| 1 | Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Jehoram his son reigned in his place. | 1Ki 22:50 |
| 2 | He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah; all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel. | 2Ch 21:4 2Ch 12:6 2Ch 23:2 2Ch 24:5 2Ch 24:16 2Ch 28:19 2Ch 28:23 2Ch 28:27 2Ch 33:18 2Ch 35:18 |
| 3 | Their father gave them great gifts, of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn. | 2Ch 11:23 Gn 25:6 Dt 21:15-17 |
| 4 | Now when Jehoram was risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and various also of the princes of Israel. | 2Ch 21:17 2Ch 22:8 2Ch 22:10 Gn 4:8 Jg 9:5 Jg 9:56 Jg 9:57 1Jn 3:12 |
| 5 | Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. |
| 6 | He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab; for he had the daughter of Ahab as wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh. | 1Ki 16:25-33 |
| 7 | However Yahweh would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a lamp to him and to his children always. | 2Ch 22:11 Isa 7:6 Isa 7:7 |
| 8 | In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves. | Gn 27:40 2Ki 8:20-22 |
| 9 | Then Jehoram passed over with his captains, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, along with the captains of the chariots. |
| 10 | So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day: then did Libnah revolt at the same time from under his hand, because he had forsaken Yahweh, the God of his fathers. | Jsh 21:13 2Ki 19:8 |
| 11 | Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute, and led Judah astray. | Dt 12:2-4 1Ki 11:7 Ps 78:58 Ezk 20:28 |
| 12 | There came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus says Yahweh, the God of David your father, Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah, | 2Ki 2:1 Jer 36:2 Jer 36:23 Jer 36:28-32 Ezk 2:9 Ezk 2:10 Dn 5:5 Dn 5:25-29 |
| 13 | but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute, like as the house of Ahab did, and also have slain your brothers of your father`s house, who were better than yourself: | 1Ki 16:25 1Ki 16:30-33 |
| 14 | behold, Yahweh will strike with a great plague your people, and your children, and your wives, and all your substance; | Lv 26:21 |
| 15 | and you shall have great sickness by disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day. | 2Ch 21:18 2Ch 21:19 Nm 5:27 Dt 28:61 Ac 12:23 |
| 16 | Yahweh stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians: | 2Ch 33:11 1Sa 26:19 2Sa 24:1 1Ki 11:11 1Ki 11:14 1Ki 11:23 Ezr 1:1 Ezr 1:5 Isa 10:5 Isa 10:6 Isa 45:5-7 Am 3:6 |
| 17 | and they came up against Judah, and broke into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king`s house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, save Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons. | Jb 5:3 Jb 5:4 |
| 18 | After all this Yahweh struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease. | 2Ch 21:15 2Ki 9:29 Ac 12:23 |
| 19 | It happened, in process of time, at the end of two years, that his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died of sore diseases. His people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers. | 2Ch 16:14 Jer 34:5 |
| 20 | Thirty-two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years: and he departed without being desired; and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings. | 2Ch 23:21 Pr 10:7 Jer 22:18 Jer 22:28 |
