2 Chronicles 21:13 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 21:13

And hast walked in the way of the kings of
Israel
Worshipping the calves, and even Baal, with other idols, as they did: and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring,
like to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab;
meaning spiritual whoredoms or idolatries: and hast also slain thy brethren of thy father's house, which were
better than thyself;
more religious, more humane, more prudent, and fitter for government.

2 Chronicles 21:13 In-Context

11 Jehoram also built places to worship gods on the hills in Judah. He led the people of Jerusalem to sin, and he led the people of Judah away from the Lord.

12 Then Jehoram received this letter from Elijah the prophet: This is what the Lord, the God of your ancestor David, says, "Jehoram, you have not lived as your father Jehoshaphat lived and as Asa king of Judah lived.

13 But you have lived as the kings of Israel lived, leading the people of Judah and Jerusalem to sin against God, as Ahab and his family did. You have killed your brothers, and they were better than you.

14 So now the Lord is about to punish your people, your children, wives, and everything you own.

15 You will have a terrible disease in your intestines that will become worse every day. Finally it will cause your intestines to come out."
