2 Chronicles 21:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ He was thirty-two years old when he began to ·rule [reign], and he ·ruled [reigned] eight years in Jerusalem. ⁶ He ·followed [^Lwalked] in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the ·family [^Lhouse] of Ahab had done, because he married Ahab’s daughter. Jehoram did ·what the Lord said was wrong [^Levil in the Lord’s sight/eyes]. ⁷ But the Lord would not destroy David’s ·family [^Lhouse] because of the ·agreement [covenant; treaty] he had made with David. He had promised ·that one of David’s descendants would always rule [^Lto give a lamp to David and his descendants/sons forever; ^Chere a lamp symbolizes a dynasty].
