15 and you yourself will have a severe sickness with a disease of your bowels, until your bowels come out, day after day, because of the disease."
16 The Lord aroused against Jehoram the anger of the Philistines and of the Arabs who are near the Ethiopians.
17 They came up against Judah, invaded it, and carried away all the possessions they found that belonged to the king's house, along with his sons and his wives, so that no son was left to him except Jehoahaz, his youngest son.
18 After all this the Lord struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
19 In course of time, at the end of two years, his bowels came out because of the disease, and he died in great agony. His people made no fire in his honor, like the fires made for his ancestors.
20 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. He departed with no one's regret. They buried him in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
