2 Kings 3:1-2
Living Bible
3 Ahab’s son Joram began his reign over Israel during the eighteenth year of the reign of King Jehoshaphat[a] of Judah; and he reigned twelve years. His capital was Samaria. 2 He was a very evil man, but not as wicked as his father and mother had been, for he at least tore down the pillar to Baal that his father had made.
