little ones, and rip up their women with child. 008:013 Hazael said, But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he should do this great thing? Elisha answered, Yahweh has shown me that you shall be king over Syria. 008:014 Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master; who said to him, What said Elisha to you? He answered, He told me that you would surely recover. 008:015 It happened on the next day, that he took the coverlet, and dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died: and Hazael reigned in his place. 008:016 In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign. 008:017 Thirty-two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 008:018 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab as wife; and he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh. 008:019 However Yahweh would not destroy Judah, for David his servant's sake, as he promised him to give to him a lamp for his children always. 008:020 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves. 008:021 Then Joram passed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents. 008:022 So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then did Libnah revolt at the same time. 008:023 The rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 008:024 Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place. 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. 008:026 Twenty-two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri king of Israel. 008:027 He walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as did the house of Ahab; for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab. 008:028 He went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead: and the Syrians wounded Joram. 008:029 King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
