1
Yehoshafat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Yehoram his son reigned in his place.
2
He had brothers, the sons of Yehoshafat: `Azaryah, and Yechi'el, and Zekharyah, and `Azaryah, and Mikha'el, and Shefatyah; all these were the sons of Yehoshafat king of Yisra'el.
3
Their father gave them great gifts, of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Yehudah: but the kingdom gave he to Yehoram, because he was the firstborn.
4
Now when Yehoram 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 Yisra'el.
5
Yehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Yerushalayim.
