2 Kings 8:20 in Context — 2 Kings 8
18 Il marcha dans la voie des rois d’Israël, comme avait fait la maison d’Achab, car il avait pour femme une fille d’Achab, et il fit ce qui est mal aux yeux de l’Éternel.
19 Mais l’Éternel ne voulut point détruire Juda, à cause de David, son serviteur, selon la promesse qu’il lui avait faite de lui donner toujours une lampe parmi ses fils.
20 De son temps, Édom se révolta contre l’autorité de Juda, et se donna un roi.
21 Joram passa à Tsaïr, avec tous ses chars; s’étant levé de nuit, il battit les Édomites, qui l’entouraient et les chefs des chars, et le peuple s’enfuit dans ses tentes.
22 La rébellion d’Édom contre l’autorité de Juda a duré jusqu’à ce jour. Libna se révolta aussi dans le même temps.
