2 Kings 8:18-26

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 the LORDH3068. 19Yet the LORDH3068 wouldH14 not destroyH7843 JudahH3063 for DavidH1732 his servant’sH5650 sake, as he promisedH559 him to giveH5414 him alwaysH3117 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 who surroundedH5437 him, and the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393: and the peopleH5971 fledH5127 into their tentsH168. 22Yet EdomH123 revoltedH6586 from under the handH3027 of JudahH3063 to this dayH3117. Then LibnahH3841 revoltedH6586 at the sameH1931 timeH6256. 23And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JoramH3141, and all that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697H3117 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 stead.2

25In the twelfthH8147H6240H8141 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 oneH259 yearH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was AthaliahH6271, the daughterH1323 of OmriH6018 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.3
