2 Chronicles 21:12-15

Jehoram Reigns in Judah

¹² And a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, "Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father, _o 'Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, or _p in the ways of Asa king of Judah, ¹³ _i but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel and have enticed Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem _n into whoredom, _q as the house of Ahab led Israel into whoredom, and also you _r have killed your brothers, of your father's house, who were better than yourself, ¹⁴ behold, the Lord will bring a great plague on your people, your children, your wives, and all your possessions, ¹⁵ and you yourself will have a severe sickness _s with a disease of your bowels, until your bowels come out because of the disease, day by day.'"
