2 Raja-raja 8:14-29

8:14 He left Elisha and went to his master. Ben Hadad ¹  asked him, “What did Elisha tell you?” Hazael ²  replied, “He told me you would surely recover.” 8:15 The next day Hazael ³  took a piece of cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it over Ben Hadad’s ⁴  face until he died. Then Hazael replaced him as king.

Jehoram’s Reign over Judah

8:16 In the fifth year of the reign of Israel’s King Joram, son of Ahab, Jehoshaphat’s son Jehoram became king over Judah. ⁵  8:17 He was thirty-two years old when he became king and he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem. ⁶  8:18 He followed in the footsteps of the kings of Israel, just as Ahab’s dynasty had done, for he married Ahab’s daughter. ⁷  He did evil in the sight of ⁸  the Lord. 8:19 But the Lord was unwilling to destroy Judah. He preserved Judah for the sake of ⁹  his servant David to whom he had promised a perpetual dynasty. ¹⁰ 

8:20 During his reign Edom freed themselves from Judah’s control and set up their own king. ¹¹  8:21 Joram ¹²  crossed over to Zair with all his chariots. The Edomites, who had surrounded him, attacked at night and defeated him and his chariot officers. ¹³  The Israelite army retreated to their homeland. ¹⁴  8:22 So Edom has remained free from Judah’s control to this very day. ¹⁵  At that same time Libnah also rebelled.

8:23 The rest of the events of Joram’s reign, including a record of his accomplishments, are recorded in the scroll called the Annals of the Kings of Judah. ¹⁶  8:24 Joram passed away ¹⁷  and was buried with his ancestors in the city of David. His son Ahaziah replaced him as king.

Ahaziah Takes the Throne of Judah

8:25 In the twelfth year of the reign of Israel’s King Joram, son of Ahab, Jehoram’s son Ahaziah became king over Judah. 8:26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king and he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. ¹⁸  His mother was Athaliah, the granddaughter ¹⁹  of King Omri of Israel. 8:27 He followed in the footsteps of Ahab’s dynasty and did evil in the sight of ²⁰  the Lord, like Ahab’s dynasty, for he was related to Ahab’s family. ²¹ 

8:28 He joined Ahab’s son Joram in a battle against King Hazael of Syria at Ramoth Gilead in which the Syrians defeated Joram. 8:29 King Joram returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he received from the Syrians ²²  in Ramah when he fought against King Hazael of Syria. King Ahaziah son of Jehoram of Judah went down to visit ²³  Joram son of Ahab in Jezreel, for he was ill.
