Chapter 3: The battle with Moav

  1. The reign of Yehoram:
  • His reign: Yehoram, the son of Achav, reigned over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of reign of Yehoshafat the king of Yehuda.
  • Years of reign: He reigned for a total of twelve years.
  • His evil ways: Yehoram performed evil in the eyes of Hashem, however, not like his father and mother, as he removed the monument of the Baal that his father had made. However, he did cling to the sins of Yeravam the son of Nevat [by having the Jewish people bow to the golden calves due to fear of them returning to Jerusalem and the kingdom of Yehuda[1]].

 

  1. The king of Moav and his rebellion against Israel:
  • His tribute to the king of Israel: Mesha, the king of Moav, was a sheepman. He would send to the king of Israel one hundred thousand lambs and one hundred thousand rams with their wool.
  • His rebellion: However, when Achav passed away, the king of Moav rebelled against the king of Israel.
