SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:18
Anduvo en el camino de los reyes de Israel, como hizo la casa de Acab; porque una hija de Acab fue su mujer; e hizo lo malo en ojos del SEÑOR.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 8:18
Verse 18. The daughter of Ahab was his wife] This was the infamous Athaliah; and through this marriage Jehoshaphat and Ahab were confederates; and this friendship was continued after Ahab's death.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. And he walked in the way of the king’s of Israel, as did the house of Ahab , etc.] Imitated them in idolatry: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife ; whose name was Athaliah, ( Kings 8:26), and by her he was drawn into idolatrous practices; of such bad consequence are marriages with idolaters; it is very much that so good a king as Jehoshaphat his father was should contract such an affinity; he suffered for it in more instances than one: and he did evil in the sight of the Lord ; was guilty of idolatry, than which nothing was more displeasing to the Lord; for he made high places, and compelled his subjects to commit idolatry, ( 2 Chronicles 21:11).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 16-24 - A general idea is given of Jehoram's badness. His father, no doubt, ha him taught the true knowledge of the Lord, but did ill to marry him to the daughter of Ahab; no good could come of union with an idolatrou family.
