- 以後耶和華激動非利士人、和靠近古實的亞拉伯人、來攻擊約蘭。
- 他們上來攻擊猶大、侵入境內、擄掠了王宮裡所有的財貨、和他的妻子、兒女.除了他小兒子約哈斯〔又名亞哈謝〕之外、沒有留下一個兒子。
- 這些事以後、耶和華使約蘭的腸子、患不能醫治的病。
- 他患此病纏綿日久、過了二年、腸子墜落下來、病重而死。他的民沒有為他燒甚麼物件、像從前為他列祖所燒的一樣。
- 約蘭登基的時候年三十二歲、在耶路撒冷作王八年.他去世無人思慕.眾人葬他在大衛城、只是不在列王的墳墓裡。

- The LORD aroused against Jehoram the hostility of the Philistines and of the Arabs who lived near the Cushites.
- They attacked Judah, invaded it and carried off all the goods found in the king's palace, together with his sons and wives. Not a son was left to him except Ahaziah, the youngest.
- After all this, the LORD afflicted Jehoram with an incurable disease of the bowels.
- In the course of time, at the end of the second year, his bowels came out because of the disease, and he died in great pain. His people made no fire in his honor, as they had for his fathers.
- Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. He passed away, to no one's regret, and was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
