^13 (A)but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel and have enticed Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem ^(B)into whoredom, ^(C)as the house of Ahab led Israel into whoredom, and also you ^(D)have killed your brothers, of your father's house, who were better than you, ¹⁴ behold, the Lord will bring a great plague on your people, your children, your wives, and all your possessions, ¹⁵ and you yourself will have a severe sickness ^(E)with a disease of your bowels, until your bowels come out because of the disease, day by day.’”

^16 (F)And the Lord stirred up against Jehoram the anger^[a] of the Philistines and of ^(G)the Arabians who are near the Ethiopians. ¹⁷ And they came up against Judah and invaded it and carried away all the possessions they found that belonged to the king's house, and also his sons and his wives, so that no son was left to him except ^(H)Jehoahaz, his youngest son.
