2 Chronicles 21:5-7

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Judah’s King Jehoram

⁵ Jehoram^(A) was 32 years old when he became king and reigned eight years in Jerusalem. ⁶ He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab had done,^(B) for Ahab’s daughter was his wife.^(C) He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, ⁷ but because of the covenant the Lord had made with David, He was unwilling to destroy the house of David since the Lord had promised^(D) to give a lamp^(E) to David and to his sons forever.
