2 Chronicles 21

Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.

Now Jehoshaphat passed away and was buried with his ancestors in the city of David. His son Jehoram took over the kingdom.

And he had brethren the sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah: all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.

He had brothers - Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah. They were all the children of King Jehoshaphat of Israel.

And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fenced cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram; because he was the firstborn.

Their dad gave them lots of silver, gold, and valuable items, along with protected cities in Judah. However, he made Jehoram the king because he was the oldest child.

Now when Jehoram was risen up to the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren with the sword, and divers also of the princes of Israel.

When Jehoram took over his father's kingdom, he became strong and killed all his brothers using a sword, as well as many important leaders in Israel.

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

Jehoram became king at age 32 and ruled for 8 years in Jerusalem.

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.

He behaved like the Israeli kings, especially like the family of Ahab, because he married Ahab's daughter. He did things that the LORD found wrong.

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.

However, the LORD did not destroy David's family because of the promise He made with David. He also promised to provide them with light forever.

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

During his time, the people of Edom rebelled against being ruled by Judah and chose their own king.

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.

Then Jehoram and his leaders left with all their chariots. At night, they attacked the people of Edom around them and their chariot commanders.

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.

So, the people of Edom rebelled against Judah and still do. At the same time, Libnah also rebelled. This happened because Judah stopped following the God his ancestors worshiped.

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

He built tall structures on Judah's mountains and forced the people of Jerusalem to engage in immorality, making Judah join in as well.

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,

Elijah the prophet sent a message to him, saying, The Lord God of your father David is speaking: You haven't followed the paths of your father Jehoshaphat or the paths of King Asa from Judah.

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:

But you acted like the kings of Israel, leading Judah and Jerusalem's people into sin, just like Ahab's family. You also killed your brothers from your father's family, who were better than you.

Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods:

Look, the LORD will punish your people, your children, your wives, and everything you own, with a terrible sickness.

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

You will have severe illness in your stomach area, causing it to weaken and eventually fall out due to the sickness each day.

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

Additionally, the LORD incited the Philistines and nearby Arabians, who were close to the Ethiopians, against Jehoram.

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.

They entered Judah, broke into it, took everything from the king's house, along with his sons and wives. Only one son remained, the youngest named Jehoahaz.

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

Then, after everything, the LORD made him sick with a disease that couldn't be cured in his belly.

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.

One day, after two years of being sick, the man's insides came out and he passed away due to his illness. His people didn't create a funeral pyre for him like they did for his ancestors.

Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being desired. Howbeit they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.

He was 32 when he started ruling in Jerusalem and ruled for 8 years. People didn't want him to continue. He was buried in the city of David, but not in the tombs where other kings were buried.
