1Now Iehoram the sonne of Ahab began to reigne ouer Israel in Samaria, the eighteenth yere of Iehoshaphat king of Iudah, and reigned twelue yeeres. 2And he wrought euill in the sight of the Lord, but not like his father and like his mother; for hee put away the image of Baal that his father had made. 3Neuerthelesse, hee cleaued vnto the sinnes of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, which made Israel to sinne; he departed not therefrom. 4¶ And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepe-master, and rendred vnto the king of Israel an hundred thousand lambes, and an hundred thousand rammes, with the wooll. 5But it came to passe when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
