From a defined perspective in view of thought , we realise that the reign of Jehoram was realised by his failure to follow the righteous example of his father, Jehoshaphat.
The Lord struck Jehoram with a fatal intestinal disease as a direct consequence of his actions.2 Chronicles 21:18-19[18]And after all this, the Lord smote [Jehoram] with an incurable intestinal disease.[19]In process of time, after two years, his bowels fell out because of his disease. So he died in severe distress. And his people made no funeral fire to honor him, like the fires for his fathers.
Jehoram led the entire nation into sin by establishing high places in the cities of Judah
2 Chronicles 21:11[11]Moreover, he made idolatrous high places in the hill country of Judah and debauched spiritually the inhabitants of Jerusalem and led Judah astray [compelling the people’s cooperation].
In a ruthless pursuit of power, Jehoram murdered all of his own brothers and so The Lord incited the Philistines and Arabs to launch an attack against Jehoram.
Invading forces who seized all of Jehoram’s personal possessions, His wives, leaving him isolated.
All of Jehoram’s sons were taken away during the conflict, except for the youngest as thus we realise that not doing what The Lord has instructed us to do leads to a downfall
