2 Kings 8:17-22

17Jehoram wasH1961 thirty-twoH7970H8147 years oldH1121H8141 when he became kingH4427, and he reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 eightH8083 yearsH8141.

18And Jehoram walkedH1980 in the waysH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, just asH834 the houseH1004 of AhabH256 had doneH6213. ForH3588 he marriedH802 a daughterH1323 of AhabH256 and didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.

19Yet for the sakeH4616 of His servantH5650 DavidH1732, the LORDH3068 was unwillingH3808H14 to destroyH7843 JudahH3063, sinceH834 He had promisedH559 to maintainH5414 a lampH5216 for David and his descendantsH1121 foreverH3605H3117.

20In the daysH3117 of Jehoram,1 EdomH123 rebelledH6586 againstH8478 the handH3027 of JudahH3063 and appointedH4427 their ownH5921 kingH4428. 21So JehoramH31412 crossed overH5674 to ZairH6811 withH5973H1961 allH3605 his chariotsH7393. When the EdomitesH123 surroundedH5437 himH413 andH853 his chariotH7393 commandersH8269, heH1931 rose upH6965 and attackedH5221 by nightH3915. His troops, howeverH5971, fledH5127 to their homesH168.

22So toH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117 EdomH123 has been in rebellionH6586 againstH8478 the hand ofH3027 JudahH3063. LikewiseH227, LibnahH3841 rebelledH6586 at the sameH1931 timeH6256.
