2 Kings 8

¹⁸ And Jehoram walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done. For he married a daughter of Ahab and did evil in the sight of the LORD.

¹⁹ Yet for the sake of His servant David, the LORD was unwilling to destroy Judah, since He had promised to maintain a lamp for David and his descendants forever.

²⁰ In the days of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against the hand of Judah and appointed their own king.

²¹ So Jehoram crossed over to Zair with all his chariots. When the Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, he rose up and attacked by night. His troops, however, fled to their homes.

²² So to this day Edom has been in rebellion against the hand of Judah. Likewise, Libnah rebelled at the same time.
