2 Kings 8:18-20

New Century Version

¹⁸ He followed the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the family of Ahab had done, because he married Ahab’s daughter. Jehoram did what the Lord said was wrong. ¹⁹ But the Lord would not destroy Judah because of his servant David. The Lord had promised that one of David’s descendants would always rule.

²⁰ In Jehoram’s time Edom broke away from Judah’s rule and chose their own king.
