¶ The .xxj. Chapter.
¶ Iehosaphat dyeth, and Iehoram succeadeth hym,
which putteth to death his brethren, and is oppressed
of the Philistines, and dyeth of the flyxe.
A Iehosaphat also note slepte &wt; hys fathers,
and was buryd with his fathers
in the citie of Dauid, ∧ Iehoram
his s&obar;ne raygned in his steade:
and he had brethr&ebar; which were the sonnes of
Iehosaphat. Asaria, Iehiel, Zacharia, Asaria,
Michael, ∧ Sephatiahu. All these were
þe; sonnes of Iehosaphat kynge of Iuda. And
their father gaue th&ebar; many greate gyftes of
golde, and syluer, and other speciall substa&ubar;ce,
&wt; stronge cityes in Iuda: but the kyngdome
gaue he to Iehoram, for he was the eldest.
And Iehoram rose vp agaynst þe; kyngdome
of his father, and preuayled, and note slue
all his brethren with the swerde, ∧ diuerse of

Iehoram.
the lordes of Israel. noteIehoram was .xxxij.
yere olde wh&abar; he beganne to raygne, and he
raygned eight yere in Ierusal&ebar;.
B And he walked
in the waye of the kinges of Israel, lyke
as dyd the house of Ahab, for he had the daughter
of Ahab to wyfe, ∧ he wrought euell
in the eyes of the Lorde. Howbeit, the Lord
wolde nott destroye the house of Dauid, because
of the note couenaunt that he had made
with Dauid, as he promysed to gyue a light
to hym and to hys sonnes for euer.
noteIn hys dayes the Edomites rebelled,
wh&abar; they were vnder the dominyon of Iuda,
and made th&ebar; selues a kinge. And Iehor&abar;
w&ebar;t forth &wt; his lordes, and all hys charettes
were &wt; hym: ∧ he rose vp by nyght, ∧ smote
þt; Edomites, which c&obar;pased him in, ∧ the captaynes
of þe; charettes. But Edom rebelled
styll, so þt; they wolde not be vnder the hande
of Iuda vnto this daye. That same time also
dyd Libna departe from beyng vnder his
C
hande, because Iehor&abar; had forsaken þe; Lorde
God of his fathers. Moreouer, he made hylaulters
in the cyties of Iuda, and caused the
enhabiters of Ierusalem to c&obar;myt fornycacyon,
and prouoked Iuda to Idolatrye.
And there came a writynge to him from
Elia þe; prophete, saying: Thus sayth þe; Lord
God of Dauid thy father: because þu; hast not
walked in the wayes of Iehosaphat thy father,
∧ in the wayes of Asa kynge of Iuda,
but walkedst in the wayes of the kynges of
Israel, ∧ hast made Iuda ∧ the dwellers of
Ierusalem to go a whoring, lyke to þe; whordome
of the house of Ahab, ∧ hast slayne thy
brethren, eu&ebar; thy fathers house, which were
better then thou: beholde, &wt; a greate plage
wyll the Lorde smyte thy folke, thy childr&ebar;,
thy wyues, and thy goodes. And thou shalt
suffre great payne: eu&ebar; a dysease of thy bowelles,
vntyll thy guttes fall out by reason of
thy sycknes, daye by daye.
D And so the Lorde stered vp agaynst Iehor&abar;
the sprete of the Philistines, ∧ the Arabians
þt; were besyde the blacke mores. And
they came vp into Iuda, and wasted it, and
caryed awaye all the substa&ubar;ce þt; was found
in the kynges house, and hys sonnes, and his
wyues: so that there was neuer a sonne lefte
him saue Iehohahaz which was the yongest
am&obar;ge hys sonnes. And after all these thynges,
the Lorde smote him in his bowelles &wt;
an incurable disease. And it came to passe, þt;
in processe of tyme, euen after þe; ende of two
yeres, hys guttes fell out in his sycknes: and
so he dyed of very euell diseases. And they
made no &rhand; burnynge for him lyke the burnyng
of hys fathers. Wh&ebar; he beg&abar;ne to raygne,
he was .xxij. yeare olde, and raygned in
Ierusal&ebar; .viij. yere, ∧ lyued wretchedly: howbeit
they buryed hym in the citye of Dauid:
but not among þe; sepulchres of the kynges.
Ahaziahu.
