Context — Edom and Libnah Rebel
20In the days of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against the hand of Judah and appointed their own king.
21So Jehoram crossed over to Zair with all his chariots. When the Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, he rose up and attacked by night. His troops, however, fled to their homes.
22So to this day Edom has been in rebellion against the hand of Judah. Likewise, Libnah rebelled at the same time.
23As for the rest of the acts of Jehoram, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 24And Jehoram rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David. And his son Ahaziah reigned in his place.Cross References

2 Kings 8:22 Summary
This verse, 2 Kings 8:22, tells us that the country of Edom rebelled against the kingdom of Judah and has been in rebellion ever since. This is an example of how our actions can have long-lasting consequences, as seen in other Bible stories like the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15:11-32. The city of Libnah also rebelled against Judah at the same time, showing how one person's or group's actions can influence others, much like the influence of good friends in Proverbs 27:17. We can learn from these examples to always try to do what is right and follow God's plan for our lives, as taught in Jeremiah 29:11.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the historical context of Edom's rebellion against Judah in 2 Kings 8:22?
The rebellion occurred during the reign of King Jehoram, as stated in 2 Kings 8:20, and is also mentioned in 2 Chronicles 21:8-10, which provides additional details about the event.
Why did Libnah rebel against Judah at the same time as Edom?
The Bible does not provide a specific reason for Libnah's rebellion in 2 Kings 8:22, but it can be inferred that the city may have been influenced by Edom's actions, as seen in other instances of cities rebelling against their rulers, such as in 2 Kings 8:20-21.
What is the significance of the phrase 'to this day' in 2 Kings 8:22?
The phrase 'to this day' indicates that the rebellion of Edom against Judah had a lasting impact, and the effects of the rebellion were still being felt at the time the book of 2 Kings was written, much like the lasting impact of other historical events, such as the conquests mentioned in Joshua 12:1-6.
How does this verse relate to the overall theme of 2 Kings?
This verse contributes to the theme of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, highlighting the consequences of their actions, as seen in other passages like 2 Kings 17:7-23, which describes the fall of Israel, and 2 Kings 25:1-21, which describes the fall of Judah.
Reflection Questions
- What can we learn from the example of Edom's rebellion about the dangers of disobedience and the importance of submitting to God's authority, as taught in Romans 13:1-2?
- How can we, like the kingdoms of old, experience the blessings of obedience and the consequences of disobedience, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:1-14 and Deuteronomy 28:15-68?
- What role does pride and self-reliance play in our own lives, and how can we humble ourselves before God, as encouraged in 1 Peter 5:6-7?
- In what ways can we, as believers, be a positive influence on those around us, rather than rebelling against God's plan, as seen in Matthew 5:13-16?
Gill's Exposition on 2 Kings 8:22
Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day,.... Joram not pursuing the enemy, and taking the advantage of the victory, but returning to his own land, the reason of which follows:
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Kings 8:22
Yet the LORD would not destroy Judah for David his servant's sake, as he promised him to give him alway a light, and to his children. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Kings 8:22
Edom revolted; for though Joram had given them a defeat, yet it may seem to have been no great slaughter, but only a putting them to flight; and therefore they might easily rally again. And Joram could not pursue the victory, because he was recalled by the revolt of his own subjects, which had taken the occasion of his absence, and probably feared that others would follow their example, if they had the like occasion. Libnah; a considerable city in Judah, belonging to the priests, 21:13. Why Libnah revolted, see ,11. It is probable they returned to their obedience, because those words, unto this day, which are added to the former clause, are omitted here.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Kings 8:22
2 Kings 8:22 Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.Ver. 22. Then Libna revolted at the same time.] So that Joram taken off thereby, could not prosecute his victory over the Edmonites. Libna was a city of Judah, and given to the priests. These not enduring the late innovations in religion, and other abominations committed by Joram, cast off their obedience, "because he had forsaken the Lord God of his fathers."
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Kings 8:22
(22) Yet.—Rather, and (i.e., so). Unto this day.—Down to the time of composition of the original account from which this epitome is extracted. This notice is borne out by the Assyrian monuments. Esarhaddon and Assurbanipal mention Qa’us-gabrî king of Udumu (Edom), along with Manasseh of Judah, among their tributaries. Esarhaddon also states that his father Sennacherib had reduced “Adumû, a fortified city of Arabia.” Then Libnah revolted at the same time.—The point of the statement is that the success of Edom encouraged Libnah to throw off the Judæan supremacy. For the locality see Joshua 10:29 seq., Joshua 15:42; Joshua 21:13. Keil thinks the revolt of Libnah coincided with (it was probably supported by) the Philistine invasion recorded in 2 Chronicles 21:16, and continued until Uzziah reduced the Philistines (2 Chronicles 26:6 seq.). From the time of Hezekiah, Libnah again belonged to Judah (2 Kings 19:8; 2 Kings 23:31; 2 Kings 24:18).
Cambridge Bible on 2 Kings 8:22
22. Yet [R.V. so] Edom revolted] The conjunction is changed to conform to the rendering in 2 Chronicles 21. As the army of Joram was defeated, the Edomites secured their independence, and that continued till the date of the record from which the compiler of the Kings drew his information. So he copies faithfully ‘unto this day’. Then Libnah revolted] R.V. did Libnah revolt. The change is in conformity with Chronicles, because of the similarity of the Hebrew. Libnah was situate in the lowland between the mountains of Judah and the Mediterranean coast. It was a strong city with a king when the Israelites took it under Joshua (Joshua 10:29-39). It is mentioned afterwards (2 Kings 19:8) as besieged by Sennacherib. The narrative of the Chronicler adds as the reason of the revolt ‘because he [Joram] had forsaken the Lord the God of his fathers’.
The revolt of Libnah does not seem to be connected in any way with that of Edom. The time was opportune and both Edomites and Libnites availed themselves of it.
Barnes' Notes on 2 Kings 8:22
Libnah revolted - Libnah being toward the southwest of Palestine Joshua 15:42, its revolt cannot well have had any direct connection with that of Edom.
Whedon's Commentary on 2 Kings 8:22
22. Edom revolted… unto this day — Some sixty years later the Edomites were again subdued by Amaziah king of Judah, (chap. 2 Kings 14:7,) so that this record would seem to have been made before the reign of Amaziah.
