Context of 2 Kings 8:23

21So King Jehoram travelled to Zair with all his chariots. The Edomite army came and they were all around him. But that night, Jehoram and his officers attacked the Edomites and they escaped. The Israelite army ran away to go back home. 22Even today, Edom's people do not obey the rulers of Judah. The people of Libnah city also turned against Judah at the same time. The other things that happened while Jehoram was king are written in a book. The book is called ‘The history of Judah's kings’. It tells about all the things that Jehoram did. 24Jehoram died and they buried him with his ancestors in the City of David. His son Ahaziah became king after him. 25When Ahab's son Joram had been king of Israel for 12 years, Jehoram's son Ahaziah started to rule Judah as king.
