And there
came a
writing to him from
Elijah the
prophet, saying, Thus
saith the
LORD God of
David thy
father, Because thou hast not
walked in the
ways of
Jehoshaphat thy
father, nor in the
ways of
Asa king of
Judah,
r{mael ayib'N;h .Wh'Yileaem b'T.kim wy'lea a{b'Y;w ? t;x;T '$yib'a dyiw'D yeh{l/a h'wh.y r;m'a h{K ? '$yib'a j'p'vw{h.y yek.r;d.B 'T.k;l'h -a{l r,v]a ? h'd.Wh.y -.k,l,m a's'a yek.r;d.b.W
13
But hast
walked in the
way of the
kings of
Israel, and hast made
Judah and the
inhabitants of
Jerusalem to go a
whoring, like to the
whoredoms of the
house of
Ahab, and also hast
slain thy
brethren of thy
father's house, which were
better than thyself:

14
Behold, with a
great plague will the
LORD smite thy
people, and thy
children, and thy
wives, and all thy
goods:

15
And thou shalt have
great sickness by
disease of thy
bowels, until thy
bowels fall
out by reason of the
sickness day by
day.

Moreover the
LORD stirred
up against
Jehoram the
spirit of the
Philistines, and of the
Arabians, that were
near the Ethiopians:

And they came
up into
Judah, and
brake into it, and carried
away all the
substance that was
found in the
king's house, and his
sons also, and his
wives; so that there was never a
son left him, save
Jehoahaz, the
youngest of his
sons.

And
after all this the
LORD smote him in his
bowels with an
incurable* disease.

And it came to pass, that in process of
time, after* the
end of
two years, his
bowels fell
out by
reason of his
sickness: so he
died of
sore diseases. And his
people made no
burning for him, like the
burning of his
fathers.
