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.
And of Josaphat: That is, Josaphat being yet alive, who sometime before his death made his son Joram king, as David had done before by his own son Solomon.
[AD 1781] Richard Challoner on 2 Kings 8:16
