Old Testament references

Шаблон:Anchor Jehoram, king of Judah (21:1–7)

This section contains the record of Jehoram's reign, but uniquely also has the records of the king's brothers (verses 2–4), which only occurs with David's family in Kings or Chronicles.Шаблон:Sfn As soon as Jehoram had established his power, he brutally murdered all his brothers, who were in charge of fortified cities, and several notables, most likely driven by his lust for control or fear of losing it.Шаблон:Sfn However, the divine wrath was restrained for the kingdom, because of the promise to David (1 Chronicles 17:1–15; cf. 2 Kings 8:17–19).Шаблон:Sfn

Verse 5

Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.[2]
  • "Eight years": based on Thiele-McFall calculation, Jehoram of Judah reigned from between April and September 848 BCE until his death between April and September 841 BCE.Шаблон:Sfn Unlike with his predecessors, Jehoram's reign is counted using the 'non-accession year method', which is commonly used only by the kings of the northern kingdom.[3]

Шаблон:Anchor Edom and Libnah Rebel (21:8–11)

The text provides unclear description whether Jehoram managed to defeat the Edomites, only to state that Edom and Libnah successfully revolted against the kingdom of Judah (verse 10), which should give ample warning to Jehoram to repent from his sins, but instead he continued to establish idol worship in Judah.Шаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:Anchor Elijah’s Letter to Jehoram (21:12–15)

In Jehoram's regnal record, there was not a single prophet appearing in flesh and blood, and the prophetic warning only came in a letter sent by Elijah, who was active in the northern kingdom. Elijah's threats of divine punishment for Jehoram (verses 14–15) were all fulfilled and fell on Jehoram's people, family, property and own body (verses 16–19).Шаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:Anchor Death of Jehoram (21:16–20)

The punishment for Jehoram came from the south-western neighbors of the kingdom ("the Arabs who are near the Ethiopians"; cf. 2 Chronicles 14:9), and left with only the youngest son of Jehoram, the Davidic line was on the brink of total eradication.Шаблон:Sfn The Chronicler extensively describes Jehoram's final punishment in the form of a painful, incurable, yet indefinable sickness (probably a stomach ulcer leading to a chronic rectal prolapse).Шаблон:Sfn

Verse 20

He was thirty-two when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he departed with no one’s regret. They buried him in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.[4]

The repetition of Jehoram's age and length of reign (cf. verse 5) indicates a transcription from another source.[5]
