2 Kings 3:2-4
Amplified Bible
2 He did evil in the sight of the Lord, but not like his father and mother; for he put away the sacred pillar of Baal that his father had made. 3 Nevertheless, he continued in the [idolatrous] sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin; he did not depart from them.
4 [a]Mesha the king of Moab was a sheep breeder, and he used to pay [an annual tribute] to the king of Israel 100,000 lambs and the wool of 100,000 rams.

2 Kings 3:2-4
New International Version
2 He did evil(A) in the eyes of the Lord, but not as his father(B) and mother had done. He got rid of the sacred stone(C) of Baal that his father had made. 3 Nevertheless he clung to the sins(D) of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit; he did not turn away from them.
4 Now Mesha king of Moab(E) raised sheep, and he had to pay the king of Israel a tribute of a hundred thousand lambs(F) and the wool of a hundred thousand rams.
