Compare all

3 Their father gave them great gifts of silver and gold and precious things, with fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn.

4 Now when Jehoram was established over the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself and killed all his brothers with the sword, and also others of the princes of Israel.

5 ^aJehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

6 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for he had the daughter of ^aAhab as a wife; and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.

7 Yet the Lord would not destroy the house of David, because of the ^acovenant that He had made with David, and since He had promised to give a lamp to him and to his ^bsons forever.

8 ^aIn his days Edom revolted against Judah’s authority, and made a king over themselves.

9 So Jehoram went out with his officers, and all his chariots with him. And he rose by night and attacked the Edomites who had surrounded him and the captains of the chariots.
