2 Chronicles 21:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ He ·followed [^Lwalked] in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the ·family [^Lhouse] of Ahab had done, because he married Ahab’s daughter. Jehoram did ·what the Lord said was wrong [^Levil in the Lord’s sight/eyes]. ⁷ But the Lord would not destroy David’s ·family [^Lhouse] because of the ·agreement [covenant; treaty] he had made with David. He had promised ·that one of David’s descendants would always rule [^Lto give a lamp to David and his descendants/sons forever; ^Chere a lamp symbolizes a dynasty].

⁸ In Jehoram’s time, Edom ·broke away from [revolted/rebelled against] Judah’s ·rule [reign] and ·chose [set up] their own king.
