2 Kings 8:16-24

16And in the fifth yearH8141 of JoramH3141 the sonH1121 of AhabH256, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, JehoshaphatH3092 being then kingH4428 of JudahH3063, JehoramH3088 the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, began to reignH4427.

17He wasH1961 thirty-two yearsH8141 old when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 eightH8083 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389.

18And he walked in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, as did the houseH1004 of AhabH256, for the daughterH1323 of AhabH256 wasH1961 his wifeH802; and he did evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah.

19But Jehovah wouldH14 not destroyH7843 JudahH3063, for DavidH1732 his servant's sakeH4616, as he had promised him to giveH5414 him always a lampH5216 for his sonsH1121.

20In his daysH3117 EdomH123 revolted from under the handH3027 of JudahH3063, and they set a kingH4428 over themselves.

21And JoramH3141 wentH5437 over to Zair, and all the chariotsH7393 with him; and he roseH6965 up by nightH3915, and smote the Edomites who had surroundedH5437 him, and the captains of the chariotsH7393; and the peopleH5971 fledH5127 into their tentsH168.

22But the Edomites revolted from under the handH3027 of JudahH3063 unto this dayH3117. ThenH227 LibnahH3841 revolted at the same timeH6256.

23And the restH3499 of the acts of JoramH3141 and all that he did, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chronicles of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?

24And JoramH3141 slept with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732; and AhaziahH274 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
