Context of 2 Kings 8:24

22So Edom rebelled against Judah’s rule and is still independent today. At that time Libnah also rebelled. 23Isn’t everything else about Jehoram—everything he did—written in the official records of the kings of Judah? Jehoram 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. 26Ahaziah was 22 years old when he began to rule, and he ruled for one year in Jerusalem. His mother was Athaliah, the granddaughter of King Omri of Israel.
