Thematic Bible: Reigns

The fifth year of Jehoram son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being yet king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, began to reign. Thirty two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 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 that displeased the LORD. read more.
Neverthelater, the LORD would not destroy Judah because of David his servant, as he promised him to give him a light in his children always. And in his days Edom fell away from under the hand of Judah, and made them a king of their own. And Jehoram went to Seir, and all his chariots with him. And he rose by night and laid on the Edomites, which compassed him in, and the captains of his chariot and the people fled into their tents. And so the Edomites slipped away from under the hand of Judah unto this day. And then Libnah slipped away too, even that same time. The rest of the deeds of Jehoram and all he did, are written in the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah. And Jehoram rested with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
