2 Chronicles 21:6-8

Easy-to-Read Version

⁶ He lived the same way the kings of Israel lived. He lived the same way Ahab’s family lived. This was because Jehoram married Ahab’s daughter. And Jehoram did evil in the Lord’s sight. ⁷ But the Lord would not destroy David’s family because of the agreement he made with David. He had promised to keep a lamp burning for David and his children forever.^[a]

⁸ In Jehoram’s time, Edom broke away from under Judah’s authority. The people of Edom chose their own king.
