2 Kings 8:18 in Context — 2 Kings 8
16 No quinto ano de Jorão filho de Acabe rei de Israel, e sendo Josafá rei de Judá, começou a reinar Jeorão filho de Josafá rei de Judá.
17 De trinta e dois anos era quando começou a reinar, e oito anos reinou em Jerusalém.
18 E andou no caminho dos reis de Israel, como fez a casa de Acabe, porque uma filha de Acabe foi sua mulher; e fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR.
19 Contudo, o SENHOR não quis destruir Judá, por amor de Davi seu servo, como lhe havia prometido dar-lhe lâmpada de seus filhos perpetuamente.
20 Em seu tempo Edom rebelou-se de sob o domínio de Judá, e puseram rei sobre si.
