2 Kings 8:16-24
16Now in the fifthH2568 yearH8141 of 1JoramH3141 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, JehoshaphatH3092 being then the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, JehoramH3088 the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 becameH4427 kingH4427. 17He was 2thirty-twoH7970H8147 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he becameH4427 kingH4427, and he reignedH4427 eightH8083 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. 18He walkedH1980 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, justH3512 as the houseH1004 of AhabH256 had doneH6213, for 3the daughterH1323 of AhabH256 becameH1961 his wifeH802; and he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068. 19However, the LordH3068 was not willingH14 to destroyH7843 JudahH3063, for the sakeH4616 of DavidH1732 His servantH5650, 4sinceH3512 He had 5promisedH559 him to giveH5414 a 6lampH5215 to him through his sonsH1121 alwaysH3605H3117.
20In his daysH3117 7EdomH112 revoltedH6586 from underH8478 the handH3027 of JudahH3063, and madeH4427 a kingH4427 overH5921 themselves. 21Then JoramH3141 crossedH5674 overH5674 to ZairH6811, and allH3605 his chariotsH7393 with him. And he aroseH6965 by nightH3915 and struckH5221 the EdomitesH112 who had surroundedH5437 him and the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393; 8but his 9armyH5971 fledH5127 to their tentsH168. 2210So EdomH112 revoltedH6586 11againstH4480H8478H3027 JudahH3063 to thisH2088 dayH3117. ThenH227 12LibnahH3841 revoltedH6586 at the sameH1931 timeH6256. 23The restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JoramH3141 and allH3605 that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of JudahH3063? 24So JoramH3141 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1 and 13was buriedH6912 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732; and 14AhaziahH274 his sonH1121 becameH4427 kingH4427 in his placeH8478.
