2 Kings 8:18-27

18He walkedH1980 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, justH3512 as the houseH1004 of AhabH256 had doneH6213, for 1the 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, 2sinceH3512 He had 3promisedH559 him to giveH5414 a 4lampH5215 to him through his sonsH1121 alwaysH3605H3117.

20In his daysH3117 5EdomH112 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; 6but his 7armyH5971 fledH5127 to their tentsH168. 228So EdomH112 revoltedH6586 9againstH4480H8478H3027 JudahH3063 to thisH2088 dayH3117. ThenH227 10LibnahH3841 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 11was buriedH6912 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732; and 12AhaziahH274 his sonH1121 becameH4427 kingH4427 in his placeH8478.

2513In the twelfthH8147H6240 yearH8141 of JoramH3141 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, AhaziahH274 the sonH1121 of JehoramH3088 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began to reignH4427. 2614AhaziahH274 was twenty-twoH6242H8147 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he becameH4427 kingH4427, and he reignedH4427 oneH259 yearH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was AthaliahH6271 the granddaughterH1323 of OmriH6018 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. 2715He walkedH1980 in the wayH1870 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256 and didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, like the houseH1004 of AhabH256 had done, becauseH3588 he was a son-in-lawH2860 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256.
