2 Kings 8:18-20

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁸ He followed the ways of the kings of Israel, as Ahab’s family had done, because his wife was Ahab’s daughter. So he did what the Lord considered evil. ¹⁹ But for David’s sake the Lord didn’t want to destroy Judah. The Lord had told David that he would always give him and his descendants a ⌞shining⌟ lamp.

²⁰ During Jehoram’s time Edom rebelled against Judah and chose its own king.
