;
2 Chron. 21:4‑7• 4And Jehoram established himself over the kingdom of his father, and strengthened himself; and he slew all his brethren with the sword, and certain also of the princes of Israel.
 5Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
 6And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab, for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the sight of Jehovah.
 7But Jehovah would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he had promised to give to him always a lamp, and to his sons. (2 Chron. 21:4‑7)

 10And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she rose up and exterminated all the royal seed of the house of Judah.
 11But Jehoshabeath the daughter of the king took Joash the son of Ahaziah and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah, so that she did not slay him;
 12and he was with them hid in the house of God six years. And Athaliah reigned over the land. (2 Chron. 22:3‑4,10‑12)
• Exactly the same words he had previously said to Ahab. Kindness and amiability in the world’s opinion, the desire to please it, alliance with it in order to promote common interests, are all dreadful obstacles to a faithful walk. (“Jehoram and the War Against Moab: 2 Kings 3” by H.L. Rossier)
• Jehoshaphat was what one would call a broadminded, tolerant person. The division of Israel to him was an accomplished fact, something he no longer felt, if he had ever felt it. He would neither strike out against the opinions nor the religion of Jehoram. He willingly associated himself with him under cloak of being useful to him, but he forgot one very important thing: that he was joining himself together with a man who was dishonoring God, outraging His holiness, and taking no account of His Word. Naturally the world highly approves of such an alliance and promotes such believers as examples for those who separate themselves from evil to be true witnesses of Christ. (“Jehoram and the War Against Moab: 2 Kings 3” by H.L. Rossier)
• He perhaps cherished the illusion that since Jehoram had taken away the column of Baal, an alliance with him would be permissible. In fact, this was worse than the first, for it led to an alliance with Edom, something that poor Jehoshaphat would hardly have suspected. (“Jehoram and the War Against Moab: 2 Kings 3” by H.L. Rossier)
