17He was 1thirty-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 2the 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, 3sinceH3512 He had 4promisedH559 him to giveH5414 a 5lampH5215 to him through his sonsH1121 alwaysH3605H3117.

20In his daysH3117 6EdomH112 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; 7but his 8armyH5971 fledH5127 to their tentsH168. 229So EdomH112 revoltedH6586 10againstH4480H8478H3027 JudahH3063 to thisH2088 dayH3117. ThenH227 11LibnahH3841 revoltedH6586 at the sameH1931 timeH6256.
