2 Chronicles 21:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and pensions, with strong cities in Juda: but the kingdom he gave to Joram, because he was the eldest.

⁴ So Joram rose up over the kingdom of his father: and when he had established himself, he slew all his brethren with the sword, and some of the princes of Israel.

⁵ Joram was two and thirty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
