2 Kings 8:19-21

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁹ But the Lord would not destroy Judah because of the promise to his servant David. He had promised David that someone from his family would always be king.

²⁰ In Jehoram’s time Edom broke away from Judah’s rule. The people of Edom chose a king for themselves.

²¹ Then Jehoram and all his chariots went to Zair. The Edomite army surrounded them, but Jehoram and his officers attacked them and escaped. Jehoram’s soldiers all ran away and went home.
