2 Kings 8:19-22
King James Version
19 Yet the Lord would not destroy Judah for David his servant's sake, as he promised him to give him alway a light, and to his children.
20 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
21 So Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him: and he rose by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots: and the people fled into their tents.
22 Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.

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.
