  • 2 Kgs 8:17-22 : 17 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eight years. 18 He walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for he had married Ahab's daughter. He did what was evil in the eyes of the LORD. 19 Yet the LORD was not willing to destroy Judah for the sake of His servant David, because of the promise He had made to give a lamp to David and his descendants forever. 20 In Jehoram's time, Edom rebelled against Judah's control and set up their own king. 21 So Joram went to Zair with all his chariots. During the night, he attacked the Edomites who had surrounded him and their chariot commanders, but his troops fled to their homes. 22 So Edom has been in rebellion against Judah to this day. At the same time, Libnah also rebelled.
