Context of 2 Chronicles 21:10

8In his days Edom broke away from the rule of Judah, and appointed a king over themselves. 9Then Jehoram crossed over with his commanders and all his chariots with him. And he got up at night and struck and killed the Edomites who were surrounding him, and the commanders of the chariots. So Edom revolted against Judah to this day.
