2 Chronicles 21:5-11

Jehoram Succeeds Jehoshaphat in Judah

⁵Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem. ⁶He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for Ahab’s daughter was his wife; and he did evil in the sight of the Lord. ⁷Yet the Lord was not willing to destroy the house of David because of the covenant which He had made with David, and because He had promised to give a lamp to him and his sons forever.

Revolt against Judah

⁸In his days Edom broke away from the rule of Judah, and appointed a king over themselves. ⁹Then Jehoram crossed over with his commanders and all his chariots with him. And he got up at night and struck and killed the Edomites who were surrounding him, and the commanders of the chariots. ¹⁰So Edom revolted against Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time against his rule because he had abandoned the Lord God of his fathers. ¹¹Furthermore, he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to be unfaithful, and led Judah astray.
