He also followed their advice and went with Joram[a] son of Israel’s King Ahab to fight against King Hazael of Aram, in Ramoth-gilead. The Arameans[b] wounded Joram, so he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds they inflicted on him in Ramoth-gilead[c] when he fought against King Hazael of Aram.
