20In his time, Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah, and took a king for themselves.
21Then Joram went over to Zair, with all his war-carriages; ... made an attack by night on the Edomites, whose forces were all round him, ... the captains of the war-carriages; and the people went in flight to their tents.
22So Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah to this day. And at the same time, Libnah made itself free.
23Now the rest of the acts of Joram, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
24And Joram went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David: and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.
25In the twelfth year that Joram, the son of Ahab, was king of Israel, Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, became king;
26Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri, king of Israel.
