2 Kings 8:17-19

International Standard Version

¹⁷ He was 32 years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eight years. ¹⁸ He lived his life like the kings of Israel did, following the example of Ahab’s household when he married Ahab’s daughter and practiced what was evil in the Lord’s presence.^{[a] 19} But the Lord remained unwilling to destroy Judah for the sake of his servant David, since he had promised to keep^[b] David’s lamp burning brightly through his descendants every day.
