2 Kings 3:1-3

Good News Translation

War between Israel and Moab

3 In the eighteenth year of the reign of King Jehoshaphat of Judah, Joram son of Ahab became king of Israel, and he ruled in Samaria for twelve years. ² He sinned against the Lord, but he was not as bad as his father or his mother Jezebel; he pulled down the image his father had made for the worship of Baal. ³ Yet, like King Jeroboam son of Nebat before him, he led Israel into sin and would not stop.
