2 Rois 8:16 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 8:16

And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel,
&c.] Who began his reign in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat, ( 2 Kings 3:1 ) .

Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah;
as he continued to be two years more; for this must be in the twenty third year of his reign, and he reigned twenty five years, ( 1 Kings 22:42 ) .

Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign;
according to Dr. Lightfoot F8, there were three beginnings of his reign; "first", when his father went with Ahab to Ramothgilead, when be was left viceroy, and afterwards his father reassumed the kingdom; the "second" time was, when Jehoshaphat went with the kings of Israel and Edom against Moab; and this is the time here respected, which was in the fifth of Joram king of Israel; and the "third" time was, at the death of his father; but knew his father was living.

2 Rois 8:16 In-Context

14 Alors Hazaël quitta Élisée et vint vers son maître qui lui dit: Que t'a dit Élisée? Il répondit: Il m'a dit: Certainement tu guériras!
15 Mais, le lendemain, il prit une couverture, et, la plongeant dans l'eau, il l'étendit sur le visage de Ben-Hadad, qui en mourut. Et Hazaël régna à sa place.
16 La cinquième année de Joram, fils d'Achab, roi d'Israël (Josaphat étant encore roi de Juda), Joram, fils de Josaphat, roi de Juda, commença à régner sur Juda.
17 Il était âgé de trente-deux ans quand il commença à régner, et il régna huit ans à Jérusalem.
18 Il suivit la voie des rois d'Israël, comme avait fait la maison d'Achab; car la fille d'Achab était sa femme. Il fit donc ce qui est mauvais aux yeux de l'Éternel.
