II Kings 08
The Reign of Joram
16 In the fifth year of Joram son of Ahab king of Israel, while Jehoshaphat was still reigning in Judah, Joram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.
17 He was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
18 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the kings of the house of Ahab, for he had Ahab's daughter as his wife, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.
19 However, the Lord would not destroy Judah for the sake of his servant David, as he had promised him to give him a lamp for his sons forever.
20 In his days the Edomites rebelled against the rule of Judah, and they set up a king over themselves.
21 So Joram passed over to Zair, and all the chariots with him. He rose up by night and struck down the Edomites who were around him, and the captains of the chariots; and the people went to their tents.
22 Nevertheless the Edomites rebelled against the rule of Judah to this day; and Libnah also rebelled at that 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 Judah?
24 And Jehoram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
