2 Kings 8:18-20
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
18 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel as the house of Ahab had done, since the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did what was evil in the Lord’s sight. 19 Even so, the Lord was unwilling to destroy Judah, for the sake of his servant David. For he had promised David that he would leave him a holding in the Lord’s presence for all time.(A) 20 During Joram’s reign, Edom revolted against the rule of Judah and installed a king of its own.
