Thirty-two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Yerushalayim.
18
He walked in the way of the kings of Yisra'el, as did the house of Ach'av: for he had the daughter of Ach'av as wife; and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
19
However the LORD would not destroy Yehudah, for David his servant's sake, as he promised him to give to him a lamp for his children always.
20
In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Yehudah, and made a king over themselves.
21
Then Yoram passed over to Tza`ir, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and struck the Edom who surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.
22
So Edom revolted from under the hand of Yehudah to this day. Then did Livna revolt at the same time.
23
The rest of the acts of Yoram, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Yehudah?
24
Yoram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Achazyah his son reigned in his place.
25
In the twelfth year of Yoram the son of Ach'av king of Yisra'el did Achazyah the son of Yehoram king of Yehudah begin to reign.
26
Twenty-two years old was Achazyah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Yerushalayim. His mother's name was `Atalyah the daughter of `Omri king of Yisra'el.
27
He walked in the way of the house of Ach'av, and did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did the house of Ach'av; for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ach'av.
