2 Chronicles 21:1-8

1And JehoshaphatH3092 restedH7901 withH5973 his fathersH1 and was buriedH6912 withH5973 them in the CityH5892 of DavidH1732. And his sonH1121 JehoramH3088 reignedH4427 in his placeH8478.

2Jehoram’s brothersH251, the sonsH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092, were AzariahH5838, JehielH3171, ZechariahH2148, AzariahH5838, MichaelH4317, and ShephatiahH8203; theseH428 were allH3605 sonsH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.1 3Their fatherH1 had given themH5414 manyH7227 giftsH4979 of silverH3701 and goldH2091 and precious thingsH4030, as well asH5973 the fortifiedH4694 citiesH5892 in JudahH3063; butH853 he gaveH5414 the kingdomH4467 to JehoramH3088 becauseH3588 heH1931 was the firstbornH1060.

4When JehoramH3088 had established himselfH6965 overH5921 his father’sH1 kingdomH4467, he strengthened himselfH2388 by puttingH2026 to the swordH2719 allH3605 his brothersH251 along withH1571 some of the princesH8269 of IsraelH3478. 5JehoramH3088 was thirty-twoH7970H8147 years oldH1121H8141 when he became kingH4427, and he reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 eightH8083 yearsH8141.

6And Jehoram walkedH1980 in the waysH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, just asH834 the houseH1004 of AhabH256 had doneH6213. ForH3588 he marriedH802 a daughterH1323 of AhabH256 and didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068. 7Yet the LORDH3068 was unwillingH3808H14 to destroyH7843 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, because ofH4616 the covenantH1285 He had madeH3772 with DavidH1732, and sinceH834 He had promisedH559 to maintainH5414 a lampH5216 for David and his descendantsH1121 foreverH3605H3117.

8In the days of JehoramH3117, EdomH123 rebelledH6586 againstH8478 the handH3027 of JudahH3063 and appointedH4427 their ownH5921 kingH4428.
