2 Kings8:16
16 ¶ And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign .
Iehoram was first made King or Vice-Roy by his Father divers Years before this time, to wit, at his expedition to Ramoth-Gilead, as was noted before: which Dominion of his ended at his Fathers return. But now Iehoshaphat, being not far from his Death, and having divers Sons, and fearing some competition and dissention among them, makes Iehoram King the second time, as David did Solomon upon the like occasion, 1 Chron. 29. 22. which is the thing here related. But of this see more in the Notes on 2 King. 1. 17. and 3. 1.
