                                  JEHORAM

1KI 22:50  Then Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers and was buried with 
them in the city of David his father. And Jehoram his son succeeded him.

2KI 8:16  In the fifth year of Joram son of Ahab king of Israel, when 
Jehoshaphat was king of Judah, Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat began his reign 
as king of Judah.

2KI 8:18  He walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of 
Ahab had done, for he married a daughter of Ahab. He did evil in the eyes 
of the LORD.

2KI 8:19  Nevertheless, for the sake of his servant David, the LORD was not 
willing to destroy Judah. He had promised to maintain a lamp for David and 
his descendants forever.

2KI 8:20  In the time of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against Judah and set up 
its own king.

2KI 8:21  So Jehoram went to Zair with all his chariots. The Edomites 
surrounded him and his chariot commanders, but he rose up and broke through 
by night; his army, however, fled back home.

2KI 8:22  To this day Edom has been in rebellion against Judah. Libnah 
revolted at the same time.

2KI 8:24  Jehoram rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the 
City of David. And Ahaziah his son succeeded him as king.

1CH 3:11  Jehoram his son, Ahaziah his son, Joash his son,

2CH 21:4  When Jehoram established himself firmly over his father's 
kingdom, he put all his brothers to the sword along with some of the 
princes of Israel.

2CH 21:5  Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he 
reigned in Jerusalem eight years.

2CH 21:6  He walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of 
Ahab had done, for he married a daughter of Ahab. He did evil in the eyes 
of the LORD.

2CH 21:7  Nevertheless, because of the covenant the LORD had made with 
David, the LORD was not willing to destroy the house of David. He had 
promised to maintain a lamp for him and his descendants forever.

2CH 21:8  In the time of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against Judah and set up 
its own king.

2CH 21:9  So Jehoram went there with his officers and all his chariots. The 
Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, but he rose up and 
broke through by night.

2CH 21:10  To this day Edom has been in rebellion against Judah. Libnah 
revolted at the same time, because Jehoram had forsaken the LORD, the God 
of his fathers.

2CH 21:11  He had also built high places on the hills of Judah and had 
caused the people of Jerusalem to prostitute themselves and had led Judah 
astray.

2CH 21:12  Jehoram received a letter from Elijah the prophet, which said: 
"This is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: 'You have not 
walked in the ways of your father Jehoshaphat or of Asa king of Judah.

2CH 21:13  But you have walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and you 
have led Judah and the people of Jerusalem to prostitute themselves, just 
as the house of Ahab did. You have also murdered your own brothers, members 
of your father's house, men who were better than you.

2CH 21:14  So now the LORD is about to strike your people, your sons, your 
wives and everything that is yours, with a heavy blow.

2CH 21:15  You yourself will be very ill with a lingering disease of the 
bowels, until the disease causes your bowels to come out.'"

2CH 21:16  The LORD aroused against Jehoram the hostility of the 
Philistines and of the Arabs who lived near the Cushites.

2CH 21:17  They attacked Judah, invaded it and carried off all the goods 
found in the king's palace, together with his sons and wives. Not a son was 
left to him except Ahaziah, the youngest.

2CH 21:18  After all this, the LORD afflicted Jehoram with an incurable 
disease of the bowels.

2CH 21:19  In the course of time, at the end of the second year, his bowels 
came out because of the disease, and he died in great pain. His people made 
no fire in his honor, as they had for his fathers.

2CH 21:20  Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he 
reigned in Jerusalem eight years. He passed away, to no one's regret, and 
was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
