2 Chronicles 21:5-7

Christian Standard Bible

Judah’s King Jehoram

⁵ Jehoram^(A) was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. ⁶ He walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab had done,^(B) for Ahab’s daughter was his wife.^(C) He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, ⁷ but for the sake of the covenant the Lord had made with David, he was unwilling to destroy the house of David since the Lord had promised^(D) to give a lamp^[a](E) to David and to his sons forever.
