2 Chronicles 21:1-11

Now Jehoshaphat
<03092>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

and was buried
<06912> (8735)

with his fathers
<01>

in the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_.

And Jehoram
<03088>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

And he had brethren
<0251>

the sons
<01121>

of Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,

Azariah
<05838>_,

and Jehiel
<03171>_,

and Zechariah
<02148>_,

and Azariah
<05838>_,

and Michael
<04317>_,

and Shephatiah
<08203>_:

all these [were] the sons
<01121>

of Jehoshaphat
<03092>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_.

And their father
<01>

gave
<05414> (8799)

them great
<07227>

gifts
<04979>

of silver
<03701>_,

and of gold
<02091>_,

and of precious things
<04030>_,

with fenced
<04694>

cities
<05892>

in Judah
<03063>_:

but the kingdom
<04467>

gave
<05414> (8804)

he to Jehoram
<03088>_;

because he [was] the firstborn
<01060>_.

Now when Jehoram
<03088>

was risen up
<06965> (8799)

to the kingdom
<04467>

of his father
<01>_,

he strengthened
<02388> (8691)

himself, and slew
<02026> (8799)

all his brethren
<0251>

with the sword
<02719>_,

and [divers] also of the princes
<08269>

of Israel
<03478>_.

Jehoram
<03088>

[was] thirty
<07970>

and two
<08147>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,

and he reigned
<04427> (8804)

eight
<08083>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And he walked
<03212> (8799)

in the way
<01870>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

like as did
<06213> (8804)

the house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>_:

for he had the daughter
<01323>

of Ahab
<0256>

to wife
<0802>_:

and he wrought
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the eyes
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

Howbeit the LORD
<03068>

would
<014> (8804)

not destroy
<07843> (8687)

the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>_,

because of the covenant
<01285>

that he had made
<03772> (8804)

with David
<01732>_,

and as he promised
<0559> (8804)

to give
<05414> (8800)

a light
<05216>

to him and to his sons
<01121>

for ever
<03117>_.

{light: Heb. lamp, or, candle}

In his days
<03117>

the Edomites
<0123>

revolted
<06586> (8804)

from under the dominion
<03027>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and made
<04427> (8686)

themselves a king
<04428>_.

{dominion: Heb. hand}

Then Jehoram
<03088>

went forth
<05674> (8799)

with his princes
<08269>_,

and all his chariots
<07393>

with him: and he rose up
<06965> (8804)

by night
<03915>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

the Edomites
<0123>

which compassed him in
<05437> (8802)_,

and the captains
<08269>

of the chariots
<07393>_.

So the Edomites
<0123>

revolted
<06586> (8799)

from under the hand
<03027>

of Judah
<03063>

unto this day
<03117>_.

The same time
<06256>

[also] did Libnah
<03841>

revolt
<06586> (8799)

from under his hand
<03027>_;

because he had forsaken
<05800> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of his fathers
<01>_.

Moreover he made
<06213> (8804)

high places
<01116>

in the mountains
<02022>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and caused the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>

to commit fornication
<02181> (8686)_,

and compelled
<05080> (8686)

Judah
<03063>

[thereto].
