2 Chronicles 21

Jehoram succeeds Jehoshaphat, murders his brothers to secure the throne, and leads Judah into idolatry like the house of Ahab, his father-in-law, prompting revolts by Edom and Libnah.[1][2][3][4] YHWH sends a prophetic letter via Elijah warning of judgment; enemies plunder Judah, kill his family except youngest son Jehoahaz, and Jehoram dies painfully of bowel disease, buried without honor.[1][2][3][4]
