Iste joram , michea precipitio occiso, aquam in deserto dante heliseo , cum , iuuante josaphat et rege edom, regem moabitarum ad occisionem filii compulisset famemque samarie cum gladio syrorum nuntiantibus leprosis euasisset, in obsidione ramoth uulneratus, postea a jehu sagittatus obiit.

This Jehoram (after Micaiah was killed by a fall and water was given to Elisha in the desert), with the help of Josaphat and the king of Edom, forced the king of Moab to kill his son. And during the Samarian famine, he escaped the Syrian sword thanks to the warning of the lepers. He was wounded at the siege of Ramoth, and later he was killed by Jehu's arrow.
