In the fifth year of Joram son of Ahab
king of Israel,
when Jehosphaphat was king of Judah,
Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat
began his reign as king of Judah.
He was thirty-two years old when he became king,
and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years.
He walked in the ways of kings of Israel,
as the house of Ahab had done,
for he married a daughter of Ahab.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord.
In the twelfth year of Joram son of Ahab king of Israel,
Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.
Ahaziah was twenty-two year old when he became king,
and he reigned in Jerusalem one year.
His mother's name was Athaliah,
a granddaughter of Omri king of Israel.
He walked in the ways of the house of Ahab
and did evil in the evils of the Lord,
as the house of Ahab had done,
for he was related by marriage to Ahab's family.
(II Kings 8:16-18, 25-27)
