17Thirty-two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
18He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab as wife; and he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh.
19However Yahweh would not destroy Judah, for David his servant`s sake, as he promised him to give to him a lamp for his children always.
20In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
21Then Joram passed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.
22So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then did Libnah revolt at the same time.
23The rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, aren`t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
