Contextual Overview
1 Y'horam the son of Ach'av began his reign over Isra'el in Shomron during the eighteenth year of Y'hoshafat king of Y'hudah, and he ruled for twelve years. 2 He did what was evil from Adonai 's perspective; but he was not as bad as his father and mother, because he got rid of Ba‘al's standing-stone which his father had made. 3 Nevertheless, he clung to the sins of Yarov‘am the son of N'vat, with which he had led Isra'el into sin; he never turned away from them. 4 Mesha king of Mo'av was a sheep-breeder, and he used to send the king of Isra'el the wool of 100,000 lambs and of 100,000 rams as tribute. 5 But after Ach'av died, the king of Mo'av rebelled against the king of Isra'el.
