That’s a pretty sad statement. I read that in 2 Chron. 21 the other day. It was written about a wicked king. Elijah warned Jehoram in a letter about the pending doom that he would suffer because of his wickedness: “So now the Lord is about to strike you…You yourself will suffer with a severe intestinal disease that will get worse each day until your bowels come out.”
What a way to go! As the story goes, Jehoram died and his people didn’t even build a great funeral fire to honor him or bury him in the royal cemetary. But the most striking line to me is found in verse 20, “No one was sorry when he died.“
What a sad ending.
