In the days of Jehoram Edom revolted against the rule of Judah and set up a king over themselves.

Then Jehoram crossed over [the Jordan River] with his commanders and all his chariots, and rose up by night and struck down the Edomites who were surrounding him and the commanders of the chariots.

After Amaziah came back from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought the gods of the sons of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, bowed before them, and burned incense to them.

For the Edomites had come again and attacked Judah and led away captives.
