2 Kings 8:20-22
Evangelical Heritage Version
20 During his days, Edom broke away from the control of Judah and set a king over themselves. 21 So Joram crossed over to Zair with all his chariots. At night he rose up and attacked the Edomites who had surrounded him and his chariot commanders, but his army fled to their tents.[a] 22 So Edom has been in revolt against Judah to this day. Libnah also rebelled at the same time.

- 2 Kings 8:21 The Hebrew reads the people fled to their tents, which here seems to refer to their homes. Athough the king of Judah broke the siege, the Judean army ran for home.

20 In the time of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against Judah and set up its own king.(A) 21 So Jehoram[a] went to Zair with all his chariots. The Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, but he rose up and broke through by night; his army, however, fled back home. 22 To this day Edom has been in rebellion(B) against Judah.
