2 Kings 8:19-24 Amplified Bible (AMP)

19. Yet, for David His servant's sake, the Lord would not destroy Judah, for He promised to give him and his sons a lamp forever.

20. In his days, Edom revolted from the rule of Judah and set up a king over themselves.

21. So Jehoram [of Judah] went over to Zair with all his chariots. He and his chariot commanders rose up by night and slew the Edomites who had surrounded them; and [escaping] his army fled home.

22. So Edom revolted from the rule of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.

23. The rest of the acts of Jehoram, and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

24. Jehoram slept with his fathers and was buried with [them] in the City of David. Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
