2He did evil in the eyes of the Lord; but not like his father and his mother, for he put away the stone pillar of Baal which his father had made.
3But still he did the same sins which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do; he went on in them.
4Now Mesha, king of Moab, was a sheep-farmer; and he gave regularly to the king of Israel the wool from a hundred thousand lambs and a hundred thousand sheep.
5But when Ahab was dead, the king of Moab got free from the authority of the king of Israel.
6At that time, King Jehoram went out from Samaria and got all Israel together in fighting order.
7And he sent to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab has got free from my authority: will you go with me to make war on Moab? And he said, I will go with you: I am as you are, my people as your people, and my horses as your horses.
8And he said, Which way are we to go? And he said in answer, By the waste land of Edom.
