^8 (A)In his days Edom revolted against Judah’s authority, and made a king over themselves.

¹⁰ Thus Edom has been in revolt against Judah’s authority to this day. At that time Libnah revolted against his rule, because he had forsaken the Lord God of his fathers.

²² Now when they began to sing and to praise, ^(A)the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated. ²³ For the people of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and destroy them. And when they ^[a]had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, ^(B)they helped to destroy one another.

²⁰ In his days ^(A)Edom revolted against Judah’s authority, ^(B)and made a king over themselves. ²¹ So ^[a]Joram went to Zair, and all his chariots with him. Then he rose by night and attacked the Edomites who had surrounded him and the captains of the chariots; and the troops fled to their tents. ²² Thus Edom has been in revolt against Judah’s authority to this day. ^(C)And Libnah revolted at that time.

⁹ So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom, and they marched on that roundabout route seven days; and there was no water for the army, nor for the animals that followed them.

^47 (A)There was then no king in Edom, only a deputy of the king.
