2 Kings 8:18 BBE

¹⁶  In the fifth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became king.

¹⁷  He was thirty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years.

¹⁸  He went in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the family of Ahab did: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord.

¹⁹  But it was not the Lord's purpose to send destruction on Judah, because of David his servant, to whom he had given his word that he would have a light for ever.

²⁰  In his time, Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah, and took a king for themselves.
