Wickedness has its reward

After all this the LORD struck him in his intestines with an incurable disease. Then it happened in the course of time, after the end of two years, that his intestines came out because of his sickness; so he died in severe pain. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning for his fathers. (‭II Chronicles‬ ‭21‬:‭18-19‬ NKJV).

What could have caused such a painful punishment? Let's see...despite being chosen as successor to the throne, he got there and killed all his brothers and he led the people to Idolatory worship.

His cv reads;  husband of the wicked queen Athaliah - daughter of the wicked Jezebel and wicked Ahab. With in-laws like that, it was easy for sin to reign.

Why in the world did his godly father Jehoshaphat made him marry into that family! Was the alliance with the northern kingdom worth it? His intestine came out because of his sickness. Ugh...I wonder how it exited. Don't wanna know thank you.
