2 Kings 8:17–24

¹⁷He was ^sthirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. ¹⁸And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for ^tthe daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the sight of the Lord. ¹⁹Yet the Lord would not destroy Judah, for the sake of his servant David, ^uas He promised him to give a lamp to him and his sons forever.

²⁰In his days ^vEdom revolted against Judah’s authority, ^wand made a king over themselves. ²¹So ³Joram went to Zair, and all his chariots with him. Then he rose by night and attacked the Edomites who had surrounded him and the captains of the chariots; and the troops fled to their tents. ²²Thus Edom has been in revolt against Judah’s authority to this day. ^xAnd Libnah revolted at that time.

²³Now 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? ²⁴So Joram ⁴rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David. Then ^yAhaziah ⁵his son reigned in his place.
