2 Chronicles 21:4-7

4After Jehoram had taken over his father’s kingdom, he strengthened his position and then executed all his brothers and some of the officials of Israel.

5Jehoram was 32 years old when he became king, and he ruled for 8 years in Jerusalem.

6He followed the ways of the kings of Israel, as Ahab’s family had done, because his wife was Ahab’s daughter. So he did what the Lord considered evil.

7But the Lord, recalling the promise  he had made to David, didn’t want to destroy David’s family. The Lord had told David that he would always give him and his descendants a ⌞shining⌟ lamp.
