21:11. Moreover he built also high places in the cities of Juda, and he
made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and Juda to
transgress.
21:12. And there was a letter brought him from Eliseus the prophet, in
which it was written: Thus saith the Lord the God of David thy father:
Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Josaphat thy father nor in
the ways of Asa king of Juda,
21:13. But hast walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and hast made
Juda and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, imitating
the fornication of the house of Achab, moreover also thou hast killed
thy brethren, the house of thy father, better men than thyself,
21:14. Behold the Lord will strike thee with a great plague, with all
thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy substance.
21:15. And thou shalt be sick of a very grievous disease of thy bowels,
till thy vital parts come out by little and little every day.
21:16. And the Lord stirred up against Joram the spirit of the
Philistines, and of the Arabians, who border on the Ethiopians.
21:17. And they came up into the land of Juda, and wasted it, and they
carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, his
sons also, and his wives: so that there was no son left him but Joachaz,
who was the youngest.
Joachaz... Alias Ochozias.
21:18. And besides all this the Lord struck him with an incurable
disease in his bowels.
21:19. And as day came after day, and time rolled on, two whole years
passed: then after being wasted with a long consumption, so as to void
his very bowels, his disease ended with his life. And he died of a most
wretched illness, and the people did not make a funeral for him
according to the manner of burning, as they had done for his ancestors.
21:20. He was two and thirty years old when he began his reign, and he
reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he walked not rightly, and they
buried him in the city of David: but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
2 Paralipomenon Chapter 22
The reign and death of Ochozias. The tyranny of Athalia.
22:1. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ochozias his youngest son
king in his place: for the rovers of the Arabians, who had broke in upon
the camp, had killed all that were his elder brothers. So Ochozias the
son of Joram king of Juda reigned.
22:2. Ochozias was forty-two years old when he began to reign, and he
reigned one year in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother was Athalia
the daughter of Amri.
Forty-two, etc... Divers Greek Bibles read thirty-two, agreeably to 4
Kings 8.17.
22:3. He also walked in the ways of the house of Achab: for his mother
pushed him on to do wickedly.
22:4. So he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as the house of Achab
did: for they were his counsellors after the death of his father, to his
destruction.
22:5. And he walked after their counsels. And he went with Joram the son
of Achab king of Israel, to fight against Hazael king of Syria, at
Ramoth Galaad: and the Syrians wounded Joram.
22:6. And he returned to be healed in Jezrahel: for he received many
wounds in the foresaid battle. And Ochozias the son of Joram king of
Juda, went down to visit Joram the son of Achab in Jezrahel where he lay
sick.
22:7. For it was the will of God against Ochozias that he should come to
Joram: and when he was come should go out also against Jehu the son of
Namsi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Achab.
22:8. So when Jehu was rooting out the house of Achab, he found the
princes of Juda, and the sons of the brethren of Ochozias, who served
him, and he slew them.
