8-10. the Edomites revolted —That nation had been made dependent by David, and down to the time of Jehoshaphat was governed by a tributary ruler ( 1 Kings 22:47 ; 2 Kings 3:9 ). But that king having been slain in an insurrection at home, his successor thought to ingratiate himself with his new subjects by raising the flag of independence [JOSEPHUS]. The attempt was defeated in the first instance by Jehoram, who possessed all the military establishments of his father; but being renewed unexpectedly, the Edomites succeeded in completely emancipating their country from the yoke of Judah ( 2 Kings 3:9- : ). Libnah, which lay on the southern frontier and towards Edom, followed the example of that country. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-12" class="com-number"
