2 Kings 8:17-24

17 He was a thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 18 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab had done, for b the daughter of Ahab was his wife. And he did what was evil in the sight of the  Lord. 19 Yet the  Lord was not willing to destroy Judah, for the sake of David his servant, c since he promised to give d a lamp to him and to his sons forever.

20 In his days Edom revolted from the rule of Judah and set up e a king of their own. 21 Then Joram ▼
▼  Joram is an alternate spelling of Jehoram (the son of Jehoshaphat) as in verse 16; also verses 23, 24
 passed over to Zair with all his chariots and rose by night, and he and his chariot commanders struck the Edomites who had surrounded him, but his army g fled home. 22  h So Edom revolted from the rule of Judah to this day. Then i Libnah revolted at the same time. 23 Now the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 24 So Joram slept with his fathers and was buried j with his fathers in the city of David, and k Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
