*
And in the fifth year of Jehoram the son of Ahab the king of Israel ,
and Jehoshaphat was king of Judah ,
Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat ,
the king of Judah ,
reigned .
*
And he was a son of thirty two years when he began his reign .
And he reigned eight years in Jerusalem
*
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel ,
as the house of Ahab had done ,
for a daughter of Ahab was his wife .
And he did that which was evil in the eyes of Jehovah .
*
And Jehovah was not willing to destroy Judah ,
for His servant David '
s sake ,
as He had said to give him a lamp to his sons forever .
*
In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah ,
and they caused a king to reign over them .
*
And Jehoram passed over to Zair ,
and all the chariots with him .
And it happened ,
he rose up by night and struck Edom ,
who had encircled him ,
and the commanders of the chariots .
And the people fled to their tents .
*
Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day .
Then Libnah revolted at the same time .
*
And the rest of the acts of Jehoram ,
and all that he did ,
are they not written in the Book of the Matters of the Days of the Kings of Judah ?
*
And Jehoram lay with his fathers ,
and was buried with his fathers in the city of David .
And his son Ahaziah began to reign in his place .
