How did God punish Jehoram for making everyone in Judah commit fornication?


By making his bowels fall out

And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou ... hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring ... thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out. ...
And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
And it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness: so he died of sore diseases. 2 Chronicles 21:9
