2 Reis 8:20-22

20 Nos seus dias os edomitas se rebelaram contra o domínio de Judá, e constituiram um rei para si.

21 Pelo que Jeorão passou a Zair, com todos os seus carros; e ele se levantou de noite, com os chefes dos carros, e feriu os edomitas que o haviam cercado; mas o povo fugiu para as suas tendas.

22 Assim os edomitas ficaram rebelados contra o domínio de Judá até o dia de hoje. Também Libna se rebelou nesse mesmo tempo.
