2 Kings 8:26 in Context — 2 Kings 8

24 Joram se coucha avec ses pères, et il fut enterré avec ses pères dans la ville de David. Et Achazia, son fils, régna à sa place.

25 La douzième année de Joram, fils d’Achab, roi d’Israël, Achazia, fils de Joram, roi de Juda, régna.

26 Achazia avait vingt-deux ans lorsqu’il devint roi, et il régna un an à Jérusalem. Sa mère s’appelait Athalie, fille d’Omri, roi d’Israël.

27 Il marcha dans la voie de la maison d’Achab, et il fit ce qui est mal aux yeux de l’Éternel, comme la maison d’Achab, car il était allié par mariage à la maison d’Achab.

28 Il alla avec Joram, fils d’Achab, à la guerre contre Hazaël, roi de Syrie, à Ramoth en Galaad. Et les Syriens blessèrent Joram.
