2 Chronicles 21:3-5

Common English Bible

³ Their father had given them many gifts of silver, gold, and other valuables, along with fortified cities in Judah, but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram because he was the oldest son.

⁴ When Jehoram had taken control of his father’s kingdom, he established his rule by killing all his brothers, along with some other leaders of Israel. ⁵ Jehoram was 32 years old when he became king, and he ruled for eight years in Jerusalem.
