역대하 21

1여호사밧이 그 열조와 함께 자매 그 열조와 함께 다윗 성에 장사되고 그 아들 여호람이 대신하여 왕이 되니라 2여호사밧의 아들 여호람의 아우 아사랴와 여히엘과 스가랴와 아사랴와 미가엘과 스바댜는 다 유다 왕 여호사밧의 아들이라 3그 부친이 저희에게는 은금과 보물과 유다 견고한 성읍들을 선물로 후히 주었고 여호람은 장자인고로 왕위를 주었더니 4여호람이 그 부친의 위에 올라 세력을 얻은 후에 그 모든 아우와 이스라엘 방백 중 몇 사람을 칼로 죽였더라 5여호람이 위에 나아갈 때에 나이 삼십이 세라 예루살렘에서 팔 년을 치리하니라 6저가 이스라엘 왕들의 길로 행하여 아합의 집과 같이 하였으니 이는 아합의 딸이 그 아내가 되었음이라 저가 여호와 보시기에 악을 행하였으나 7여호와께서 다윗의 집을 멸하기를 즐겨하지 아니하셨음은 이전에 다윗으로 더불어 언약을 세우시고 또 다윗과 그 자손에게 항상 등불을 주겠다고 허하셨음이더라 8여호람 때에 에돔이 배반하여 유다의 수하에서 벗어나 자기 위에 왕을 세운고로 9여호람이 장관들과 모든 병거를 거느리고 출정하였더니 밤에 일어나서 자기를 에워싼 에돔 사람과 그 병거의 장관들을 쳤더라 10이와 같이 에돔이 배반하여 유다의 수하에서 벗어났더니 오늘날까지 그러하였으며 그 때에 립나도 배반하여 여호람의 수하에서 벗어났으니 이는 저가 그 열조의 하나님 여호와를 버렸음이더라 11여호람이 또 유다 여러 산에 산당을 세워 예루살렘 거민으로 음란하듯 우상을 섬기게 하고 또 유다를 미혹케 하였으므로 12선지자 엘리야가 여호람에게 글을 보내어 가로되 왕의 조상 다윗의 하나님 여호와의 말씀이 네가 네 아비 여호사밧의 길과 유다 왕 아사의 길로 행치 아니하고 13오직 이스라엘 열왕의 길로 행하여 유다와 예루살렘 거민으로 음란하듯 우상을 섬기게 하기를 아합의 집과 같이 하며 또 너의 아비 집에서 너보다 선한 아우들을 죽였으니 14여호와가 네 백성과 네 자녀와 네 아내들과 네 모든 재물을 큰 재앙으로 치리라 15또 너는 창자에 중병이 들고 그 병이 날로 중하여 창자가 빠져나오리라 하셨다 하였더라 16여호와께서 블레셋 사람과 구스에서 가까운 아라비아 사람의 마음을 격동시키사 여호람을 치게 하셨으므로 17그 무리가 올라와서 유다를 침노하여 왕궁의 모든 재물과 그 아들들과 아내들을 탈취하였으므로 말째 아들 여호아하스 외에는 한 아들도 남지 아니하였더라 18이 모든 일 후에 여호와께서 여호람을 치사 능히 고치지 못할 병이 그 창자에 들게 하셨으므로 19여러 날 후 이 년만에 그 창자가 그 병으로 인하여 빠져나오매 저가 그 심한 병으로 죽으니 백성이 그 열조에게 분향하던 것 같이 저에게 분향하지 아니하였으며 20여호람이 삼십이 세에 즉위하고 예루살렘에서 팔 년을 치리하다가 아끼는 자 없이 세상을 떠났으며 무리가 저를 다윗 성에 장사하였었으나 열왕의 묘실에는 두지 아니하였더라

1Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Jehoram his son reigned in his place. 2He had brothers, 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. 3Their father gave them great gifts, of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn. 4Now when Jehoram was risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and various also of the princes of Israel. 5Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 6He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab; for he had the daughter of Ahab as wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh. 7However Yahweh would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a lamp to him and to his children always. 8In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves. 9Then Jehoram passed over with his captains, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, along with the captains of the chariots. 10So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day: then Libnah revolted at the same time from under his hand, because he had forsaken Yahweh, the God of his fathers. 11Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute, and led Judah astray. 12A letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of David your father, ‘Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah, 13but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute, like the house of Ahab did, and also have slain your brothers of your father’s house, who were better than yourself: 14behold, Yahweh will strike with a great plague your people, and your children, and your wives, and all your substance; 15and you shall have great sickness by disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day.’” 16Yahweh stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians: 17and they came up against Judah, and broke 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, except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons. 18After all this Yahweh struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease. 19In process of time, at the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died of severe diseases. His people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers. 20Thirty-two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years: and he departed without being desired; and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.

1Daarna ontsliep Josafat met zijn vaderen, en werd begraven bij zijn vaderen in de stad Davids; en zijn zoon Joram werd koning in zijn plaats. 2En hij had broederen, Josafats zonen, Azarja, en Jehiel, en Zecharja, en Azarjahu, en Michael, en Sefatja; deze allen waren zonen van Josafat, den koning van Israel. 3En hun vader had hun vele gaven gegeven van zilver, en van goud, en van kostelijkheden, met vaste steden in Juda; maar het koninkrijk gaf hij Joram, omdat hij de eerstgeborene was. 4Als Joram tot het koninkrijk zijns vaders opgekomen was, en zich versterkt had, zo doodde hij al zijn broederen met het zwaard, mitsgaders ook enige van de vorsten van Israel. 5Twee en dertig jaar was Joram oud, toen hij koning werd, en hij regeerde acht jaren te Jeruzalem. 6En hij wandelde in de weg der koningen van Israel, gelijk als het huis van Achab deed; want hij had de dochter van Achab tot een vrouw; en hij deed dat kwaad was in de ogen des HEEREN. 7Doch de HEERE wilde het huis Davids niet verderven, om des verbonds wil, dat Hij met David gemaakt had; en gelijk als Hij gezegd had, hem en zijn zonen te allen dage een lamp te zullen geven. 8In zijn dagen vielen de Edomieten af van onder het gebied van Juda, en zij maakten over zich een koning. 9Daarom toog Joram voort met zijn oversten, en al de wagenen met hem; en hij maakte zich des nachts op, en sloeg de Edomieten, die rondom hem waren, en de oversten der wagenen. 10Evenwel vielen de Edomieten af van onder het gebied van Juda, tot op dezen dag; toen ter zelfder tijd viel Libna af, van onder zijn gebied, want hij had den HEERE, den God zijner vaderen, verlaten. 11Ook maakte hij hoogten op de bergen van Juda; en hij deed de inwoners van Jeruzalem hoereren, ja, hij dreef Juda daartoe. 12Zo kwam een schrift tot hem van den profeet Elia, zeggende: Alzo zegt de HEERE, de God van uw vader David: Omdat gij in de wegen van uw vader Josafat, en in de wegen van Asa, den koning van Juda, niet gewandeld hebt; 13Maar hebt gewandeld in den weg der koningen van Israel, en hebt Juda en de inwoners van Jeruzalem doen hoereren, achtervolgens het hoereren van het huis van Achab; en ook uw broederen, van uws vaders huis, gedood hebt, die beter waren dan gij; 14Zie, de HEERE zal u plagen met een grote plage aan uw volk, en aan uw kinderen, en aan uw vrouwen, en aan al uw have. 15Gij zult ook in grote krankheden zijn, door de krankheid uwer ingewanden, totdat uw ingewanden uitgaan vanwege de krankheid, jaar op jaar. 16Zo verwekte de HEERE tegen Joram den geest der Filistijnen en der Arabieren, die aan de zijde der Moren zijn. 17Die togen op in Juda, en braken daarin, en voerden alle have weg, die in het huis des konings gevonden werd, zelfs ook zijn kinderen, en zijn vrouwen; zodat hem geen zoon overgelaten werd, dan Joahaz, de kleinste zijner zonen. 18En na dit alles plaagde hem de HEERE in zijn ingewand met een krankheid, daar geen genezen aan was. 19Dit geschiedde van jaar tot jaar, zodat, wanneer de tijd van het einde der twee jaren uitging, zijn ingewanden met de krankheid uitgingen, dat hij stierf van boze krankheden; en zijn volk maakte hem gene branding, als de branding zijner vaderen. 20Hij was twee en dertig jaren oud, als hij koning werd, en regeerde acht jaren te Jeruzalem; en hij ging henen zonder begeerd te zijn; en zij begroeven hem in de stad Davids, maar niet in de graven der koningen.
