2 Chronicles 21:5-7

Revised Geneva Translation

⁵ Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign. And he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem.

⁶ And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as the House of Ahab had done. For he took the daughter of Ahab as a wife. And he wrought evil in the Eyes of the LORD.

⁷ However, the LORD would not destroy the House of David, because of the Covenant that He had made with David, and because He had promised to give a light to him and to his sons forever.
