BRAGADAYJAH 1083
Death of Joram, Ahaziah Reigns
In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat began to reign. Jehoram was thirty two years old when he began to reign and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he did according to the kings of Israel as did the house of Ahab; for his wife was the daughter of Ahab; and he did evil in the sight of the Lord. Yet the Lord would not destroy Judah for David His servant’s sake, as he had promised him, to give always to him and his children a light. And in the days of Jehoram, Edom revolted against Judah and made a king over themselves. And so Joram went over to Zair and all his chariots with him; and he rose by night and smote the Edomites round about and the captains and the chariots and the people fled to their tents. Yet Edom revolted from under the rule of Judah and stayed separated ever after. And after that Joram died and was buried in the city of David and his son Ahaziah If there is an apparent inconsistency in this account, it can be clarified easily if we understand that the names Jehoram and Joram are used interchangeably. So for instance [ 2 Ki. 8:21 ] “So Joram went over to Zair,”] So also verse 23, Joram died and was buried in Jerusalem and succeeded by Azariah. These references are references to Jehoram.
