2 Chronicles 21:16 Moreover the LORD3068 stirred up5782 against Jehoram3088 the spirit7307 of the Philistines,6430 and of the Arabians,6163 that were near5921 3027 the Ethiopians:3569 cr 17 And they came up5927 into Judah,3063 and brake1234 into it, and carried away7617{Heb. carried captive} all the substance7399 that was found4672 in the king's4428 house,1004 and his sons1121 also, and his wives;802 so that there was never a son1121 left7604 him, save Jehoahaz,3059{Or, ahaziah, chap. 22.1.
