2 Chronicles 21:1-17

21:1

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.

21:2

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>_.

21:3

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>_.

21:4

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>_.

21:5

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>_.

21:6

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>_.

21:7

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}

21:8

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}

21:9

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>_.

21:10

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>_.

21:11

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].

21:12

And there came
<0935> (8799)

a writing
<04385>

to him from Elijah
<0452>

the prophet
<05030>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of David
<01732>

thy father
<01>_,

Because thou hast not walked
<01980> (8804)

in the ways
<01870>

of Jehoshaphat
<03092>

thy father
<01>_,

nor in the ways
<01870>

of Asa
<0609>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

21:13

But hast walked
<03212> (8799)

in the way
<01870>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and hast made Judah
<03063>

and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>

to go a whoring
<02181> (8686)_,

like to the whoredoms
<02181> (8687)

of the house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>_,

and also hast slain
<02026> (8804)

thy brethren
<0251>

of thy father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

[which were] better
<02896>

than thyself:

21:14

Behold, with a great
<01419>

plague
<04046>

will the LORD
<03068>

smite
<05062> (8802)

thy people
<05971>_,

and thy children
<01121>_,

and thy wives
<0802>_,

and all thy goods
<07399>_:

{a great...: Heb. a great stroke}

21:15

And thou [shalt have] great
<07227>

sickness
<02483>

by disease
<04245>

of thy bowels
<04578>_,

until thy bowels
<04578>

fall out
<03318> (8799)

by reason of the sickness
<02483>

day
<03117>

by day
<03117>_.

21:16

Moreover the LORD
<03068>

stirred up
<05782> (8686)

against Jehoram
<03088>

the spirit
<07307>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

and of the Arabians
<06163>_,

that [were] near
<05921> <03027>

the Ethiopians
<03569>_:

21:17

And they came up
<05927> (8799)

into Judah
<03063>_,

and brake
<01234> (8799)

into it, and carried away
<07617> (8799)

all the substance
<07399>

that was found
<04672> (8737)

in the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

and his sons
<01121>

also, and his wives
<0802>_;

so that there was never a son
<01121>

left
<07604> (8738)

him, save Jehoahaz
<03059>_,

the youngest
<06996>

of his sons
<01121>_.

{carried...: Heb. carried captive} {Jehoahaz: also called, Ahaziah, or, Azariah}
