Jehoram becomes king. He walks in the ways of Ahab, king of Israel, because his wife is Ahab's daughter. He receives a letter from Elijah warning him of what was coming. The Philistines attack and carry off his wives and sons but his youngest son is left. He reigns only eight years and he dies of an incurable bowel disease. Jehoahaz, Ahaziah, takes over as king. He also walks in the ways of Ahab because his mother is Ahab's daughter. He reigns only one year. He is killed by Jehu who was sent by God to stop the house of Ahab. When his mother, Ahab's daughter, hears about her son's death she kills all of her son's sons. However, Ahaziah's sister, Jehoshabeath, saves one son, Joash.
Jesus reveals a little more about the upcoming plans for when he departs. When Jesus goes back to the Father he will send the Holy Spirit. The Spirit will convict the world. The Spirit will also guide the apostles into all truth and will be their guide. So their sorrow will give way to joy.
