Contextual Overview

16 In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to rule. 17 He was thirty-two years old when he became king. He ruled eight years in Jerusalem. 18 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as those of Ahab's house had done. Ahab's daughter became his wife. He did what was sinful in the eyes of the Lord. 19 But the Lord was not willing to destroy Judah, because of His servant David. The Lord had promised to give David one to rule through his sons always. 20 In his days Edom turned against the rule of Judah and chose a king of their own. 21 Then Joram crossed over to Zair, with all his war-wagons. He and his war-wagon captains got up during the night and fought against the Edomites who had gathered around them. But his army ran away to their tents. 22 So Edom turned against the rule of Judah to this day. Libnah turned against Judah's rule at the same time. 23 The rest of the acts of Joram and all he did, are they not written in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 24 Then Joram died and was buried in the city of David. His son Ahaziah became king in his place.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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:

then Libnah revolted at the same time; a considerable city in his own kingdom, a Levitical one; this revolt was occasioned, perhaps, by his idolatrous practices, and which he compelled his subjects to; of this city, see Joshua 10:29.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

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. It had been the capital of a small Canaanite state under a separate king before its conquest by Joshua Joshua 10:30; Joshua 12:15, and may perhaps always have retained a considerable Canaanite population. Or its loss may have been connected with the attacks made by the Philistines on Jehoram’s territories 2 Chronicles 21:16-17.
