Context of 2 Kings 8:23

21Jehoram took all his chariots to attack Zair. The Edomites and their chariot commanders surrounded him, but he got up at night, broke through their lines, and his troops fled home. 22So Edom rebelled against Judah’s rule and is still independent today. At that time Libnah also rebelled. Isn’t everything else about Jehoram—everything he did—written in the official records of the kings of Judah? 24Jehoram lay down in death with his ancestors and was buried with them in the City of David. His son Ahaziah succeeded him as king. 25Joram (Ahab’s son) was in his twelfth year as king of Israel when Jehoram’s son Ahaziah became king of Judah.
