Divrey Hayamim Bais 21
Orthodox Jewish Bible
21 Now Yehoshaphat slept with his avot, and was buried with his avot in Ir Dovid. And Yehoram bno reigned in his place.
2 And he had achim, the Bnei Yehoshaphat, Azaryah, and Yechiel, and Zecharyahu, and Azaryahu, and Michael, and Shephatyahu. All these were the Bnei Yehoshaphat Melech Yisroel.
3 And their av have given them mattanot rabbot of kesef, and of zahav, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Yehudah, but the Mamlachah (Kingdom) he gave to Yehoram; because he was the bechor.
4 Now when Yehoram was risen up to the Mamlachah of his av, he strengthened himself, and slaughtered all his achim with the cherev, and also a number of the sarim (leading political figures) of Yisroel.
5 Yehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned shemoneh shanim in Yerushalayim.
6 And he walked in the derech of the melachim of Yisroel, as did the Bais Ach’av, for he had the Bat Ach’av to wife, and he wrought that which was rah in the eyes of Hashem.
7 However, Hashem was not willing to destroy the Bais Dovid, for the sake of HaBrit that He had cut with Dovid, and since He promised to give a ner (lamp) to him and to his banim kol hayamim.
8 In the days of Yehoram, Edom rebelled from under the yad Yehudah, and made themselves a melech.
9 Then Yehoram went forth with his sarim (princes), and all his chariots with him, and he rose up by lailah, and struck down Edom which had surrounded him, and the commanders of the chariots.
10 So the Edomites rebelled from under the yad Yehudah unto this day. At the same time also did Livnah rebel from under his yad, because he had forsaken Hashem Elohei Avotav.
11 Moreover he built high places [unlawful altars] in the mountains of Yehudah and caused the inhabitants of Yerushalayim to commit fornication, and led Yehudah astray.
12 And there came a miktav (letter) to him from Eliyahu HaNavi, saying, Thus saith Hashem Elohei Dovid Avicha, Because thou hast not walked in the darkhei Yehoshaphat Avicha, nor in the darkhei Asa Melech Yehudah,
13 But hast walked in the derech of the melachim of Yisroel, and hast made Yehudah and the inhabitants of Yerushalayim to go awhoring, like the whoredoms of the Bais Ach’av, and also hast murdered thy achim of Bais Avicha, which were better than thee;
14 Hinei, with a maggefah gedolah (great plague) will Hashem strike thy people, and thy banim, and thy nashim, and all thy possessions;
15 And thou shalt have cholayim rabbim with machla (disease) of thy bowels, until thy bowels come out by reason of the choli yamim al yamim.
16 Moreover Hashem stirred up against Yehoram the ruach HaPelishtim, and of the Arabs, who lived near the Kushim;
17 And they came up against Yehudah, and invaded, and carried away all the possessions that were found in the Bais HaMelech, and also his banim, and his nashim; so that there was left him not a ben except Yehoachaz (Achazyahu, Ahaziah), the youngest of his banim.
18 And after all this Hashem struck him in his bowels with a choli for which there was no marpeh.
19 And it came to pass that in process of time, after the end of two years, his bowels protruded out by reason of his choli; so he died in great pain. And his people kindled no pyre in his honor, as they had done for his avot.
20 Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Yerushalayim shemoneh shanim, and departed without chemdah (desire [for him]). Howbeit they buried him in the Ir Dovid, but not in the kevarot hamelachim.
2 Chronicles 21
King James Version
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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
5 Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
6 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.
7 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.
8 In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king.
9 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.
10 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.
11 Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah thereto.
12 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,
13 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 Behold, with a great plague will the Lord smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods:
15 And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.
16 Moreover the Lord stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were near the Ethiopians:
17 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.
18 And after all this the Lord smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
19 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.
20 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.
2 Crónicas 21
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Reinado de Joram
21 Josafat durmió con sus padres, y fue sepultado con sus padres en la ciudad de David. Su hijo Joram reinó en su lugar(A). 2 Tenía varios hermanos, los hijos de Josafat: Azarías, Jehiel, Zacarías, Azaryahu, Micael y Sefatías. Todos estos eran hijos de Josafat, rey de Israel(B). 3 Su padre les había dado muchos presentes de plata, oro y cosas preciosas, y[a] ciudades fortificadas en Judá(C), pero dio el reino a Joram porque era el primogénito.
4 Cuando Joram tomó posesión del[b] reino de su padre y se hizo fuerte, mató a espada a todos sus hermanos(D), y también a algunos de los jefes de Israel. 5 (E)Joram tenía treinta y dos años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó ocho años en Jerusalén. 6 Y anduvo en el camino de los reyes de Israel(F), tal como había hecho la casa de Acab (pues la hija de Acab era su mujer(G)), e hizo lo malo ante los ojos del Señor. 7 Sin embargo, el Señor no quiso destruir la casa de David a causa del pacto que había hecho con David, y porque le había prometido[c] darle una lámpara[d] a él y a sus hijos para siempre(H).
8 En sus días se rebeló Edom contra el dominio[e] de Judá(I), y pusieron rey sobre ellos. 9 Entonces pasó Joram con sus capitanes, y todos sus carros con él. Y levantándose de noche, atacó[f] a los edomitas que lo tenían cercado a él y a los capitanes de los carros. 10 Y Edom continuó en rebeldía contra el dominio[g] de Judá hasta el día de hoy. Entonces Libna se rebeló en ese mismo tiempo contra su dominio, porque había abandonado al Señor, Dios de sus padres. 11 Además, Joram hizo lugares altos en los montes de Judá(J), haciendo que los habitantes de Jerusalén se prostituyeran(K) y que Judá se desviara.
12 Entonces le llegó a Joram una carta del profeta Elías, que decía: «Así dice el Señor, Dios de tu padre David: “Por cuanto no has andado en los caminos de Josafat(L) tu padre, ni en los caminos de Asa(M), rey de Judá, 13 sino que has andado en el camino de los reyes de Israel(N), y has hecho que Judá y los habitantes de Israel se hayan prostituido como se prostituyó la casa de Acab(O), y también has matado a tus hermanos(P), tu propia familia[h], que eran mejores que tú, 14 el Señor herirá con gran azote[i] a tu pueblo, a tus hijos, a tus mujeres y a todas tus posesiones; 15 y tú sufrirás una grave enfermedad[j], una enfermedad(Q) de los intestinos, hasta que día tras día se te[k] salgan a causa de la enfermedad”».
16 Entonces el Señor movió contra(R) Joram el espíritu de los filisteos y de los árabes(S) que eran vecinos[l] de los etíopes; 17 los cuales subieron contra Judá y la invadieron, y se llevaron todas las posesiones que se hallaban en la casa del rey, y también a sus hijos y a sus mujeres, de modo que no le quedó más hijo que Joacaz[m](T), el menor de sus hijos.
18 Después de todo esto, el Señor hirió a Joram en los intestinos con una enfermedad incurable(U). 19 Con el correr del tiempo, después de dos años, los intestinos se le salieron a causa de su enfermedad, y murió con grandes dolores. Su pueblo no le encendió una hoguera como la hoguera que habían encendido por sus padres(V). 20 Joram tenía treinta y dos años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó ocho años en Jerusalén; y murió sin que nadie lo lamentara[n](W). Lo sepultaron en la ciudad de David, pero no en los sepulcros de los reyes(X).
