2 Chronicles

2 Chronicles 21:8–10

⁸In the days of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against the hand of Judah and appointed their own king. ⁹So Jehoram crossed into Edom with his officers and all his chariots. When the Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, he rose up and attacked^b by night.

¹⁰So to this day Edom has been in rebellion against the hand of Judah. Likewise, Libnah rebelled against his hand at the same time, because Jehoram had forsaken the LORD, the God of his fathers.
