The Reign of Jehoram of Israel

31 In the eighteenth year of King Jehoshaphat of Judah, Jehoram son of Ahab became king over Israel in Samaria; he reigned twelve years.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Kings 3:1

Commentary on 2 Kings 3:1-5

(Read 2 Kings 3:1-5)

Jehoram took warning by God's judgment, and put away the image of Baal, yet he maintained the worship of the calves. Those do not truly repent or reform, who only part with the sins they lose by, but continue to love the sins that they think to gain by.
