2 Kings 8:20-29

20 In Jehoram's time Edom broke away from Judah's rule and chose their own king.
21 So Jehoram and all his chariots went to Zair. The Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders. Jehoram got up and attacked the Edomites at night, but his army ran away to their tents.
22 From then until now the country of Edom has fought against the rule of Judah. At the same time Libnah also broke away from Judah's rule.
23 The other acts of Jehoram and all the things he did are written in the book of the history of the kings of Judah.
24 Jehoram died and was buried with his ancestors in Jerusalem, and Jehoram's son Ahaziah ruled in his place.
25 Ahaziah son of Jehoram became king of Judah during the twelfth year Joram son of Ahab was king of Israel.
26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he ruled one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri king of Israel.
27 Ahaziah followed the ways of Ahab's family. He did what the Lord said was wrong, as Ahab's family had done, because he was a son-in-law to Ahab.
28 Ahaziah went with Joram son of Ahab to Ramoth in Gilead, where they fought against Hazael king of Aram. The Arameans wounded Joram.
29 So King Joram returned to Jezreel to heal from the wound he had received from the Arameans at Ramoth when he fought Hazael king of Aram. Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to visit Joram son of Ahab at Jezreel, because he had been wounded.
