New Century Version
2 Kings 8:18-20
New Century Version
18 He followed the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the family of Ahab had done, because he married Ahab’s daughter. Jehoram did what the Lord said was wrong. 19 But the Lord would not destroy Judah because of his servant David. The Lord had promised that one of David’s descendants would always rule.
20 In Jehoram’s time Edom broke away from Judah’s rule and chose their own king.

20 In the time of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against Judah and set up its own king.(D)
