2 Kings 3:1-3

International Children’s Bible

War Between Israel and Moab

3 Joram son of Ahab became king over Israel at Samaria. He began to rule in Jehoshaphat’s eighteenth year as king of Judah. Joram ruled 12 years. ² Joram did what the Lord said was wrong. But he was not like his father and mother. He removed the stone pillars his father had made for Baal. ³ But he continued to do the same sins Jeroboam son of Nebat had done. Jeroboam had caused the people of Israel to sin. And Joram did not stop doing these same sins.
