2 Kings 8:17-22
17ThirtyH7970 and twoH8147 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was he when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 eightH8083 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. 18And he walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, as didH6213 the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for the daughterH1323 of AhabH256 was his wifeH802: and he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of YhwhH3068. 19Yet YhwhH3068 wouldH14 not destroyH7843 JudahH3063 for DavidH1732 his servant’sH5650 sake, as he promisedH559 him to giveH5414 him alwayH3117 a lightH5216, and to his childrenH1121.1
20In his daysH3117 EdomH123 revoltedH6586 from under the handH3027 of JudahH3063, and madeH4427 a kingH4428 over themselves. 21So JoramH3141 went overH5674 to ZairH6811, and all the chariotsH7393 with him: and he roseH6965 by nightH3915, and smoteH5221 the EdomitesH123 which compassed him aboutH5437, and the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393: and the peopleH5971 fledH5127 into their tentsH168. 22Yet EdomH123 revoltedH6586 from under the handH3027 of JudahH3063 unto this dayH3117. Then LibnahH3841 revoltedH6586 at the sameH1931 timeH6256.
