2 Kings 8:21-24

21So Jehoram went with all his chariots to attack the town of Zair. The Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, but he went out at night and attacked them under cover of darkness. But Jehoram’s army deserted him and fled to their homes.

22So Edom has been independent from Judah to this day. The town of Libnah also revolted about that same time.

23The rest of the events in Jehoram’s reign and everything he did are recorded in The Book of the History of the Kings of Judah.

24When Jehoram died, he was buried with his ancestors in the City of David. Then his son Ahaziah became the next king.
