2 Chronicles 21:4 in Context — 2 Chronicles 21
2 Joram avait des frères, fils de Josaphat: Azaria, Jehiel, Zacharie, Azaria, Micaël et Schephathia, tous fils de Josaphat, roi d’Israël.
3 Leur père leur avait donné des présents considérables en argent, en or, et en objets précieux, avec des villes fortes en Juda; mais il laissa le royaume à Joram, parce qu’il était le premier-né.
4 Lorsque Joram eut pris possession du royaume de son père et qu’il se fut fortifié, il fit mourir par l’épée tous ses frères et quelques-uns aussi des chefs d’Israël.
5 Joram avait trente-deux ans lorsqu’il devint roi, et il régna huit ans à Jérusalem.
6 Il marcha dans la voie des rois d’Israël, comme avait fait la maison d’Achab, car il avait pour femme une fille d’Achab, et il fit ce qui est mal aux yeux de l’Éternel.
