2 Chronicles 21:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ But the Lord would not destroy David’s ·family [^Lhouse] because of the ·agreement [covenant; treaty] he had made with David. He had promised ·that one of David’s descendants would always rule [^Lto give a lamp to David and his descendants/sons forever; ^Chere a lamp symbolizes a dynasty].

⁸ In Jehoram’s time, Edom ·broke away from [revolted/rebelled against] Judah’s ·rule [reign] and ·chose [set up] their own king. ⁹ So Jehoram went to Edom with all his ·commanders [officers] and chariots. The Edomites surrounded him and his chariot ·commanders [officers], but Jehoram got up and attacked the Edomites at night [^Cthe implication is that Jehoram is victorious, but the next verse suggests otherwise; see 2 Kin. 8:21].
