Moreover the L
ORD
stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians,

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 L
ORD
smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
19

sickness: so he died of sore diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of

was
Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he
