Elijah’s Letter of Judgment and the Agonizing End of Jehoram

After King Joram (Jehoram) of Judah murders his royal brothers and establishes Baal high places under the influence of his wife Athaliah, a written letter from the prophet Elijah arrives warning that the LORD will strike his family, people, and possessions with a great plague, and that Joram himself will suffer a fatal bowel disease; Philistines and Arabs plunder his house and capture his sons, and Joram dies in intense agony, unlamented by his people.
