But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, like to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father's house, which were better than thyself:

Verse 13 is found in chapter 21 of 2 Chronicles. Edom rebels and Libnah also separates. The prophet Elijah sends a letter denouncing Jehoram’s conduct and announces judgment upon his family, possessions, and health. The letter interprets the political defeats as consequences of religious unfaithfulness and following the ways of Ahab’s house.

sondern wandelst in dem Wege der Könige Israels und machst Juda und die zu Jerusalem abgöttisch nach der Abgötterei des Hauses Ahab, und hast dazu deine Brüder, deines Vaters Haus, erwürgt, die besser waren als du:
Antes has andado en el camino de los reyes de Israel, y has hecho que fornicase Judá, y los moradores de Jerusalem, como fornicó la casa de Achâb; y además has muerto a tus hermanos, a la familia de tu padre, los cuales eran mejores que tú:
mais que tu as marché dans la voie des rois d'Israël; parce que tu as entraîné à la prostitution Juda et les habitants de Jérusalem, comme l'a fait la maison d'Achab à l'égard d'Israël; et parce que tu as fait mourir tes frères, meilleurs que toi, la maison même de ton père; -
anzi sei camminato per la via dei re di Israele, ed hai fatto fornicar Giuda, e gli abitanti di Gerusalemme, come la casa di Achab ha fatto fornicare Israele; ed oltre a ciò, hai uccisi i tuoi fratelli, la famiglia di tuo padre, i quali erano migliori di te;
Mas andaste no caminho dos reis de Israel, e fizeste prostituir a Judá e aos moradores de Jerusalém, segundo a prostituição da casa de Acabe, e também mataste a teus irmãos da casa de teu pai, melhores do que tu;
反而行 以色列 諸王的道,使 猶大 和 耶路撒冷 居民行淫,像 亞哈 家行淫一樣,又殺了你父家比你好的那些兄弟。
