2 Kings 8:16–24

^16*And in the fifth year of ^tJoram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, ^uJehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah ^†began to reign. ^17xThirty and two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. ¹⁸And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for ^ythe daughter of Ahab was his wife: and he did evil in the sight of the Lord. ¹⁹Yet the Lord would not destroy Judah for David his servant’s sake, ^zas he promised him to give him alway a ^†light, ^aand to his children. ²⁰In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and ^bmade a king over themselves. ²¹So Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him: and he rose by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots: and the people fled ^cinto their tents. ^22||Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then ^dLibnah revolted at the same time. ²³And 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? ^24*And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers ^ein the city of David: and ^f||Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
