The Lord stirred up against Jehoram the Philistines and the Arabs who lived beside the Cushites.

God helped him in his campaigns against the Philistines, the Arabs living in Gur Baal, and the Meunites.

Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat tribute, including a load of silver. The Arabs brought him 7,700 rams and 7,700 goats from their flocks.

The residents of Jerusalem made his youngest son Ahaziah king in his place, for the raiding party that invaded the city with the Arabs had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah son of Jehoram became king of Judah.
