¹² 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,

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.

¹⁶ Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were near the Ethiopians:

¹⁷ 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.

¹⁸ And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.

¹⁹ 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.

¹² And there came ^H935 a writing ^H4385 to him from Elijah ^H452 the prophet, ^H5030 saying, ^H559 Thus saith ^H559 the LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of David ^H1732 thy father, ^H1 Because thou hast not walked ^H1980 in the ways ^H1870 of Jehoshaphat ^H3092 thy father, ^H1 nor in the ways ^H1870 of Asa ^H609 king ^H4428 of Judah, ^H3063

¹³ But hast walked ^H3212 in the way ^H1870 of the kings ^H4428 of Israel, ^H3478 and hast made Judah ^H3063 and the inhabitants ^H3427 of Jerusalem ^H3389 to go a whoring, ^H2181 like to the whoredoms ^H2181 of the house ^H1004 of Ahab, ^H256 and also hast slain ^H2026 thy brethren ^H251 of thy father's ^H1 house, ^H1004 which were better ^H2896 than thyself:

¹⁴ Behold, with a great ^H1419 plague ^H4046 will the LORD ^H3068 smite ^H5062 thy people, ^H5971 and thy children, ^H1121 and thy wives, ^H802 and all thy goods: ^H7399

¹⁵ And thou shalt have great ^H7227 sickness ^H2483 by disease ^H4245 of thy bowels, ^H4578 until thy bowels ^H4578 fall out ^H3318 by reason of the sickness ^H2483 day ^H3117 by day. ^H3117

¹⁶ Moreover the LORD ^H3068 stirred up ^H5782 against Jehoram ^H3088 the spirit ^H7307 of the Philistines, ^H6430 and of the Arabians, ^H6163 that were near ^{H5921 H3027} the Ethiopians: ^H3569

¹⁷ And they came up ^H5927 into Judah, ^H3063 and brake ^H1234 into it, and carried away ^H7617 all the substance ^H7399 that was found ^H4672 in the king's ^H4428 house, ^H1004 and his sons ^H1121 also, and his wives; ^H802 so that there was never a son ^H1121 left ^H7604 him, save Jehoahaz, ^H3059 the youngest ^H6996 of his sons. ^H1121

¹⁸ And after ^H310 all this the LORD ^H3068 smote ^H5062 him in his bowels ^H4578 with an incurable ^{H369 H4832} disease. ^H2483

¹⁹ And it came to pass, that in process of time, ^H3117 after ^{H3318 H6256} the end ^H7093 of two ^H8147 years, ^H3117 his bowels ^H4578 fell out ^H3318 by reason ^H5973 of his sickness: ^H2483 so he died ^H4191 of sore ^H7451 diseases. ^H8463 And his people ^H5971 made ^H6213 no burning ^H8316 for him, like the burning ^H8316 of his fathers. ^H1

¹² And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, the 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,

¹³ but hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot, like as the house of Ahab did, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father's house, who were better than thyself:

¹⁴ behold, Jehovah will smite with a great plague thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy substance;

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.

¹⁶ And Jehovah stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians that are beside the Ethiopians:

¹⁷ and they came up against 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.

¹⁸ And after all this Jehovah smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.

¹⁹ And it came to pass, in process of time, at the end of two years, that his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died of sore diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.

¹² And there cometh in unto him a writing from Elijah the prophet, saying, `Thus said Jehovah, God of David thy father, Because that thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, and in the ways of Asa king of Judah,

¹³ and thou dost walk in the way of the kings of Israel, and dost cause Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit whoredom like the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also thy brethren, the house of thy father, who are better than thyself, thou hast slain;

¹⁴ lo, Jehovah is smiting -- a great smiting -- among thy people, and among thy sons, and among thy wives, and among all thy goods --

¹⁵ and thou, with many sicknesses, with disease of thy bowels, till thy bowels come out, by the sickness, day by day.'

¹⁶ And Jehovah waketh up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, who `are' beside the Cushim,

¹⁷ and they come up into Judah, and rend it, and take captive all the substance that is found at the house of the king, and also his sons, and his wives, and there hath not been left to him a son except Jehoahaz the youngest of his sons.

¹⁸ And after all this hath Jehovah plagued him in his bowels by a disease for which there is no healing,

¹⁹ and it cometh to pass, from days to days, and at the time of the going out of the end of two years, his bowels have gone out with his sickness, and he dieth of sore diseases, and his people have not made for him a burning like the burning of his fathers.

¹² And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet saying, Thus saith Jehovah, the 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,

¹³ but hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, like the fornications of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren, thy father's house who were better than thyself:

¹⁴ behold, Jehovah will smite with a great stroke thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy substance,

¹⁵ and thyself with sore sicknesses, with a disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.

¹⁶ And Jehovah stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, who [are] near the Ethiopians;

¹⁷ and they came up into Judah, and broke 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 no son left him, except Jehoahaz the youngest of his sons.

¹⁸ And after all this, Jehovah smote him in his bowels with an incurable sickness.

¹⁹ And it came to pass, from day to day, and at the time when the second year was drawing to a close, that his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died in cruel sufferings. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.

¹² There came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus says Yahweh, the God of David your father, Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,

¹³ but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute, like as the house of Ahab did, and also have slain your brothers of your father's house, who were better than yourself:

¹⁴ behold, Yahweh will strike with a great plague your people, and your children, and your wives, and all your substance;

¹⁵ and you shall have great sickness by disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day.

¹⁶ Yahweh stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians:

¹⁷ and they came up against Judah, and broke 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.

¹⁸ After all this Yahweh struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease.

¹⁹ It happened, in process of time, at the end of two years, that his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died of sore diseases. His people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.

¹² And a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, The Lord, the God of your father David, says, Because you have not kept to the ways of your father Jehoshaphat or the ways of Asa, king of Judah,

¹³ But have gone in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the people of Jerusalem go after false gods, as the family of Ahab did: and because you have put to death your father's sons, your brothers, who were better than yourself:

¹⁴ Now, truly, the Lord will send a great destruction on your people and your children and your wives and everything which is yours:

¹⁵ And you yourself will undergo the cruel pains of a disease in your stomach, so that day by day your inside will be falling out because of the disease.

¹⁶ Then the Philistines and the Arabians, who are by Ethiopia, were moved by the Lord to make war on Jehoram;

¹⁷ And they came up against Judah, forcing a way into it, and took away all the goods in the king's house, as well as his sons and his wives; so that he had no son but only Jehoahaz, the youngest.

¹⁸ And after all this the Lord sent on him a disease of the stomach from which it was impossible for him to be made well.

¹⁹ And time went on, and after two years, his inside falling out because of the disease, he came to his death in cruel pain. And his people made no burning for him like the burning made for his fathers.
