2 Chronicles 21:5

_AND HE HAD BRETHREN THE SONS OF JEHOSHAPHAT, AZARIAH, AND JEHIEL, AND ZECHARIAH, AND AZARIAH, AND MICHAEL, AND SHEPHATIAH: ALL THESE WERE THE SONS OF JEHOSHAPHAT KING OF ISRAEL._ No JFB commentary on these verses....

1-11 Jehoram hated his brethren, and slew them, for the same reason that Cain hated Abel, and slew him, because their piety condemned his impiety.

6. THE REIGN OF JEHORAM (2 Chronicles 21:5-20) TEXT 2 Chronicles 21:5. Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 6.
