2 Chronicles 21:1 In-Context

1 Jehoshaphat died and was buried in the family cemetery in the City of David. Jehoram his son was the next king.

2 Jehoram's brothers were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariahu, Michael, and Shephatiah - the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Judah.

3 Their father had lavished them with gifts - silver, gold, and other valuables, plus the fortress cities in Judah. But Jehoram was his firstborn son and he gave him the kingdom of Judah.

4 But when Jehoram had taken over his father's kingdom and had secured his position, he killed all his brothers along with some of the government officials.

5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king and ruled in Jerusalem for eight years.
