2 Chronicles 21:5-7

New American Standard Bible

^5 (A)Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem. ^6 (B)He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, ^(C)for Ahab’s daughter was his wife; and he did evil in the sight of the Lord. ⁷ Yet the Lord was not willing to destroy the house of David because of the covenant which He had made with David, ^(D)and because He had promised to give a lamp to him and his sons forever.
