17a son of thirty and two years was he in his reigning, and eight years he hath reigned in Jerusalem.
18And he walketh in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab, for a daughter of Ahab was to him for a wife, and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah,
19and Jehovah was not willing to destroy Judah, for the sake of David his servant, as He said to him, to give to him a lamp -- to his sons all the days.
20In his days hath Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and they cause a king to reign over them,
21and Joram passeth over to Zair, and all the chariots with him, and he himself hath risen by night, and smiteth Edom, that is coming round about unto him, and the heads of the chariots, and the people fleeth to its tents;
22and Edom revolteth from under the hand of Judah till this day; then doth Libnah revolt at that time.
23And the rest of the matters of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
