  • 2 Chr 21:5-9 : 5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 6 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab had done, for he had Ahab's daughter as his wife; and he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD. 7 However, the LORD would not destroy the house of David because of the covenant He had made with David, and as He promised to give a lamp to him and to his sons forever. 8 In his days, the Edomites revolted from under Judah's rule and set up a king of their own. 9 Then Jehoram went out with his leaders and all his chariots with him; he rose by night and struck the Edomites who had surrounded him and the captains of the chariots. 10 Thus Edom has been in revolt against Judah's authority to this day. At the same time, Libnah also revolted from under his rule because he had abandoned the LORD, the God of his fathers.
