15 But it happened on the next day that he took a thick cloth and dipped it in water, and spread it over his face so that he died; and Hazael reigned in his place.
Jehoram Reigns in Judah
16 Now ain the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoshaphat having been king of Judah, bJehoram the son of Jehoshaphat began to reign as king of Judah.
17 He was athirty-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, just as the house of Ahab had done, for athe daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.
19 Yet the Lord would not destroy Judah, for the sake of His servant David, aas He promised him to give a lamp to him and his sons forever.
