2 Kings 8:18-27

18He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for 1Ahab’s daughter was his wife; and he did evil in the sight of the Lord. 19However, the Lord did not want to destroy Judah, for the sake of David His servant, 2since He had 3promised him to give him a 4lamp through his sons always.

20In his days 5Edom broke away from the 6rule of Judah, and appointed a king over themselves. 21Then Joram crossed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him. And he got up at night and struck the Edomites who had surrounded him and the captains of the chariots; 7but 8his army fled to their tents. 229So Edom has broken away from 10Judah to this day. Then 11Libnah broke away at the same time. 23Now the rest of the acts of Joram and everything that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 24So Joram 12lay down with his fathers and 13was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and his son 14Ahaziah became king in his place.

2515In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign. 2616Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Athaliah the granddaughter of Omri king of Israel. 2717He walked in the way of the house of Ahab and did evil in the sight of the Lord, like the house of Ahab, because he was a son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
