2 Kings 8:18-20

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁸ But Jehoram lived as the kings of Israel and did what the Lord saw as evil. He lived as the people from Ahab’s family, because his wife was Ahab’s daughter. ¹⁹ But the Lord would not destroy Judah because of the promise to his servant David. He had promised David that someone from his family would always be king.

²⁰ In Jehoram’s time Edom broke away from Judah’s rule. The people of Edom chose a king for themselves.
