Synopsis: After spending much time with the prophets, we return to focus on the kings of Israel and Judah. Jehoram, or Joram, began to reign in Judah and behaved very wickedly. Because of his sins the enemies of Judah had success in battle against him. He also suffered personally for his wickedness and when he died no one missed him.
