2 Chronicles 21:16

Jehoram

14 So behold, the LORD is about to strike your people, your sons, your wives, and all your possessions with a serious blow.

15 And day after day you yourself will suffer from a severe illness, a disease of your bowels, until it causes your bowels to come out.’”

Then the LORD stirred against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and Arabs who lived near the Cushites.

17 So they went to war against Judah, invaded it, and carried off all the possessions found in the king’s palace, along with his sons and wives; not a son was left to him except Jehoahaz, his youngest.

18 After all this, the LORD afflicted Jehoram with an incurable disease of the bowels.
