11 Moreover, he made high places in the hill country of Judah and led the inhabitants of Jerusalem (A)into whoredom and made Judah go astray. 12 And a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, “Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father, (B)‘Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, or (C)in the ways of Asa king of Judah, 13 (D)but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel and have enticed Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem (E)into whoredom, (F)as the house of Ahab led Israel into whoredom, and also you (G)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 (H)with a disease of your bowels, until your bowels come out because of the disease, day by day.’”

16 (I)And the Lord stirred up against Jehoram the anger[a] of the Philistines and of (J)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 (K)Jehoahaz, his youngest son.

18 And after all this the Lord struck him (L)in his bowels with an incurable disease. 19 In the course of time, at the end of two years, his bowels came out because of the disease, and he died in great agony. His people made no fire in his honor, (M)like the fires made for his fathers. 20 (N)He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he departed (O)with no one's regret. (P)They buried him in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
