2 Chronicles 21:6-13
61He walkedH1980 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, justH3512 as the houseH1004 of AhabH256 didH6213 (2for Ahab’sH256 daughterH1323 was his wifeH802), and he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068. 7Yet the LordH3068 was not willingH14 to destroyH7843 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 becauseH4616 of the covenantH1285 whichH834 He had madeH3772 with DavidH1732, 3and sinceH3512 He had promisedH559 to giveH5414 a lampH5215 to him and his sonsH1121 foreverH3605H3117.
8In his daysH3117 4EdomH112 revoltedH6586 5againstH4480H8478H3027 the ruleH3027 of JudahH3063 and setH4427 up a kingH4428 overH5921 themselves. 9Then JehoramH3088 crossedH5674 overH5674 with his commandersH8269 and allH3605 his chariotsH7393 with him. And he aroseH6965 by nightH3915 and struckH5221 downH5221 the EdomitesH112 who were surroundingH5437 him and the commandersH8269 of the chariotsH7393. 10So EdomH112 revoltedH6586 6againstH4480H8478H3027 JudahH3063 to thisH2088 dayH3117. ThenH227 LibnahH3841 revoltedH6586 at the sameH1931 timeH6256 7againstH4480H8478 his ruleH3027, becauseH3588 he had forsakenH5800 the LordH3068 GodH430 of his fathersH1. 11MoreoverH1571, 8he madeH6213 highH1116 placesH1116 in the mountainsH2022 of JudahH3063, and caused the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 9to playH2181 the harlotH2181 and ledH5080 JudahH3063 astrayH5080.
12Then a letterH4385 cameH935 to him from ElijahH452 the prophetH5030 sayingH559, “ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 GodH430 of your fatherH1 DavidH1732, ‘BecauseH8478H834 10you have not walkedH1980 in the waysH1870 of JehoshaphatH3092 your fatherH1 11and the waysH1870 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, 13but 12have walkedH1980 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, and have caused JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 to playH2181 the harlotH2181 13as the houseH1004 of AhabH256 playedH2181 the harlotH2181, and you 14have alsoH1571 killedH2026 your brothersH251, 15your own familyH1004H1, who were betterH2896 thanH4480 you,
