2 Kings 8:17-22
17He was 1thirty-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 2Ahab’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, 3since He had 4promised him to give him a 5lamp through his sons always.
20In his days 6Edom broke away from the 7rule 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; 8but 9his army fled to their tents. 2210So Edom has broken away from 11Judah to this day. Then 12Libnah broke away at the same time.
