2 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, but not like his father and mother; for he put away the sacred pillar of Baal athat his father had made.
3 Nevertheless he persisted in athe sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin; he did not depart from them.
4 Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheepbreeder, and he aregularly paid the king of Israel one hundred thousand blambs and the wool of one hundred thousand rams.
5 But it happened, when aAhab died, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
6 So King Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time and mustered all Israel.
7 Then he went and sent to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, saying, “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me to fight against Moab?” And he said, “I will go up; aI am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.”
8 Then he said, “Which way shall we go up?” And he answered, “By way of the Wilderness of Edom.”
