2 Kings 8:17–24

¹⁷He was ^jthirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. ¹⁸And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab had done, for ^kthe daughter of Ahab was his wife. And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord. ¹⁹Yet the Lord was not willing to destroy Judah, for the sake of David his servant, ^lsince he promised to give ^ma lamp to him and to his sons forever.

²⁰In his days Edom revolted from the rule of Judah and set up ⁿa king of their own. ²¹Then Joram⁴ passed over to Zair with all his chariots and rose by night, and he and his chariot commanders struck the Edomites who had surrounded him, but his army ^ofled home. ^22pSo Edom revolted from the rule of Judah to this day. Then ^qLibnah revolted at the same time. ²³Now 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? ²⁴So Joram slept with his fathers and was buried ^rwith his fathers in the city of David, and ^sAhaziah his son reigned in his place.
