"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. He was thirty-two years old when he became king. He reigned in Jerusalem eight years and, to no one’s sorrow, departed. However they buried him in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings," 2 Chronicles 21:18-20, NKJV. BowelMovementsThe bowels, an archaic word used in the scriptures to also denote the feelings of pity or compassion we should have for each other in the body of Christ, is also used to describe the stomach or intestines area, and the matter contained within, in at least one passage, is called 'the dirt'; some of the most gruesome deaths in the scriptures speak of how either the Lord in judgement struck a person, or wounds inflicted from weapons during assassinations caused the entrails of victims to come out and spill on the ground.
