2 Kings 8:16-24

16Now in the fifth year of 1Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, when Jehoshaphat was the king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah became king. 17He was 2thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem. 18He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for 3Ahab’s daughter was his wife; and he did evil in the sight of the Lord. 19However, the Lord did not want to destroy Judah, for the sake of David His servant, 4since He had 5promised him to give him a 6lamp through his sons always.

20In his days 7Edom broke away from the 8rule of Judah, and appointed a king over themselves. 21Then Joram crossed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him. And he got up at night and struck the Edomites who had surrounded him and the captains of the chariots; 9but 10his army fled to their tents. 2211So Edom has broken away from 12Judah to this day. Then 13Libnah broke away at the same time. 23Now the rest of the acts of Joram and everything that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 24So Joram 14lay down with his fathers and 15was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and his son 16Ahaziah became king in his place.
