2Kings:8:16-24
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab ,
king of Israel ,
Jeho '
ram the son of Jehosh '
aphat ,
king of Judah ,
began to reign .
*
He was thirty-two years old when he became king ,
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 the daughter of Ahab was his wife .
And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD .
*
Yet the LORD would not destroy Judah ,
for the sake of David his servant ,
since he promised to give a lamp to him and to his sons for ever .
*
In his days Edom revolted from the rule of Judah ,
and set up a king of their own .
*
Then Joram passed over to Za '
ir with all his chariots ,
and rose by night ,
and he and his chariot commanders smote the E '
domites who had surrounded him ;
but his army fled home .
*
So Edom revolted from the rule of Judah to this day .
Then Libnah revolted at the same time .
*
Now the rest of the acts of Joram ,
and all that he did ,
are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah ?
*
So Joram slept with his fathers ,
and was buried with his fathers in the city of David ;
and Ahazi '
ah his son reigned in his stead .
