2. Krønikebok 21,7

David

5 Joram var trettito år gammel da han begynte å regjere, og han regjerte i åtte år i Jerusalem.

6 Han fulgte praksisene til kongene i Israel, akkurat som Akabs hus gjorde (for Akabs datter var hans kone), og han gjorde det som var ondt i Herrens øyne.

Likevel valgte Herren å ikke ødelegge Davids hus på grunn av den pakten Han hadde gjort med David, og siden Han hadde lovet å opprettholde en lampe for ham og hans sønner for alltid.

8 I hans dager gjorde Edom opprør mot Judas myndighet, og satte en konge over seg selv.

9 Da dro Joram over med sine befalingsmenn og alle sine vogner, og han sto opp om natten og slo ned edomittene som omringet ham og vognkommandantene.
