2 Kings 8:16-26
16And in the fifthH2568 yearH8141 of JoramH3141 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, JehoshaphatH3092 beingH1121 then kingH4428 of JudahH3063, JehoramH3088 the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began to reignH4427.
17ThirtyH7970 and twoH8147 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was he when he beganH1961 to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 eightH8083 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389.
18And he walked in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, as didH6213 the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for he had the daughterH1323 of AhabH256 to wifeH802: and he didH6213 that whichH834 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.
19Howbeit the LORDH3068 would notH3808 destroyH7843 JudahH3063, for DavidH1732 his servant’sH5650 sakeH4616, as he promisedH559 him to giveH5414 unto him a lampH5216 for his childrenH1121 alway.
20In his daysH3117 EdomH123 revoltedH6586 from underH8478 the handH3027 of JudahH3063, and made a kingH4428 over themselvesH5921.
21Then JoramH3141 passedH5674 over to ZairH6811, and allH3605 his chariotsH7393 with him: and he roseH6965 upH6965 by nightH3915, and smoteH5221 the EdomitesH123 whichH1931 compassed him aboutH1961, and the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393: and the peopleH5971 fledH5127 to their tentsH168.
22SoH2088 EdomH123 revoltedH6586 from underH8478 the handH3027 of JudahH3063, unto this dayH3117. Then didH3117 LibnahH3841 revolt at the sameH1931 time.
23And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JoramH3141, and allH3605 that he didH6213, are they notH3808 writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
24And JoramH3141 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732: and AhaziahH274 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his steadH8478.
25In the twelfth yearH8141 of JoramH3141 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 did AhaziahH274 the sonH1121 of JehoramH3088 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 begin to reignH4427.
26TwoH8147 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was AhaziahH274 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 one yearH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was AthaliahH6271 the daughterH1323 of OmriH6018 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
