Context of 2 Kings 8:24

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. When Jehoram died, he was buried with his ancestors in the City of David. Then his son Ahaziah became the next king. 25Ahaziah son of Jehoram began to rule over Judah in the twelfth year of the reign of Joram son of Ahab, king of Israel. 26Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother was Athaliah, a granddaughter of King Omri of Israel.
