New American Standard Bible
2 He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, [a]Azaryahu, Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king (A)of Israel. 3 Their father gave them many gifts of silver, gold, and precious things, (B)with fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram because he was the firstborn.
4 Now when Jehoram had [b]taken over the kingdom of his father and gathered courage, he (C)killed all his brothers with the sword, and some of the leaders of Israel as well.
