Jehoram took to wife Athaliah, his namesake's sister and daughter of Ahab and Jezebel, "and he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab" (II Kings viii. 18, 27). His wickedness would have brought his people to destruction, except for the promise to David "to give him always a light, and to his children" (ib. viii. 19 ...
