9 So Jehoram passed over to the Edomite territory with his commanders and all his chariots, and it happened that he rose up at night and struck the Edomites, who had surrounded him and his chariot commanders.
10 So Edom revolted from being under the hand of Judah until this day.At that time Libnah also revolted from being under their rule, because Jehoram had abandoned the Lord God of his fathers.
11 He even made high places in the hill country of Judah and caused those in Jerusalem to be like prostitutes, and he led Judah astray.
12 And a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying,“Thus says the Lord God of David your father: Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, or in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
13 but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem into whoredom, as the house of Ahab led Israel into whoredom, and also have killed your brothers, those of your father’s house, who were better than you,
14 the Lord will bring a great plague on your people, your children, your wives, and all your possessions;
15 and you will have great sickness with a disease of your intestines, until your intestines come out because of the disease, day by day.”
