Chap: XXI.
note
Iosaphat dieth, and Ioram succeding killeth his owne brethren, and some
other chiefe men. 6. reigneth wickedly. 8. Edom, and Lobna reuols
from him. 12. Elias by letters forwarneth him of plagues, 16. which
falling vpon him, he dieth after two yeares languishing, and horrible
disease.
1 And Iosaphat slept with his fathers, & was buried with
them in the Citie of Dauid: and Ioram his sonne reigned
for him.
2 Who had brethren the sonnes of Iosaphat, Azarias,
and Iahiel, and Zacharias, and Azarias, and Michael, and
Saphatias. al these were the sonnes of Iosaphat the king of
Iuda.
3 And their father gaue them manie giftes of siluer,
and of gold, and pensions, with the most fensed cities in Iuda:
but the kingdom he deliuered to Ioram, because he was the
first begotten.
4 And Ioram rose ouer the kingdom of his
fathet: and when he had established himself, he slew al his
brethren with the sword, and certain of the princes of Israel.
5 Two and thirtie yeare old was Ioram when he began to
reigne: and he reigned eight yeares in Ierusalem.
6 And he
walked in the waies of the kinges of Israel, as the house of
Achab had done: for Achabs daughter was his wife, and he
did euil in the sight of our Lord.
7 But our Lord would not
destroy the house of Dauid for the couenant, which he had
made with him: and because he had promised that he would
geue him a lampe, and to his sonnes for euer.
8 In those daies
Edom rebelled, from being subiect to Iuda, and made them
selues a king.
9 And when Ioram had passed with his princes,
and al the horsemen, that were with him, he rose in the night,
-- --
Ioram.
and stroke Edom, which had compassed him, and al the captaynes
of his horsemen.
10 But yet Edom rebelled, from being
vnder the dominion of Iuda vntil this day: at that time Lobna
also reuolted, from being vnder his hand. For he had forsaken
our Lord the God of their fathers:
11 moreouer he built
also excelses in the cities of Iuda, and he made the inhabitantes
of Ierusalem to fornicate, and Iuda to transgresse.
12 And there were letters brought him note from Elias the prophete,
in which was Writen: Thus sayth our Lord the God
of Dauid thy father: Because thou hast not walked in the
waies of Iosaphat thy father, & in the waies of Asa the king
of Iuda,
13 but hast gone by the waies of the kinges of Israel,
and hast made Iuda to fornicate, and the inhabitantes of
Ierusalem, hauing imitated the fornication of the house of
Achab, moreouer also hast killed thy brethren, the house of
thy father, better men then thou:
14 behold our Lord wil
strike thee with a great plague with al thy people, and children,
and thy wiues, and al thy substance.
15 And thou shalt be
sicke of a very sore disease of thy bealie, til thy vital partes
come forth by litle and litle euerie day.
16 Our Lord therfore
raised vp agaynst Ioram the spirit of the Philisthianes, and of
the Arabians, which are borderers to the Æthiopians.
17 and
they went vp into the Land of Iuda, and wasted it, and they
spoyled al the substance, that was found in the kinges house,
moreouer also his sonnes, and wiues: neither was there a
sonne left him but Ioachaz, who was the yongest.
18 And
beside al these thinges our Lord stroke him with an incurable
disease of the bealie.
19 And when day succeded day, and
the spaces of times passed about, the circuite of two yeares
was complete: and soe being wasted with a long comsumption,
soe that he voyded euen his very bowels, he was ridde
of the disease, and of his life together. And he died in an
exceding vile infirmitie, & the people made him not exequies
according to the maner of burning, as they had done to
his anceters.
20 He was two and thirtie yeares old, when he
began to reigne, and he reigned eight yeares in Ierusalem.
And he walked not rightly, and they buried him in the Citie
of Dauid: but yet not in the sepulchre of the kinges.
