8:16

And in the fifth
<02568>

year
<08141>

of Joram
<03141>

the son
<01121>

of Ahab
<0256>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Jehoshaphat
<03092>

[being] then king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

Jehoram
<03088>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoshaphat
<03092>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

began to reign
<04427> (8804)_.

{began...: Heb. reigned}

8:17

Thirty
<07970>

and two
<08147>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

was he when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_;

and he reigned
<04427> (8804)

eight
<08083>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

8:18

And he walked
<03212> (8799)

in the way
<01870>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

as did
<06213> (8804)

the house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>_:

for the daughter
<01323>

of Ahab
<0256>

was his wife
<0802>_:

and he did
<06213> (8799)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

8:19

Yet the LORD
<03068>

would
<014> (8804)

not destroy
<07843> (8687)

Judah
<03063>

for David
<01732>

his servant's
<05650>

sake, as he promised
<0559> (8804)

him to give
<05414> (8800)

him alway
<03117>

a light
<05216>_,

[and] to his children
<01121>_.

{light: Heb. candle, or, lamp}

8:20

In his days
<03117>

Edom
<0123>

revolted
<06586> (8804)

from under the hand
<03027>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and made
<04427> (8686)

a king
<04428>

over themselves.

8:21

So Joram
<03141>

went over
<05674> (8799)

to Zair
<06811>_,

and all the chariots
<07393>

with him: and he rose
<06965> (8804)

by night
<03915>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

the Edomites
<0123>

which compassed him about
<05437> (8802)_,

and the captains
<08269>

of the chariots
<07393>_:

and the people
<05971>

fled
<05127> (8799)

into their tents
<0168>_.

8:22

Yet Edom
<0123>

revolted
<06586> (8799)

from under the hand
<03027>

of Judah
<03063>

unto this day
<03117>_.

Then Libnah
<03841>

revolted
<06586> (8799)

at the same
<01931>

time
<06256>_.

8:23

And the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Joram
<03141>_,

and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_?

8:24

And Joram
<03141>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

and was buried
<06912> (8735)

with his fathers
<01>

in the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_:

and Ahaziah
<0274>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead. {Ahaziah: also called, Azariah, and Jehoahaz}

8:25

In the twelfth
<08147> <06240> <08141>

year
<08141>

of Joram
<03141>

the son
<01121>

of Ahab
<0256>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

did Ahaziah
<0274>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoram
<03088>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

begin to reign
<04427> (8804)_.

8:26

Two
<08147>

and twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

[was] Ahaziah
<0274>

when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_;

and he reigned
<04427> (8804)

one
<0259>

year
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And his mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Athaliah
<06271>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Omri
<06018>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{daughter: or, granddaughter}

8:27

And he walked
<03212> (8799)

in the way
<01870>

of the house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>_,

and did
<06213> (8799)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

as [did] the house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>_:

for he [was] the son in law
<02860>

of the house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>_.

8:28

And he went
<03212> (8799)

with Joram
<03141>

the son
<01121>

of Ahab
<0256>

to the war
<04421>

against Hazael
<02371>

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

in Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>_;

and the Syrians
<0761>

wounded
<05221> (8686)

Joram
<03141>_.

8:29

And king
<04428>

Joram
<03141>

went back
<07725> (8799)

to be healed
<07495> (8692)

in Jezreel
<03157>

of the wounds
<04347>

which the Syrians
<0761>

had given
<05221> (8686)

him at Ramah

when he fought
<03898> (8736)

against Hazael
<02371>

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>_.

And Ahaziah
<0274>

the son
<01121>
