00:00.000 --> 00:06.580
Chapter 21 Now Jehoshaphat slept with his
fathers, and was buried with his fathers

00:06.580 --> 00:07.600
in the city of David.

00:08.340 --> 00:10.760
And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.

00:11.580 --> 00:16.800
And he had brethren, the sons of
Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and Jehiel,

00:17.340 --> 00:22.680
and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael,
and Shephatiah.

00:23.360 --> 00:26.060
All these were the sons of Jehoshaphat,
king of Israel.

00:26.060 --> 00:30.660
And their father gave them great gifts of
silver, and of gold, and of precious

00:30.660 --> 00:33.200
things, with fenced cities in Judah.

00:34.020 --> 00:37.940
But the kingdom gave he to Jehoram,
because he was the firstborn.

00:38.940 --> 00:43.160
Now when Jehoram was risen up to the
kingdom of his father, he strengthened

00:43.160 --> 00:48.540
himself, and slew all his brethren with
the sword, and divers also of the princes

00:48.540 --> 00:49.120
of Israel.

00:50.100 --> 00:54.640
Jehoram was thirty and two years old when
he began to reign, and he reigned eight

00:54.640 --> 00:55.660
years in Jerusalem.

00:56.340 --> 01:00.740
And he walked in the way of the kings of
Israel, like as did the house of Ahab.

01:01.500 --> 01:06.740
For he had the daughter of Ahab to wife,
and he wrought that which was evil in the

01:06.740 --> 01:07.500
eyes of the Lord.

01:08.320 --> 01:12.240
Howbeit the Lord would not destroy the
house of David, because of the covenant

01:12.240 --> 01:16.760
that he had made with David, and as he
promised to give a light to him and to his

01:16.760 --> 01:17.680
sons for ever.

01:18.800 --> 01:23.260
In his days the Edomites revolted from
under the dominion of Judah, and made

01:23.260 --> 01:24.200
themselves a king.

01:25.360 --> 01:29.120
Then Jehoram went forth with his princes,
and all his chariots with him.

01:30.040 --> 01:33.860
And he rose up by night, and smote the
Edomites, which compassed him in,

01:34.380 --> 01:36.000
and the captains of the chariots.

01:37.040 --> 01:40.580
So the Edomites revolted from under the
hand of Judah until this day.

01:41.480 --> 01:46.440
The same time also did Libna revolt from
under his hand, because he had forsaken

01:46.440 --> 01:47.720
the Lord God of his fathers.

01:48.960 --> 01:52.880
Moreover he made high places in the
mountains of Judah, and caused the

01:52.880 --> 01:57.580
inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit
fornication, and compelled Judah thereto.

01:59.120 --> 02:03.440
And there came a writing to him from
Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the

02:03.440 --> 02:08.740
Lord God of David thy father, Because thou
hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat

02:08.740 --> 02:14.840
thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of
Judah, but hast walked in the way of the

02:14.840 --> 02:19.880
kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and
the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go

02:19.880 --> 02:25.600
a-whoring, like to the whoredoms of the
house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy

02:25.600 --> 02:29.400
brethren of thy father's house,
which were better than thyself.

02:29.900 --> 02:35.040
Behold, with a great plague will the Lord
smite thy people, and thy children,

02:35.180 --> 02:37.340
and thy wives, and all thy goods.

02:37.800 --> 02:43.380
And thou shalt have great sickness by
disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels

02:43.380 --> 02:46.940
fall out by reason of the sickness day by
day.

02:46.940 --> 02:51.160
Moreover the Lord stirred up against
Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines,

02:51.500 --> 02:54.140
and of the Arabians that were near the
Ethiopians.

02:55.000 --> 02:59.380
And they came up into Judah, and broke
into it, and carried away all the

02:59.380 --> 03:03.820
substance that was found in the king's
house, and his sons also, and his wives,

03:04.720 --> 03:10.000
so that there was never a son left him,
save Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.

03:11.040 --> 03:15.880
And after all this the Lord smote him in
his bowels with an incurable disease,

03:15.880 --> 03:21.000
and it came to pass that in the process of
time, after the end of two years,

03:21.500 --> 03:26.460
his bowels fell out by reason of his
sickness, so he died of sore diseases.

03:27.520 --> 03:31.080
And his people made no burning for him,
like the burning of his fathers.

03:31.980 --> 03:36.300
Thirty and two years old was he when he
began to reign, and he reigned in

03:36.300 --> 03:39.760
Jerusalem eight years, and departed
without being desired.

03:41.160 --> 03:46.100
Howbeit they buried him in the city of
David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
