2Ch 21:8 | MHM | STEP | v. 8-10 : Because Jehoram turned away from God, his kingdom suffered. The Edomites, who had been under Judah’s control, rebelled. Jehoram tried to fight them but failed. Even the city of Libnah in Judah rebelled against him because he had forsaken the Lord (2 Chronicles 21:8-10; Joshua 12:15 ). When a king turns away from God, the people may also turn away from him.
