15You yourself will be very ill with a lingering disease of the bowels, until the disease causes your bowels to come out.’ ” 16The LORD aroused against Jehoram the hostility of the Philistines and of the Arabs who lived near the Cushites.

17They attacked Judah, invaded it and carried off all the goods found in the king’s palace, together with his sons and wives. Not a son was left to him except Ahaziah, Hebrew Jehoahaz, a variant of Ahaziah the youngest. 18After all this, the LORD afflicted Jehoram with an incurable disease of the bowels.

19In the course of time, at the end of the second year, his bowels came out because of the disease, and he died in great pain. His people made no funeral fire in his honor, as they had for his predecessors. 20Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. He passed away, to no one’s regret, and was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
