1
And Josaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Joran his son reigned in his stead.
2
And he had brothers, the six sons of Josaphat, Azarias, and Jeiel, and Zacharias, and Azarias, and Michael, and Zaphatias: all these the sons of Josaphat king of Juda.
3
And their father gave them many gifts, silver, and gold, and arms, together with fortified cities in Juda: but he gave the kingdom to Joram, for he the first-born.
4
And Joram entered upon his kingdom, and strengthened himself, and slew all his brothers with the sword, and of the princes of Israel.
5
When he was thirty and two years old, Joram succeeded to his kingdom, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
