2 Kings 8:18-27 ▼

18 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as had done the house of Ahab. For the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the eyes of YHWH.

19 And YHWH was not willing to destroy Judah, for the sake of David his servant, as He promised to him to give to him a lamp for his sons all the days.

20 In his days Edom revolted against the hand of Judah, and they appointed a king over themselves.

21 And Joram went to Zair, and all the chariots with him, and he rose by night and struck Edom, who had surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots. And the people fled to their tents.

22 And Edom has been in revolt against the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at that time.

23 And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Words of the Days of the Kings of Judah?

24 And Joram rested with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the City of David. And Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.

25 In the twelfth year of Jehoram son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah son of Joram king of Judah began to reign.

26 Ahaziah was a son of twenty-two years in his reigning, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And the name of His mother was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.

27 And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab and did evil in the eyes of YHWH, like the house of Ahab; for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
