2 Chronicles 21 — Scripture text (King James Version)
Now 3092 slept7901 with his fathers1, and was buried6912 with his fathers1 in the city5892 of 1732. And Jehoram3088 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead. And he had brethren251 the sons1121 of 3092, Azariah5838, and Jehiel3171, and 2148, and Azariah5838, and 4317, and Shephatiah8203: all these were the sons1121 of 3092 king4428 of 3478. And their father1 gave5414 them great7227 gifts4979 of silver3701, and of gold2091, and of precious things4030, with fenced4694 cities5892 in 3063: but the kingdom4467 gave5414 he to Jehoram3088; because he was the firstborn1060. Now when Jehoram3088 was risen up6965 to the kingdom4467 of his father1, he strengthened2388 himself, and slew2026 all his brethren251 with the 2719, and divers also of the princes8269 of 3478. Jehoram3088 was thirty7970 and two8147 years8141 old1121 when he began to reign4427, and he reigned4427 eight8083 years8141 in 3389. And he walked3212 in the way1870 of the kings4428 of 3478, like as did6213 the house1004 of 256: for he had the daughter1323 of 256 to wife802: and he wrought6213 that which was evil7451 in the eyes5869 of the LORD3068. Howbeit the LORD3068 would14 not destroy7843 the house1004 of 1732, because of the 1285 that he had made3772 with 1732, and as he promised559 to give5414 a light5216 to him and to his sons1121 for ever3117. light: Heb. , or, candle In his days3117 the 123 revolted6586 from under the dominion3027 of 3063, and made4427 themselves a king4428. dominion: Heb. hand Then Jehoram3088 went forth5674 with his princes8269, and all his chariots7393 with him: and he rose up6965 by night3915, and smote5221 the 123 which compassed him in5437, and the captains8269 of the chariots7393. So the 123 revolted6586 from under the hand3027 of 3063 unto this day3117. The same time6256 also did Libnah3841 revolt6586 from under his hand3027; because he had forsaken5800 the LORD3068 God430 of his fathers1. Moreover he made6213 high places1116 in the mountains2022 of 3063, and caused the inhabitants3427 of 3389 to commit fornication2181, and compelled5080 3063 thereto. And there came935 a writing4385 to him from 452 the prophet5030, saying559, Thus saith559 the LORD3068 God430 of 1732 thy father1, Because thou hast not walked1980 in the ways1870 of 3092 thy father1, nor in the ways1870 of 609 king4428 of 3063, But hast walked3212 in the way1870 of the kings4428 of 3478, and hast made 3063 and the inhabitants3427 of 3389 to go a whoring2181, like to the whoredoms2181 of the house1004 of 256, and also hast slain2026 thy brethren251 of thy father's1 house1004, which were better2896 than thyself: Behold, with a great1419 plague4046 will the LORD3068 smite5062 thy people5971, and thy children1121, and thy wives802, and all thy goods7399: a great: Heb. a great stroke And thou shalt have great7227 sickness2483 by disease4245 of thy bowels4578, until thy bowels4578 fall out3318 by reason of the sickness2483 day3117 by day3117. Moreover the LORD3068 stirred up5782 against Jehoram3088 the spirit7307 of the 6430, and of the Arabians6163, that were near5921 3027 the 3569: And they came up5927 into 3063, and brake1234 into it, and carried away7617 all the substance7399 that was found4672 in the king's4428 house1004, and his sons1121 also, and his wives802; so that there was never a son1121 left7604 him, save Jehoahaz3059, the youngest6996 of his sons1121. carried: Heb. carried captive : also called, Ahaziah, Chap.22.I. or, Azariah, ver.6. And after310 all this the LORD3068 smote5062 him in his bowels4578 with an incurable369 4832 disease2483. And it came to pass, that in process of time3117, after3318 6256 the end7093 of two8147 years3117, his bowels4578 fell out3318 by reason5973 of his sickness2483: so he died4191 of sore7451 diseases8463. And his people5971 made6213 no burning8316 for him, like the burning8316 of his fathers1. Thirty7970 and two8147 years old1121 was he when he began to reign4427, and he reigned4427 in 3389 eight8083 years8141, and departed3212 without being desired2532. Howbeit they buried6912 him in the city5892 of 1732, but not in the sepulchres6913 of the kings4428. without: Heb. without desire
