  ⁴¹Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
  ⁴²Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
  ⁴³He walked in all the way of Asa his father. He didn’t turn away from it, doing that which was right in the LORD’s eyes. However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
  ⁴⁴Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
  ⁴⁵Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he fought, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
  ⁴⁶The remnant of the sodomites, that remained in the days of his father Asa, he put away out of the land.
  ⁴⁷There was no king in Edom. A deputy ruled.
  ⁴⁸Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, but they didn’t go, for the ships wrecked at Ezion Geber.
  ⁴⁹Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships.” But Jehoshaphat would not.
  ⁵⁰Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city. Jehoram his son reigned in his place.

2 Kings 8:16 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”; 8:21, “Then Joram crossed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him”; and 8:24, “Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.” The Korean Revised Version calls the son of Jehoshaphat 여호람 throughout 8:16–24; WEB calls him Jehoram at 8:16 and Joram at 8:21, 8:23 and 8:24, and calls the son of Ahab Joram too (8:16, 8:25, 8:28–29).

  ¹⁶In 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.
  ¹⁷He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign. He reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
  ¹⁸He 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.
  ¹⁹However, 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.

  ²⁰In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
  ²¹Then Joram crossed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him; and he rose up by night and struck the Edomites who surrounded him with the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.
  ²²So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.

Matthew 1:8 says that Jehoshaphat became the father of Joram; 1 Kings 22:50 says that Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, reigned in his place; and 2 Kings 8:16–24 tells how the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign and slept with his fathers. Both editions read 요람 / Joram at Matthew 1:8 and 여호람 / Jehoram at 1 Kings 22:50. At 2 Kings 8:16–24 the Korean Revised Version reads 여호람, and WEB reads Jehoram at 8:16 and Joram at 8:21, 8:23 and 8:24; the same chapter calls the son of Ahab 요람 / Joram too. The text does not say that Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat is the Joram of Matthew 1:8. This collection records Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat apart from the Joram of Matthew 1:8 (Joram the son of Ahab is another entry again), and does not decide whether they are the same man.

  ³Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jechiliah, of Jerusalem.
  ⁴He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
  ⁵He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the vision of God; and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him prosper.
