In context
16Yahweh stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and of the Arabs who live beside the Cushites. 17They marched up against Judah, broke into it and carried off all the property they found in the king’s house, along with his sons and his wives; not a son was left him except Jehoahaz, the youngest. 18After all this, Yahweh struck him in his bowels with a sickness for which there was no cure. 19In the course of time, as the end of two years came, his bowels came out because of his sickness, and he died in terrible pain. His people made no fire for him such as they had made for his ancestors. 20He was thirty-two when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. He went out unmourned, and they buried him in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
