Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Jehoram his son reigned in his place. 1Ki 22:502Ch 12:162Ch 21:202Ch 9:312Ki 8:16-17 He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel. 2Ch 12:62Ch 23:22Ch 24:52Ch 21:42Ch 24:162Ch 28:192Ch 28:232Ch 28:27 Their father gave them great gifts of silver, of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn. 2Ch 11:232Ch 11:5Deu 21:15-17Gen 25:6 Now when Jehoram had risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and also some of the princes of Israel. Jdg 9:52Ch 21:172Ch 22:10Gen 4:81Jn 3:122Ch 22:8Jdg 9:56-57 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 2Ki 8:17-22 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house, for he had Ahab’s daughter as his wife. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight. 2Ch 18:11Ki 12:28-302Ki 8:181Ki 16:25-332Ch 22:2Neh 13:25-26 However the LORD would not destroy David’s house, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a lamp to him and to his children always. 1Ki 11:36Psa 132:17-182Sa 7:12-17Luk 1:69Luk 1:791Ki 11:132Ch 22:112Ki 8:19
In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves. 1Ki 22:472Ch 20:22-232Ch 21:102Ki 3:92Ki 8:20-22Gen 27:40 Then Jehoram went there with his captains and all his chariots with him. He rose up by night and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, along with the captains of the chariots. So Edom has been in revolt from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time from under his hand, because he had forsaken the LORD, the God of his fathers. 1Ki 11:311Ki 11:332Ch 13:102Ch 15:22Ki 19:8Deu 32:21Jer 2:13Jos 21:13
Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem play the prostitute, and led Judah astray. Lev 20:51Ki 11:7Lev 17:71Ki 14:161Ki 14:92Ch 21:132Ch 33:92Ki 21:11 A letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, “the LORD, the God of David your father, says, ‘Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah, 2Ch 14:2-52Ch 17:3-42Ki 2:11Ki 15:111Ki 22:432Ki 2:11Dan 5:25-29Dan 5:5 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 Ahab’s house did, and also have slain your brothers of your father’s house, who were better than yourself, 2Ch 21:42Ch 21:111Ki 16:30-332Ch 21:61Jn 3:121Ki 16:251Ki 2:31-332Ki 9:22 behold, the LORD will strike your people with a great plague, including your children, your wives, and all your possessions; Lev 26:21Exo 20:5Hos 5:11Mic 6:16 and you will have great sickness with a disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day.’” 2Ch 21:18-19Act 1:18Deu 28:27Deu 28:37Deu 28:59Deu 28:61Deu 28:67Num 5:27
The LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians; 2Ch 17:111Ki 11:141Ki 11:232Ch 22:12Ch 33:111Ki 11:111Sa 26:192Ch 26:7 and they came up against Judah, broke into it, and carried away all the possessions that were found in the king’s house, including his sons and his wives, so that there was no son left to him except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons. 2Ch 22:12Ch 22:62Ch 25:232Ch 24:7Job 5:3-4
After all this the LORD struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease. 2Ch 21:15Act 12:232Ki 9:29 In process of time, at the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died of severe diseases. His people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers. 2Ch 16:14Jer 34:5 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. He departed with no one’s regret. They buried him in David’s city, but not in the tombs of the kings. Jer 22:182Ch 24:252Ch 28:27Jer 22:282Ch 23:21Pro 10:7
