2 Kings 8:19-22
New International Version
2 Kings 8:19-22
New International Version
19 Nevertheless, for the sake of his servant David, the Lord was not willing to destroy(A) Judah. He had promised to maintain a lamp(B) for David and his descendants forever.
20 In the time of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against Judah and set up its own king.(C) 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(D) against Judah. Libnah(E) revolted at the same time.
