Jehoram Reigns over Judah

¹⁶ In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab, king of Israel,^[a] Jeho′ram the son of Jehosh′aphat, king of Judah, began to reign. ¹⁷ He was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. ¹⁸ And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab had done, for the daughter of Ahab was his wife. And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord.
