2 Chronicles 21:7-9

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁷ but because of the covenant the Lord had made with David, He was unwilling to destroy the house of David since the Lord had promised^(A) to give a lamp^(B) to David and to his sons forever.

⁸ During Jehoram’s reign, Edom rebelled against Judah’s domination and appointed their own king. ⁹ So Jehoram crossed into Edom with his commanders and all his chariots. Then at night he set out to attack the Edomites who had surrounded him and the chariot commanders.
