2 Chronicles 21

KJV

1  Now Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers,¹ and was buried⁶⁹¹² with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers¹ in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David.¹⁷³² And Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

2  And he had brethren²⁵¹ the sons¹¹²¹ of Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² Azariah,⁵⁸³⁸ and Jehiel,³¹⁷¹ and Zechariah,²¹⁴⁸ and Azariah,⁵⁸³⁸ and Michael,⁴³¹⁷ and Shephatiah:⁸²⁰³ all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ were the sons¹¹²¹ of Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

3  And their father¹ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ them great⁷²²⁷ gifts⁴⁹⁷⁹ of silver,³⁷⁰¹ and of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and of precious things,⁴⁰³⁰ with⁵⁹⁷³ fenced⁴⁶⁹⁴ cities⁵⁸⁹² in Judah:³⁰⁶³ but the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ he to Jehoram;³⁰⁸⁸ because³⁵⁸⁸ he¹⁹³¹ was the firstborn.¹⁰⁶⁰

4  Now when Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ was risen up⁶⁹⁶⁵ to⁵⁹²¹ the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ of his father,¹ he strengthened himself,²³⁸⁸ and slew^{2026 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ his brethren²⁵¹ with the sword,²⁷¹⁹ and divers also¹⁵⁷¹ of the princes^{4480 8269} of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

5  Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ was thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ eight⁸⁰⁸³ years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

6  And he walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ like as⁸³⁴ did⁶²¹³ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ahab:²⁵⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ he had¹⁹⁶¹ the daughter¹³²³ of Ahab²⁵⁶ to wife:⁸⁰² and he wrought⁶²¹³ that which was evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

7  Howbeit the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ would¹⁴ not³⁸⁰⁸ destroy^{7843 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of David,¹⁷³² because of⁴⁶¹⁶ the covenant¹²⁸⁵ that⁸³⁴ he had made³⁷⁷² with David,¹⁷³² and as⁸³⁴ he promised⁵⁵⁹ to give⁵⁴¹⁴ a light⁵²¹⁶ to him and to his sons¹¹²¹ forever.^{3605 3117}

8  In his days³¹¹⁷ the Edomites¹²³ revolted⁶⁵⁸⁶ from under^{4480 8478} the dominion³⁰²⁷ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and made^{4427 5921} themselves a king.⁴⁴²⁸

9  Then Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ went forth⁵⁶⁷⁴ with⁵⁹⁷³ his princes,⁸²⁶⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ his chariots⁷³⁹³ with⁵⁹⁷³ him: and he rose up^{1961 6965} by night,³⁹¹⁵ and smote^{5221 853} the Edomites¹²³ which compassed^{5437 413} him in, and the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of the chariots.⁷³⁹³

10  So the Edomites¹²³ revolted⁶⁵⁸⁶ from under^{4480 8478} the hand³⁰²⁷ of Judah³⁰⁶³ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷ The same¹⁹³¹ time⁶²⁵⁶ also did Libnah³⁸⁴¹ revolt⁶⁵⁸⁶ from under^{4480 8478} his hand;³⁰²⁷ because³⁵⁸⁸ he had forsaken^{5800 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of his fathers.¹

11  Moreover¹⁵⁷¹ he¹⁹³¹ made⁶²¹³ high places¹¹¹⁶ in the mountains²⁰²² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and caused ⁸⁵³ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ to commit fornication,²¹⁸¹ and compelled^{5080 853} Judah³⁰⁶³ thereto.

12  And there came⁹³⁵ a writing⁴³⁸⁵ to⁴¹³ him from Elijah^{4480 452} the prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of David¹⁷³² thy father,¹ Because^{8478 834} thou hast not³⁸⁰⁸ walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² thy father,¹ nor in the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of Asa⁶⁰⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³

13  But hast walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and hast made ⁸⁵³ Judah³⁰⁶³ and the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ to go a whoring,²¹⁸¹ like to the whoredoms²¹⁸¹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ahab,²⁵⁶ and also¹⁵⁷¹ hast slain^{2026 853} thy brethren²⁵¹ of thy father's¹ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ which were better²⁸⁹⁶ than⁴⁴⁸⁰ thyself:

14  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ with a great¹⁴¹⁹ plague⁴⁰⁴⁶ will the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ smite⁵⁰⁶² thy people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and thy children,¹¹²¹ and thy wives,⁸⁰² and all³⁶⁰⁵ thy goods:⁷³⁹⁹

15  And thou⁸⁵⁹ shalt have great⁷²²⁷ sickness²⁴⁸³ by disease⁴²⁴⁵ of thy bowels,⁴⁵⁷⁸ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ thy bowels⁴⁵⁷⁸ fall out³³¹⁸ by reason of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the sickness²⁴⁸³ day³¹¹⁷ by⁵⁹²¹ day.³¹¹⁷

16  Moreover the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ stirred up⁵⁷⁸² against⁵⁹²¹ Jehoram^{3088 853} the spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and of the Arabians,⁶¹⁶³ that⁸³⁴ were near^{5921 3027} the Ethiopians:³⁵⁶⁹

17  And they came up⁵⁹²⁷ into Judah,³⁰⁶³ and broke into¹²³⁴ it, and carried away^{7617 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the substance⁷³⁹⁹ that was found⁴⁶⁷² in the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and his sons¹¹²¹ also,¹⁵⁷¹ and his wives;⁸⁰² so that there was never³⁸⁰⁸ a son¹¹²¹ left⁷⁶⁰⁴ him, save^{3588 518} Jehoahaz,³⁰⁵⁹ the youngest⁶⁹⁹⁶ of his sons.¹¹²¹

18  And after³¹⁰ all³⁶⁰⁵ this²⁰⁶³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ smote⁵⁰⁶² him in his bowels⁴⁵⁷⁸ with an incurable^{369 4832} disease.²⁴⁸³

19  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ that in process of time,^{3117 4480 3117} after the end^{6256 3318 7093} of two⁸¹⁴⁷ years,³¹¹⁷ his bowels⁴⁵⁷⁸ fell out³³¹⁸ by reason of⁵⁹⁷³ his sickness:²⁴⁸³ so he died⁴¹⁹¹ of sore⁷⁴⁵¹ diseases.⁸⁴⁶³ And his people⁵⁹⁷¹ made⁶²¹³ no³⁸⁰⁸ burning⁸³¹⁶ for him, like the burning⁸³¹⁶ of his fathers.¹

20  Thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ years old¹¹²¹ was¹⁹⁶¹ he when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ eight⁸⁰⁸³ years,⁸¹⁴¹ and departed¹⁹⁸⁰ without³⁸⁰⁸ being desired.²⁵³² Howbeit they buried⁶⁹¹² him in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David,¹⁷³² but not³⁸⁰⁸ in the sepulchers⁶⁹¹³ of the kings.⁴⁴²⁸

1 καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ιωσαφατ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτάφη παρὰ τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυιδ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ιωραμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾽ αὐτοῦ

2 καὶ αὐτῷ ἀδελφοὶ υἱοὶ Ιωσαφατ ἕξ Αζαριας καὶ Ιιηλ καὶ Ζαχαριας καὶ Αζαριας καὶ Μιχαηλ καὶ Σαφατιας πάντες οὗτοι υἱοὶ Ιωσαφατ βασιλέως Ιουδα

3 καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ὁ πατὴρ αὐτῶν δόματα πολλά ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον καὶ ὅπλα μετὰ πόλεων τετειχισμένων ἐν Ιουδα καὶ τὴν βασιλείαν ἔδωκεν τῷ Ιωραμ ὅτι οὗτος ὁ πρωτότοκος

4 καὶ ἀνέστη Ιωραμ ἐπὶ τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκραταιώθη καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν πάντας τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀρχόντων Ισραηλ

5 ὄντος αὐτοῦ τριάκοντα καὶ δύο ἐτῶν κατέστη Ιωραμ ἐπὶ τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτοῦ καὶ ὀκτὼ ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ

6 καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ βασιλέων Ισραηλ ὡς ἐποίησεν οἶκος Αχααβ ὅτι θυγάτηρ Αχααβ ἦν αὐτοῦ γυνή καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐναντίον κυρίου

7 καὶ οὐκ ἐβούλετο κύριος ἐξολεθρεῦσαι τὸν οἶκον Δαυιδ διὰ τὴν διαθήκην ἣν διέθετο τῷ Δαυιδ καὶ ὡς εἶπεν αὐτῷ δοῦναι αὐτῷ λύχνον καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας

8 ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἀπέστη Εδωμ ἀπὸ τοῦ Ιουδα καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν ἐφ᾽ ἑαυτοὺς βασιλέα

9 καὶ ᾤχετο Ιωραμ μετὰ τῶν ἀρχόντων καὶ πᾶσα ἡ ἵππος μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐγένετο καὶ ἠγέρθη νυκτὸς καὶ ἐπάταξεν Εδωμ τὸν κυκλοῦντα αὐτὸν καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας τῶν ἁρμάτων καὶ ἔφυγεν ὁ λαὸς εἰς τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτῶν

10 καὶ ἀπέστη ἀπὸ Ιουδα Εδωμ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης τότε ἀπέστη Λομνα ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἀπὸ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἐγκατέλιπεν κύριον θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ

11 καὶ γὰρ αὐτὸς ἐποίησεν ὑψηλὰ ἐν πόλεσιν Ιουδα καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσεν τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἀπεπλάνησεν τὸν Ιουδαν

12 καὶ ἦλθεν αὐτῷ ἐγγραφὴ παρὰ Ηλιου τοῦ προφήτου λέγων τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρός σου ἀνθ᾽ ὧν οὐκ ἐπορεύθης ἐν ὁδῷ Ιωσαφατ τοῦ πατρός σου καὶ ἐν ὁδοῖς Ασα βασιλέως Ιουδα

13 καὶ ἐπορεύθης ἐν ὁδοῖς βασιλέων Ισραηλ καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσας τὸν Ιουδαν καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ὡς ἐξεπόρνευσεν οἶκος Αχααβ καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου υἱοὺς τοῦ πατρός σου τοὺς ἀγαθοὺς ὑπὲρ σὲ ἀπέκτεινας

14 ἰδοὺ κύριος πατάξει σε πληγὴν μεγάλην ἐν τῷ λαῷ σου καὶ ἐν τοῖς υἱοῖς σου καὶ ἐν γυναιξίν σου καὶ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ ἀποσκευῇ σου

15 καὶ σὺ ἐν μαλακίᾳ πονηρᾷ ἐν νόσῳ κοιλίας ἕως οὗ ἐξέλθῃ ἡ κοιλία σου μετὰ τῆς μαλακίας ἐξ ἡμερῶν εἰς ἡμέρας

16 καὶ ἐπήγειρεν κύριος ἐπὶ Ιωραμ τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους καὶ τοὺς Ἄραβας καὶ τοὺς ὁμόρους τῶν Αἰθιόπων

17 καὶ ἀνέβησαν ἐπὶ Ιουδαν καὶ κατεδυνάστευον καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν πᾶσαν τὴν ἀποσκευήν ἣν εὗρον ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐ κατελείφθη αὐτῷ υἱὸς ἀλλ᾽ ἢ Οχοζιας ὁ μικρότατος τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ

18 καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα πάντα ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν κύριος εἰς τὴν κοιλίαν μαλακίᾳ ἐν ᾗ οὐκ ἔστιν ἰατρεία

19 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐξ ἡμερῶν εἰς ἡμέρας καὶ ὡς ἦλθεν καιρὸς τῶν ἡμερῶν ἡμέρας δύο ἐξῆλθεν ἡ κοιλία αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῆς νόσου καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐν μαλακίᾳ πονηρᾷ καὶ οὐκ ἐποίησεν ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ ἐκφορὰν καθὼς ἐκφορὰν πατέρων αὐτοῦ

20 ἦν τριάκοντα καὶ δύο ἐτῶν ὅτε ἐβασίλευσεν καὶ ὀκτὼ ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν οὐκ ἐπαίνῳ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν πόλει Δαυιδ καὶ οὐκ ἐν τάφοις τῶν βασιλέων

1 Dormivit autem Josaphat cum patribus suis, et sepultus est cum eis in civitate David: regnavitque Joram filius ejus pro eo.

2 Qui habuit fratres filios Josaphat, Azariam, et Jahiel, et Zachariam, et Azariam, et Michaël, et Saphatiam: omnes hi filii Josaphat regis Juda.

3 Deditque eis pater suus multa munera argenti et auri, et pensitationes, cum civitatibus munitissimis in Juda: regnum autem tradidit Joram, eo quod esset primogenitus.

4 Surrexit ergo Joram super regnum patris sui: cumque se confirmasset, occidit omnes fratres suos gladio, et quosdam de principibus Israël.

5 Triginta duorum annorum erat Joram cum regnare cœpisset, et octo annis regnavit in Jerusalem.

6 Ambulavitque in viis regum Israël, sicut egerat domus Achab: filia quippe Achab erat uxor ejus: et fecit malum in conspectu Domini.

7 Noluit autem Dominus disperdere domum David propter pactum quod inierat cum eo: et quia promiserat ut daret ei lucernam, et filiis ejus omni tempore.

8 In diebus illis rebellavit Edom, ne esset subditus Judæ, et constituit sibi regem.

9 Cumque transisset Joram cum principibus suis, et cuncto equitatu qui erat secum, surrexit nocte, et percussit Edom, qui se circumdederat, et omnes duces equitatus ejus.

10 Attamen rebellavit Edom, ne esset sub ditione Juda usque ad hanc diem: eo tempore et Lobna recessit ne esset sub manu illius. Dereliquerat enim Dominum Deum patrum suorum:

11 insuper et excelsa fabricatus est in urbibus Juda, et fornicari fecit habitatores Jerusalem, et prævaricari Judam.

12 Allatæ sunt autem ei litteræ ab Elia propheta, in quibus scriptum erat: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus David patris tui: Quoniam non ambulasti in viis Josaphat patris tui, et in viis Asa regis Juda,

13 sed incessisti per iter regum Israël, et fornicari fecisti Judam et habitatores Jerusalem, imitatus fornicationem domus Achab, insuper et fratres tuos, domum patris tui, meliores te, occidisti:

14 ecce Dominus percutiet te plaga magna cum populo tuo, et filiis, et uxoribus tuis, universaque substantia tua.

15 Tu autem ægrotabis pessimo languore uteri tui, donec egrediantur vitalia tua paulatim per singulos dies.

16 Suscitavit ergo Dominus contra Joram spiritum Philisthinorum, et Arabum qui confines sunt Æthiopibus:

17 et ascenderunt in terram Juda, et vastaverunt eam, diripueruntque cunctam substantiam quæ inventa est in domo regis, insuper et filios ejus, et uxores: nec remansit ei filius, nisi Joachaz, qui minimus natu erat.

18 Et super hæc omnia percussit eum Dominus alvi languore insanabili.

19 Cumque diei succederet dies, et temporum spatia volverentur, duorum annorum expletus est circulus: et sic longa consumptus tabe, ita ut egereret etiam viscera sua, languore pariter, et vita caruit. Mortuusque est in infirmitate pessima, et non fecit ei populus secundum morem combustionis exequias, sicut fecerat majoribus ejus.

20 Triginta duorum annorum fuit cum regnare cœpisset, et octo annis regnavit in Jerusalem. Ambulavitque non recte, et sepelierunt eum in civitate David, verumtamen non in sepulchro regum.
