2 Chronicles 21:7-20

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}

21:18

And after
<0310>

all this the LORD
<03068>

smote
<05062> (8804)

him in his bowels
<04578>

with an incurable
<0369> <04832>

disease
<02483>_.

21:19

And it came to pass, that in process of time
<03117>_,

after
<03318> (8800) <06256>

the end
<07093>

of two
<08147>

years
<03117>_,

his bowels
<04578>

fell out
<03318> (8804)

by reason
<05973>

of his sickness
<02483>_:

so he died
<04191> (8799)

of sore
<07451>

diseases
<08463>_.

And his people
<05971>

made
<06213> (8804)

no burning
<08316>

for him, like the burning
<08316>

of his fathers
<01>_.

21:20

Thirty
<07970>

and two
<08147>

years old
<01121>

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

and he reigned
<04427> (8804)

in Jerusalem
<03389>

eight
<08083>

years
<08141>_,

and departed
<03212> (8799)

without being desired
<02532>_.

Howbeit they buried
<06912> (8799)

him in the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_,

but not in the sepulchres
<06913>

of the kings
<04428>_.

{without...: Heb. without desire}
