Context of 2 Kings 8:23

21So Jehoram [king of Judah] went over to Zair [in Edom] with all his chariots. He set out by night and struck down the Edomites who had surrounded him and the captains of his chariots; but the people [of his army] fled to their tents. 22So Edom revolted against Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time. The rest of the acts of Jehoram and everything that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 24Jehoram slept with his fathers [in death] and was buried with them in the City of David. Ahaziah his son became king in his place. 25In the twelfth year of Joram (Jehoram) the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.
