And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fenced cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram; because he was the firstborn. Now when Jehoram was risen up to the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren with the sword, and divers also of the princes of Israel. Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD. Howbeit the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a light to him and to his sons for ever. In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king. Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him in, and the captains of the chariots. So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. The same time also did Libnah revolt from under his hand; because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers. Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah thereto.

The writing from Elijah
A writing came to him from Elijah the prophet: This is what the Lord God of David your father says. Because you haven't followed the ways of Jehoshaphat your father or Asa king of Judah, But have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the people of Jerusalem go whoring the way the house of Ahab went whoring, and have killed your brothers of your father's house too, who were better than you — The Lord will strike your people with a great blow, and your children and your wives and everything you've got. You'll suffer a terrible disease in your intestines, until eventually they come out because of the disease. What's more, the Lord stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and of the Arabs who were near the Ethiopians. They came up into Judah and broke into it, and carried away everything they found in the king's house, and his sons too and his wives. So there wasn't a son left to him except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons. After all this the Lord struck him with an incurable disease of the intestines. After a while, at the end of two years, his intestines came out because of the disease. He died in terrible pain, and his people made no great fire in his honour like they had for his fathers. Jehoram was thirty-two when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. He died with no one sorry to see him go. They buried him in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
And a writing came to him from Elijah the prophet: This is what the Lord God of David your father says. Because you haven't walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father or in the ways of Asa king of Judah, but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the people of Jerusalem go whoring the way the house of Ahab went whoring, and have killed your brothers of your father's house too, who were better than you — look, the Lord will strike your people with a great blow, and your children and your wives and everything you've got. And you'll have a bad sickness in your bowels, till your bowels fall out because of the sickness, day by day. What's more, the Lord stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and of the Arabs who were near the Cushites. And they came up into Judah and broke into it, and carried away everything they found in the king's house, and his sons too and his wives. So there wasn't a son left to him except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons. And after all this the Lord struck him in his bowels with a sickness that couldn't be healed. And after a while, at the end of two years, his bowels fell out because of his sickness. So he died of bad diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers. He was thirty-two years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem eight years, and went with nobody sorry to see him go. But they buried him in the City of David, though not in the graves of the kings.
And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah, But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, like to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father’s house, which were better than thyself: Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods: And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day. Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were near the Ethiopians: And they came up into Judah, and brake into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king’s house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, save Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons. And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease. And it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness: so he died of sore diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers. Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being desired. Howbeit they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
