Contextual Overview

12 Then a letter came to him from Elijah the man of God, saying, "The Lord God of your father David says, ‘You have not walked in the ways of your father Jehoshaphat, and the ways of King Asa of Judah. 13 But you have walked in the way of the kings of Israel. You have caused Judah and the people of Israel to give themselves over to sin, as those of Ahab's house did. And you have killed your brothers, your own family, who were better than you. 14 So see, the Lord is going to send a bad disease upon your people, your sons, your wives, and all you have. 15 You yourself will suffer a bad sickness, a disease of your stomach. Your insides will come out because of the sickness, day by day.'" 16 Then the Lord made the Philistines and the Arabs who were near the Ethiopians angry against Jehoram. 17 They came and fought against Judah, and carried away all the things they found in the king's house, together with his sons and his wives. No son was left to him except Jehoahaz, his youngest. 18 After all this the Lord caused a sickness in Jehoram's stomach, which could not be cured. 19 After that time, at the end of two years, his insides came out because of his sickness. And he died in much pain. His people made no fire for him like the fires made for his fathers. 20 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king. He ruled in Jerusalem for eight years. And no one felt bad when he died. They buried him in the city of David, but not in the graves of the kings.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

After all this the Lord smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease. What it was is not agreed upon; some take it be an "hernia", or rupture; others, the falling of the "anus", or a fistula in it; others, the colic, or iliac passion; but generally it is thought to be a dysentery, or bloody flux; the Targum is,

"the Word of the Lord broke him.''

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 21:18. The Lord smote him — "And after all these things the WORD Of the Lord smote his bowels," &c. - Targum.
