Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat begins to reign, eight years in Jerusalem

여호사밧의 아들 여호람이 왕이 되어 예루살렘에서 팔년을 치리함

2 Kings 8:16–19: the text says, “In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being king of Judah then, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign. He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign. He reigned eight years in Jerusalem. He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house, for he married Ahab’s daughter. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight. However, the LORD would not destroy Judah, for David his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give to him a lamp for his children always.” The Korean Revised Version names Jehoram at 8:17 (여호람이 위에 나아갈 때에), where WEB says “He”, and at 8:19 reads 저와 그 자손에게 항상 등불을 주겠다고, to give a lamp always to him and to his descendants.
