Invite God to join you in your reading and ask Him for wisdom.
If there is anything in your spirit hindering you, confess it now.
It is okay, He knows it anyway. Bring it to Him and ask Him for help, remember you are already forgiven, as Him to help you as you embrace that truth and live it out.

a prayer:
Thank You for meeting me, LORD.
I welcome you into this place.

Thank you, Omnipotent God for insight.

History - So, now I know where it is.

• Begin by asking God to join you in building into your heart what He would want you to build.
• Read the passage completely
• Read the passage again. With the second reading pause after each phrase/sentence and think about the phrase/sentence. Take the phrase/sentence in slowly.
• You might want to reread the phrase/sentence until the meaning, or importance of the phrase/sentence really sinks in.
• After reading each phrase/sentence at least once, sometimes more. Go back and reread the entire passage.
• Do you find that the passage builds phrase/sentence upon phrase/sentence in importance? Why? or Why not?
• What phrase/sentence do you find most important in the passage?
• Thank God for this phrase/sentence and commit it to memory today.
• Don't forget to thank God for being here today with you.

16. Jehoram son of King Jehoshaphat of Judah began to rule over Judah in the fifth year of the reign of Joram son of Ahab, king of Israel.
17. Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years.
18. But Jehoram followed the example of the kings of Israel and was as wicked as King Ahab, for he had married one of Ahab's daughters. So Jehoram did what was evil in the LORD'S sight.
19. But the LORD did not want to destroy Judah, for he had made a covenant with David and promised that his descendants would continue to rule, shining like a lamp forever.

20. During Jehoram's reign, the Edomites revolted against Judah and crowned their own king. 
21. So Jehoram went with all his chariots to attack the town of Zair. The Edomites surrounded him  and his chariot commanders, but he went out at night and attacked them under cover of darkness. But Jehoram's army deserted him and fled to their homes.
22. So Edom has been independent from Judah to this day. The town of Libnah also revolted about that same time. 

23. The rest of the events in Jehoram's reign and everything he did are recorded in the Book of the History of the Kings of Judah.
24. When Jehoram died, he was buried with his ancestors in the City of David. Then his son Ahaziah became the next king.
2 Kings 8:16-24 NLT
