Contextual Overview

¹² And a writing came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, So says Jehovah, the God of your father David, Because you have not walked in the ways of your father Jehoshaphat, and in the ways of Asa the king of Judah, ¹³ and you walk in the way of the kings of Israel, and caused Judah and the people of Jerusalem to commit fornication like the fornications of the house of Ahab; and also you have killed your brothers, the house of your father, who were betterthan yourself; ¹⁴ behold, Jehovah shall strike with a great destruction among your people, and among your sons, and among your wives, and among all your goods; ¹⁵ and you, with many sicknesses, with disease in your bowels, until your bowels come out because of the sickness, day by day. ¹⁶ And Jehovah awakened the spirit of the Philistines against Jehoram, and of the Arabians who were beside the Ethiopians; ¹⁷ and they came up into Judah and broke into it, and captured all the substance that was found at the king's house, and also his sons, and his wives; and there was not left to him a son except Jehoahaz the youngest of his sons. ¹⁸ And after this, Jehovah struck him in his bowels by disease for which there was no healing; ¹⁹ and it happened, from days to days, and as the time went out, the end of two years of days, his bowels went out because of his sickness; so he died of painful diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers. ²⁰ He was a son of thirty two years when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem; and he left without being desired, and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the graves of the kings.
