Confirmatum est igitur regnum in manu Salomonis, et affinitate conjunctus est Pharaoni regi Ægypti : accepit namque filiam ejus, et adduxit in civitatem David, donec compleret ædificans domum suam, et domum Domini, et murum Jerusalem per circuitum.
Joram vero filius Achab regnavit super Israël in Samaria anno decimooctavo Josaphat regis Judæ: regnavitque duodecim annis.

Reciprocal: Genesis 19:37 - Moabites 2 Kings 3:11 - that we may Matthew 1:8 - Josaphat
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah,.... So that the two years of the reign of his brother Ahaziah were not complete, only part of the seventeenth and part of the eighteenth of Jehoshaphat, since he began to reign in his seventeenth year, at the beginning of that, and died towards the close of the eighteenth, when Jehoram succeeded him, see 1 Kings 22:51, and reigned twelve years.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
In the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat - This date agrees exactly with the statements that Jehoshaphat began to reign in the fourth year of Ahab 1 Kings 22:41, and Ahaziah in the 17th year of Jehoshaphat 1 Kings 22:51.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER III
The reign and idolatry of Jehoram, king of Israel, 1-3.
Mesha, king of Moab, rebels against Israel, 4, 5.
Jehoram, Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom join against the
Moabites, and are brought into great distress for want of
water, 6-10.
The three kings go to Elisha to inquire of the Lord; who
promises them water, and a complete victory, 11-19.
Water comes the next morning, and fills the trenches which
these kings had made in the valley, 20.
The Moabites arm against them; and suppose, when they see the
sun shining upon the waters, which look like blood, that the
confederate kings have fallen out, and slain each other; and
that they have nothing to do but take the spool, 21-23.
The Israelites attack and completely rout then, beat down their
cities, and mar their land, 24, 25.
The king of Moab, having made an unsuccessful attack on the
king of Edom, takes his eldest son, and of offers him for a
burnt-offering upon the wall; and there is great indignation
against Israel, 26, 27.
