2 Kings 8:17-19

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁷ Jehoram was 32 years old when he began to rule. He ruled eight years in Jerusalem. ¹⁸ But Jehoram lived as the kings of Israel and did what the Lord saw as evil. He lived as the people from Ahab’s family, because his wife was Ahab’s daughter. ¹⁹ But the Lord would not destroy Judah because of the promise to his servant David. He had promised David that someone from his family would always be king.
