The Reign of Jehoram of Israel

31 Ahab's son Joram began to rule over Israel in the eighteenth year of King Jehoshaphat's reign in Judah. He reigned in Samaria 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.
