2 Chronicles 21:5-9

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.

8During Jehoram’s time Edom rebelled against Judah and chose its own king.

9Jehoram took all his chariot commanders to attack. The Edomites and their chariot commanders surrounded him, but he got up at night and broke through their lines.
