2 Chronicles 21:15 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 21:15

And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels,
&c.] Which was a just retaliation to him, for having no bowels of compassion on his brethren whom he slew:

until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day;
that continuing day after day, and even year after year, the space of two years, as appears from ( 2 Chronicles 21:19 ) .

2 Chronicles 21:15 In-Context

13 but have taken up with the ways of the kings of Israel in the north, leading Judah and Jerusalem away from God, going step by step down the apostate path of Ahab and his crew - why, you even killed your own brothers, all of them better men than you! -

14 God is going to afflict your people, your wives, your sons, and everything you have with a terrible plague.

15 And you are going to come down with a terrible disease of the colon, painful and humiliating."

16 The trouble started with an invasion. God incited the Philistines and the Arabs who lived near the Ethiopians to attack Jehoram.

17 They came to the borders of Judah, forced their way in, and plundered the place - robbing the royal palace of everything in it including his wives and sons. One son, his youngest, Ahaziah, was left behind.
