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.
