21 约沙法与祖先同眠后，葬在大卫城他的祖坟里。他儿子约兰继位。
犹大王约兰
2 亚撒利雅、耶歇、撒迦利雅、亚撒列夫、米迦勒和示法提雅是约兰的兄弟、犹大王约沙法的儿子。 3 他们的父亲赐给他们许多金银、财宝和犹大境内的坚城，但将王位赐给了约兰，因为他是长子。 4 约兰登基，巩固了王位后，就用刀杀了他所有的兄弟和一些以色列首领。 5 约兰三十二岁登基，在耶路撒冷执政八年。 6 他与亚哈家一样步以色列诸王的后尘，因为他娶了亚哈的女儿为妻，做耶和华视为恶的事。 7 但耶和华不愿毁灭大卫家，因为祂曾与大卫立约，应许让大卫和他的子孙永远做王。
8 约兰执政期间，以东人反叛犹大，自己立王。 9 约兰率将领及所有战车前去讨伐，结果被以东人包围。但他们乘夜突出重围。 10 以东人至今仍脱离犹大的统治，立拿人也在那时候叛变了，因为约兰背弃了他祖先的上帝耶和华。 11 约兰在犹大的山上修建丘坛，引诱耶路撒冷的居民和犹大人与假神苟合。
12 以利亚先知写信给约兰说：“你祖先大卫的上帝耶和华这样说，‘因为你没有效法你父亲约沙法，也没有效法犹大王亚撒， 13 而是重蹈以色列诸王的覆辙，与亚哈家一样，引诱犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民与假神苟合，还杀了比你好的兄弟。 14 因此，耶和华要降大灾祸给你的人民、儿女、妻妾及一切所有。 15 你必患严重的肠病，并且日益加重，直到你的肠子掉出来。’”
16 耶和华驱使非利士人和古实附近的阿拉伯人攻打约兰。 17 他们起兵攻打犹大，侵入境内，掳走了王宫里的所有财物以及约兰的儿子和妻妾，只留下他最小的儿子约哈斯。
18 这事以后，耶和华使约兰患了无法医治的肠病， 19 日益加重，两年后肠子掉了出来，他痛苦地死去了。他的百姓没有像对待他祖先那样向他焚火致哀。 20 约兰三十二岁登基，在耶路撒冷执政八年。他死后无人向他致哀。他葬在大卫城，但没有葬在王陵里。

21 約沙法與祖先同眠後，葬在大衛城他的祖墳裡。他兒子約蘭繼位。
猶大王約蘭
2 亞撒利雅、耶歇、撒迦利雅、亞撒列夫、米迦勒和示法提雅是約蘭的兄弟、猶大王約沙法的兒子。 3 他們的父親賜給他們許多金銀、財寶和猶大境內的堅城，但將王位賜給了約蘭，因為他是長子。 4 約蘭登基，鞏固了王位後，就用刀殺了他所有的兄弟和一些以色列首領。 5 約蘭三十二歲登基，在耶路撒冷執政八年。 6 他與亞哈家一樣步以色列諸王的後塵，因為他娶了亞哈的女兒為妻，做耶和華視為惡的事。 7 但耶和華不願毀滅大衛家，因為祂曾與大衛立約，應許讓大衛和他的子孫永遠做王。
8 約蘭執政期間，以東人反叛猶大，自己立王。 9 約蘭率將領及所有戰車前去討伐，結果被以東人包圍。但他們乘夜突出重圍。 10 以東人至今仍脫離猶大的統治，立拿人也在那時候叛變了，因為約蘭背棄了他祖先的上帝耶和華。 11 約蘭在猶大的山上修建邱壇，引誘耶路撒冷的居民和猶大人與假神苟合。
12 以利亞先知寫信給約蘭說：「你祖先大衛的上帝耶和華這樣說，『因為你沒有效法你父親約沙法，也沒有效法猶大王亞撒， 13 而是重蹈以色列諸王的覆轍，與亞哈家一樣，引誘猶大人和耶路撒冷的居民與假神苟合，還殺了比你好的兄弟。 14 因此，耶和華要降大災禍給你的人民、兒女、妻妾及一切所有。 15 你必患嚴重的腸病，並且日益加重，直到你的腸子掉出來。』」
16 耶和華驅使非利士人和古實附近的阿拉伯人攻打約蘭。 17 他們起兵攻打猶大，侵入境內，擄走了王宮裡的所有財物以及約蘭的兒子和妻妾，只留下他最小的兒子約哈斯。
18 這事以後，耶和華使約蘭患了無法醫治的腸病， 19 日益加重，兩年後腸子掉了出來，他痛苦地死去了。他的百姓沒有像對待他祖先那樣向他焚火致哀。 20 約蘭三十二歲登基，在耶路撒冷執政八年。他死後無人向他致哀。他葬在大衛城，但沒有葬在王陵裡。
2 Chronicles 21
Expanded Bible
21 Jehoshaphat ·died [L lay down/T slept with his fathers/ancestors] and was buried with his ·ancestors [fathers] in the City of David [C Jerusalem]. Then his son Jehoram became king in his place. 2 Jehoram’s brothers were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariahu, Michael, and Shephatiah. They were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of ·Judah [L Israel; 12:6]. 3 Jehoshaphat gave his sons many gifts of silver, gold, and ·valuable [precious] things, and he gave them ·strong, walled [fortified] cities in Judah. But Jehoshaphat gave the kingdom to Jehoram, because he was the ·first son [firstborn].
Jehoram King of Judah(A)
4 When Jehoram took control of his father’s kingdom and ·made himself secure [established himself], he killed all his brothers with the sword and also killed some of the ·leaders [officials] of Judah. 5 He was thirty-two years old when he began to ·rule [reign], and he ·ruled [reigned] eight years in Jerusalem. 6 He ·followed [L walked] in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the ·family [L house] of Ahab had done, because he married Ahab’s daughter. Jehoram did ·what the Lord said was wrong [L evil in the Lord’s sight/eyes]. 7 But the Lord would not destroy David’s ·family [L house] because of the ·agreement [covenant; treaty] he had made with David. He had promised ·that one of David’s descendants would always rule [L to give a lamp to David and his descendants/sons forever; C here a lamp symbolizes a dynasty].
8 In Jehoram’s time, Edom ·broke away from [revolted/rebelled against] Judah’s ·rule [reign] and ·chose [set up] their own king. 9 So Jehoram went to Edom with all his ·commanders [officers] and chariots. The Edomites surrounded him and his chariot ·commanders [officers], but Jehoram got up and attacked the Edomites at night [C the implication is that Jehoram is victorious, but the next verse suggests otherwise; see 2 Kin. 8:21]. 10 From then until now the country of Edom has ·fought against [been free from] the ·rule [reign] of Judah. At the same time the people of Libnah also ·broke away from [rebelled/revolted against] Jehoram because Jehoram ·left [abandoned; forsook] the Lord, the God of his ·ancestors [fathers].
11 Jehoram also built ·places to worship gods [L high places; 11:15] on the hills in Judah. He led the people of Jerusalem to ·sin [commit adultery; L play the harlot], and he led the people of Judah ·away from the Lord [astray]. 12 Then Jehoram received this letter from Elijah the prophet:
·This is what the Lord says [T Thus says the Lord], the God of your ·ancestor [father] David, “Jehoram, you have not ·lived as [L walked in the ways of] your father Jehoshaphat and Asa king of Judah. 13 But you have ·lived as the kings of Israel lived [L walked in the way of the kings of Israel], leading the people of Judah and Jerusalem to ·sin against God [commit adultery; L play the harlot], as Ahab and his ·family [L house] did. You have killed your brothers, your own family, and they were better than you. 14 So now the Lord is about to ·punish [severely strike] your people, your children, your wives, and everything you own. 15 You will have a terrible disease in your ·intestines [bowels] that will become worse every day until your intestines ·come out [protrude].”
16 The Lord caused the Philistines and the Arabs who lived near the ·Cushites [Ethiopians] to be ·angry with [L stirred in their spirits against] Jehoram. 17 So the Philistines and Arabs attacked and invaded Judah and carried away all the wealth of Jehoram’s ·palace [L house], as well as his sons and wives. Only Jehoram’s youngest son, Ahaziah, was left.
Jehoram Dies(B)
18 After these things happened, the Lord ·gave Jehoram [struck/afflicted/T smote him with] a disease in his ·intestines [bowels] that could not be cured. 19 After he was sick for two years, Jehoram’s ·intestines [bowels] ·came out [protruded] because of the disease, and he died in ·terrible pain [agony]. The people did not make a funeral fire to honor Jehoram as they had done for his ·ancestors [fathers].
20 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he ·ruled [reigned] eight years in Jerusalem. No one ·was sad [regretted] when he died. He was buried in the City of David [C Jerusalem], but not in the ·graves for [tombs of] the kings.
