Context of 2 Kings 8:23

21So Jehoram crossed over to Zair with all his chariots. Then at night he set out to attack the Edomites who had surrounded him and the chariot commanders, but his troops fled to their tents. 22So Edom is still in rebellion against Judah’s control today. Libnah also rebelled at that time. The rest of the events of Jehoram’s reign, along with all his accomplishments, are written in the Historical Record of Judah’s Kings. 24Jehoram rested with his ancestors and was buried with his ancestors in the city of David, and his son Ahaziah became king in his place. 25In the twelfth year of Israel’s King Joram son of Ahab, Ahaziah son of Jehoram became king of Judah.
