⁸ In his days Edom revolted against the rule of Judah and set up a king of their own.^(A)

¹⁰ So Edom has been in revolt against the rule of Judah to this day. At that time Libnah also revolted against his rule because he had forsaken the Lord, the God of his ancestors.

²² As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set an ambush against the Ammonites, Moab, and Mount Seir who had come against Judah, so that they were routed.^{(A) 23} For the Ammonites and Moab attacked the inhabitants of Mount Seir, destroying them utterly, and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they all helped to destroy one another.^(B)

²⁰ In his days Edom revolted against the rule of Judah and set up a king of their own.^{(A) 21} Then Joram crossed over to Zair with all his chariots. He set out by night and attacked the Edomites and their chariot commanders who had surrounded him,^[a] but his army fled home.^{(B) 22} So Edom has been in revolt against the rule of Judah to this day. Libnah also revolted at the same time.^(C)
