Edom Revolts
(2 Chron. 21)
Edom was a nasty rebel:
Played the whore and led Judah astray. (11)
A letter came to him from Elijah
Said, “You fail to walk like Jehoshaphat
Or in the ways of Asa, the king of Judah!
You’re acting like those kings of Israel,
A bad example for Jerusalem! (13)
So the Lord gonna strike your people:
Your wife and all your things with calamity! (14)
Oh, your bowels are gonna come right out! (15)
Be bad? He’ll make you give a big shout!”
Then the Lord stirred the spirit of the Philistines
And the Arabs on the Ethiopian border. (16)
They came against Judah and invaded;
On the things of the king there were sated. (17)
Jehoahaz was the only son left behind. (17)
The Lord smote his bowels; He wasn’t kind. (18)
At the end of two years, he died in great pain (19)
And no one cared to remember his name.
