2. Kongebok 3,2

1 Joram, sønn av Akab, ble konge over Israel i Samaria i det attende året til Josjafat, kongen av Juda, og han regjerte i tolv år.

Han gjorde det som var ondt i Herrens øyne, men ikke som hans far og mor, for han fjernet Ba'als hellige støtte som hans far hadde laget.

3 Likevel holdt han fast ved Jeroboams, Nebats sønns, synder, som fikk Israel til å synde. Han vendte seg ikke bort fra dem.

4 Nå var Mesja, kongen av Moab, en saueoppdretter, og han pleide å betale kongen av Israel en tributt på hundre tusen lam og ullen fra hundre tusen værer.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
