Bible. Kings, 2nd
12:008:015 And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took a thick cloth,
and dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he
died: and Hazael reigned in his stead.
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
