2 Kings 8:22 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 8:22

Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day,
&c.] Joram not pursuing the enemy, and taking the advantage of the victory, but returning to his own land, the reason of which follows:

then Libnah revolted at the same time;
a considerable city in his own kingdom, a Levitical one; this revolt was occasioned, perhaps, by his idolatrous practices, and which he compelled his subjects to; of this city, see ( Joshua 10:29 ) ( 21:13 ) .
