The historical context is crucial here, as it follows the death of Ahab and the transition of power. The time is marked by political instability and religious apostasy, with Israel often turning away from the worship of Yahweh.<p><b>King Jehoram</b><br>Jehoram, also known as Joram, was the ninth king of Israel. He reigned during a tumultuous period marked by the influence of his parents, Ahab and Jezebel, who promoted Baal worship. Jehoram attempted to distance himself from some of their practices, removing the sacred pillar of Baal, yet he did not fully return to the worship of Yahweh. His reign is characterized by military campaigns and alliances, often reflecting the political and religious struggles of the time.<p><b>set out from Samaria</b><br>Samaria was the capital of the northern kingdom of Israel, established by King Omri. It was a significant city both politically and religiously, often associated with idolatry due to the influence of Ahab and Jezebel. The mention of Samaria highlights the centrality of this city in Israel's political and military strategies. Archaeological findings in Samaria reveal its importance and the wealth of the Omride dynasty.<p><b>and mobilized all Israel</b><br>Mobilizing all Israel indicates a call to arms for a united military effort. This reflects the common practice of kings summoning their subjects for war, often in response to external threats or to assert dominance. The unity implied here is significant, as the northern kingdom was often fragmented by internal divisions and external pressures. This mobilization suggests a momentary cohesion under Jehoram's leadership, likely driven by the need to address a pressing military challenge.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/k/king_jehoram.htm">King Jehoram</a></b><br>The son of Ahab and Jezebel, Jehoram was the king of Israel.
