2 Chronicles 21:6-13

6And he walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, as didH6213 the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for he had the daughterH1323 of AhabH256 for a wifeH802: and he wroughtH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068. 7Yet the LORDH3068 wouldH14 not destroyH7843 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, because of the covenantH1285 that he had madeH3772 with DavidH1732, and as he promisedH559 to giveH5414 a lightH5216 to him and to his sonsH1121 for everH3117.1 8In his daysH3117 the EdomitesH123 revoltedH6586 from under the dominionH3027 of JudahH3063, and madeH4427 themselves a kingH4428.2 9Then JehoramH3088 went forthH5674 with his princesH8269, and all his chariotsH7393 with him: and he roseH6965 by nightH3915, and smoteH5221 the EdomitesH123 who surrounded himH5437, and the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393. 10So the EdomitesH123 revoltedH6586 from under the handH3027 of JudahH3063 to this dayH3117. The same timeH6256 also did LibnahH3841 revoltH6586 from under his handH3027; because he had forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of his fathersH1. 11Moreover he madeH6213 high placesH1116 in the mountainsH2022 of JudahH3063, and caused the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 to play the harlotH2181, and compelledH5080 JudahH3063 to do the same .

12And there cameH935 a writingH4385 to him from ElijahH452 the prophetH5030, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, Because thou hast not walkedH1980 in the waysH1870 of JehoshaphatH3092 thy fatherH1, nor in the waysH1870 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, 13But hast walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, and hast made JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 to play the harlotH2181, like the harlotriesH2181 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256, and also hast slainH2026 thy brethrenH251 of thy father’sH1 houseH1004, who were betterH2896 than thyself:
