2 Kings 3:1-2
EasyEnglish Bible

Moab's people fight against Israel

Jehoram ruled Israel as king for 12 years. 2 He did things that the Lord said were evil. But he was not as bad as his father and his mother had been. Jehoram did throw away the stone pillar where people worshipped Baal. His father Ahab had made that pillar.[b]

Footnotes

  1. 3:1 Jehoram is also called Joram in some Bibles. Samaria was the capital city of Israel.
  2. 3:2 Baal was a false god. Some kings of Israel caused their people to worship Baal. Perhaps this was to keep them away from God's house in Jerusalem.
