12:008:016 And in the fifth year of Joram the son
of Ahab king of Israel,
Jehoshaphat
being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Je
hoshaphat
king of Judah began to reign.
12:008:017 Thirty and two years old was he when he
began to reign; and he
reigned
eight years in Jerusalem.
12:008:018 And he walked in the way of the kings of
Israel, as did the
house
of Ahab: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife:
and he
did
evil in the sight of the lord.
12:008:019 Yet the lord would not destroy Judah
for David his servant’s
sake,
as he promised him to give him alway a light, and to
his
children.
12:008:020 In his days Edom revolted from under the
hand of Judah, and
made
a king over themselves.
12:008:021 So Joram went over to Zair, and all the
chariots with him: and
he
rose by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed
him
about,
and the captains of the chariots: and the people
fled
into
their tents.
12:008:022 Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of
Judah unto this day.
Then
Libnah revolted at the same time.
12:008:023 And the rest of the acts of Joram, and
all that he did, are
they
not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings
of
Judah?
12:008:024 And Joram slept with his fathers, and was
buried with his
fathers
in the city of David: and Ahaziah his son reigned
in
his
stead.
12:008:025 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of
Ahab king of Israel
did
Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign.
12:008:026 Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when
he began to reign;
and
he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother’s
name
was
Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
12:008:027 And he walked in the way of the house of
Ahab, and did evil in
the
sight of the lord, as did the house of Ahab:
for he was
the
son in law of the house of Ahab.
12:008:028 And he went with Joram the son of Ahab
to the war against
Hazael
king of Syria in Ramothgilead; and the Syrians wounded
Joram.
12:008:029 And king Joram went back to be healed in
Jezreel of the wounds
which
the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought
against
Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram
king
of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in
Jezreel,
because he was sick.
12:009:001 And Elisha the prophet called one of the
children of the
prophets,
and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this
box
of oil in thine hand, and go to Ramothgilead:
