2 Kings 8:17-22

17 He was ^athirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 18 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for ^bthe daughter of Ahab became his wife; and he did evil in the sight of the Lord. 19 However, the Lord was not willing to destroy Judah, for the sake of David His servant, ^csince He had ^{▼▼ Lit said}promised him to give a ^{▼▼ I.e. descendant on the throne}lamp to him through his sons always.

20 In his days ^fEdom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves. 21 Then Joram crossed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him. And he arose by night and struck the Edomites who had surrounded him and the captains of the chariots; ^gbut his ^{▼▼ Lit the people}army fled to their tents. 22 ⁱSo Edom revolted ^{▼▼ Lit from under the hand of}against Judah to this day. Then ^kLibnah revolted at the same time.
