2 Chronicles 21:5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵ Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he ruled as king in Jerusalem for eight years.

⁶ He walked in the way of the kings of Israel as the house of Ahab had done, because the daughter of Ahab was his wife. So he did evil in the eyes of the Lord.

⁷ But the Lord was not willing to destroy the house of David, because of the covenant he had made with David, when he promised him and his sons that he would keep a light shining for all time.^[a]
