2 Kings 8:19-21

International Standard Version

¹⁹ But the Lord remained unwilling to destroy Judah for the sake of his servant David, since he had promised to keep^[a] David’s lamp burning brightly through his descendants every day.

²⁰ During Jehoram’s lifetime, Edom rebelled from Judah’s hegemony and appointed a king to rule over themselves. ²¹ Then Joram crossed over to Zair, along with all of his chariots. At night he attacked the Edomites who had surrounded him and the commanders of his chariots, but the army^[b] ran away to their tents.
