“Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.”
2 Chronicles 21:1 KJV
Jehoshaphat died and was buried in the family cemetery in the City of David. Jehoram his son was the next king. After Jehoshaphat, his son Jehoram became king with his sad life of turning away from God and worshipping other gods. Jehoram was the king of Israel, Ahab’s son-in-law. Jehoram’s wife turned his heart away from God. In the new covenant, Scripture says, “Don’t become partners with those who reject God. How can you make a partnership out of right and wrong? That’s not partnership; that’s war. Is light best friends with dark? Does Christ go strolling with the Devil? Do trust and mistrust hold hands? Who would think of setting up pagan idols in God’s holy Temple? But that is exactly what we are, each of us a temple in whom God lives... Don’t link up with those who will pollute you. I want you all for Myself.” That’s the Word of God. Incase you married when you were not a believer, and then came to know Christ, God says, “..the unbelieving husband has been made holy by his believing wife. And the unbelieving wife has been made holy by her believing husband by virtue of his or her sacred union to a believer.” Let’s take the guidance of the Holy Spirit in all these matters. Amen!
