19Yet the Lord would not destroy Iudah, for Dauid his seruants sake, as hee promised to giue to him alway a light, and to his children. 20¶ In his dayes Edom reuolted from vnder the hand of Iudah, and made a king ouer themselues. 21So Ioram went ouer to Zair, and all the charets with him, and hee rose by night, and smote the Edomites, which compassed him about: and the captaines of the charets, and the people fled into their tents. 22Yet Edom reuolted from vnder the hand of Iudah vnto this day. Then Libnah reuolted at the same time. 23And the rest of the actes of Ioram, and all that hee did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the kings of Iudah?
