LXX	NEW JERUSALEM
1 και εκοιμηθη ιωσαφατ μετα των πατερων αυτου και εταφη παρα τοις πατρασιν αυτου εν πολει δαυιδ και εβασιλευσεν ιωραμ υιος αυτου αντ' αυτου	1 Then Jehoshaphat fel asleep with his ancestors and was buried with them in the city of David; his sonJehoram succeeded him.
2 και αυτω αδελφοι υιοι ιωσαφατ εξ αζαριας και ιιηλ και ζαχαριας και αζαριας και μιχαηλ και σαφατιας παντες ουτοι υιοι ιωσαφατ βασιλεως ιουδα	2 Jehoram's brothers, sons of Jehoshaphat, were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariahu, Michael andShephatiah -- al of them sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
3 και εδωκεν αυτοις ο πατηρ αυτων δοματα πολλα αργυριον και χρυσιον και οπλα μετα πολεων τετειχισμενων εν ιουδα και την βασιλειαν εδωκεν τω ιωραμ οτι ουτος ο πρωτοτοκος	3 Their father had lavishly given them presents of silver, gold and other valuables as wel as fortifiedtowns in Judah; but the throne he bequeathed to Jehoram since he was the first-born.
4 και ανεστη ιωραμ επι την βασιλειαν αυτου και εκραταιωθη και απεκτεινεν παντας τους αδελφους αυτου εν ρομφαια και απο των αρχοντων ισραηλ	4 Jehoram, having taken control of his father's kingdom and secured his own position, put al hisbrothers to the sword and some officials of Israel too.
5 οντος αυτου τριακοντα και δυο ετων κατεστη ιωραμ επι την βασιλειαν αυτου και οκτω ετη εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ	5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he came to the throne, and he reigned for eight years inJerusalem.
6 και επορευθη εν οδω βασιλεων ισραηλ ως εποιησεν οικος αχααβ οτι θυγατηρ αχααβ ην αυτου γυνη και εποιησεν το πονηρον εναντιον κυριου	6 He followed the example of the kings of Israel as the House of Ahab were doing, he having marriedone of Ahab's daughters; and he did what is displeasing to Yahweh.
7 και ουκ εβουλετο κυριος εξολεθρευσαι τον οικον δαυιδ δια την διαθηκην ην διεθετο τω δαυιδ και ως ειπεν αυτω δουναι αυτω λυχνον και τοις υιοις αυτου πασας τας ημερας	7 But Yahweh would not destroy the House of David, because of the covenant which he had made withDavid, promising to provide him and his sons with a lamp for ever.
8 εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις απεστη εδωμ απο του ιουδα και εβασιλευσαν εφ' εαυτους βασιλεα	8 In his time Edom threw off the domination of Judah and set up a king for itself.
9 και ωχετο ιωραμ μετα των αρχοντων και πασα η ιππος μετ' αυτου και εγενετο και ηγερθη νυκτος και επαταξεν εδωμ τον κυκλουντα αυτον και τους αρχοντας των αρματων και εφυγεν ο λαος εις τα σκηνωματα αυτων	9 Jehoram crossed the frontier, and with him his commanders and al his chariots. Under cover of dark,he and his chariot commanders broke through the Edomites surrounding him.
10 και απεστη απο ιουδα εδωμ εως της ημερας ταυτης τοτε απεστη λομνα εν τω καιρω εκεινω απο χειρος αυτου οτι εγκατελιπεν κυριον θεον των πατερων αυτου	10 Thus Edom threw off the domination of Judah and has remained free to the present day. Libnahrevolted against him at the same time, because he had abandoned Yahweh, God of his ancestors.
11 και γαρ αυτος εποιησεν υψηλα εν πολεσιν ιουδα και εξεπορνευσεν τους κατοικουντας εν ιερουσαλημ και απεπλανησεν τον ιουδαν	11 What is more, he set up high places in the highlands of Judah, leading the citizens of Jerusalem andthe people of Judah into apostasy.
12 και ηλθεν αυτω εγγραφη παρα ηλιου του προφητου λεγων ταδε λεγει κυριος ο θεος δαυιδ του πατρος σου ανθ' ων ουκ επορευθης εν οδω ιωσαφατ του πατρος σου και εν οδοις ασα βασιλεως ιουδα	12 Something written by the prophet Elijah then came into his hands. It said, 'Yahweh, God of yourancestor David, says this, "Since you have not fol owed the example of your father Jehoshaphat or of Asa kingof Judah,
13 και επορευθης εν οδοις βασιλεων ισραηλ και εξεπορνευσας τον ιουδαν και τους κατοικουντας εν ιερουσαλημ ως εξεπορνευσεν οικος αχααβ και τους αδελφους σου υιους του πατρος σου τους αγαθους υπερ σε απεκτεινας	13 but have fol owed the example of the kings of Israel and have led Judah and the citizens ofJerusalem into apostasy, just as the House of Ahab has led Israel into apostasy, and have even murdered yourbrothers, your own family, who were better men than you,
14 ιδου κυριος παταξει σε πληγην μεγαλην εν τω λαω σου και εν τοις υιοις σου και εν γυναιξιν σου και εν παση τη αποσκευη σου	14 Yahweh is going to afflict your people, your sons, your wives and al your property with a greatcalamity,
15 και συ εν μαλακια πονηρα εν νοσω κοιλιας εως ου εξελθη η κοιλια σου μετα της μαλακιας εξ ημερων εις ημερας	15 and you yourself with a severe disease affecting your bowels, as a result of which disease,continuing day after day, you wil suffer protrusion of your bowels." '
16 και επηγειρεν κυριος επι ιωραμ τους αλλοφυλους και τους αραβας και τους ομορους των αιθιοπων	16 Yahweh then roused the hostility of the Philistines and of the Arabs living near the Cushites againstJehoram.
17 και ανεβησαν επι ιουδαν και κατεδυναστευον και απεστρεψαν πασαν την αποσκευην ην ευρον εν οικω του βασιλεως και τους υιους αυτου και τας θυγατερας αυτου και ου κατελειφθη αυτω υιος αλλ' η οχοζιας ο μικροτατος των υιων αυτου	17 They invaded Judah, forcing their way into it and carrying off all the property to be found in the king'spalace, as wel as his sons and his wives, so that he was left no sons at al except his youngest son Jehoahaz.
18 και μετα ταυτα παντα επαταξεν αυτον κυριος εις την κοιλιαν μαλακια εν η ουκ εστιν ιατρεια	18 And after al this, Yahweh afflicted him with an incurable disease of the bowels;
19 και εγενετο εξ ημερων εις ημερας και ως ηλθεν καιρος των ημερων ημερας δυο εξηλθεν η κοιλια αυτου μετα της νοσου και απεθανεν εν μαλακια πονηρα και ουκ εποιησεν ο λαος αυτου εκφοραν καθως εκφοραν πατερων αυτου	19 in due time, after about two years, his bowels protruded as a result of his disease and he died inacute pain. His people did not make a funeral pyre for him, as they had for his ancestors.
20 ην τριακοντα και δυο ετων οτε εβασιλευσεν και οκτω ετη εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ και επορευθη εν ουκ επαινω και εταφη εν πολει δαυιδ και ουκ εν ταφοις των βασιλεων	20 He was thirty-two years old when he came to the throne and he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem.He passed away unlamented and was buried in the City of David, though not in the tombs of the kings.
