14:021:005 Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign,
           and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

14:021:006 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did
           the house of Ahab:  for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: 
           and he wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the lord.

14:021:007 Howbeit the lord would not destroy the house of David, because
           of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he
           promised to give a light to him and to his sons for ever.

14:021:008 In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of
           Judah, and made themselves a king.

14:021:009 Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his chariots
           with him:  and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites
           which compassed him in, and the captains of the chariots.

14:021:010 So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto
           this day.  The same time also did Libnah revolt from under his
           hand; because he had forsaken the lord God of his fathers.

14:021:011 Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah and
           caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and
           compelled Judah thereto.

14:021:012 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,

14:021:013 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: 

14:021:014 Behold, with a great plague will the lord smite thy people,
           and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods: 

14:021:015 And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels,
           until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by
           day.

14:021:016 Moreover the lord stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the
           Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were near the
           Ethiopians: 

14:021:017 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.

14:021:018 And after all this the lord smote him in his bowels with an
           incurable disease.
