2 Chronicles 21:6-13

61He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, 2for Ahab’s daughter was his wife; and he did evil in the sight of the Lord. 7Yet the Lord was not willing to destroy the house of David because of the covenant which He had made with David, 3and because He had promised to give a lamp to him and his sons forever.

8In his days 4Edom broke away 5from the rule of Judah, and appointed a king over themselves. 9Then Jehoram crossed over with his commanders and all his chariots with him. And he got up at night and struck and killed the Edomites who were surrounding him, and the commanders of the chariots. 10So Edom revolted 6against Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time 7against his rule because he had abandoned the Lord God of his fathers. 11Furthermore, 8he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem 9to be unfaithful, and led Judah astray.

12Then a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, “This is what the Lord, the God of your father David says: ‘Because 10you have not walked in the ways of your father Jehoshaphat 11and the ways of Asa king of Judah, 13but 12have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have caused Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to be unfaithful 13as the house of Ahab was unfaithful, and you 14have also killed your brothers, 15your own family, who were better than you,
