His incurable disease, infamous death, and burial So to this day Edom has been in rebellion against the hand of Judah. Edom, located to the southeast of Judah, was historically subject to Israel and Judah. The rebellion mentioned here marks a significant shift in the balance of power. This rebellion began during the reign of Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, and continued as a persistent issue for Judah. The phrase "to this day" indicates the ongoing nature of Edom's independence at the time of the chronicler's writing. This rebellion fulfilled the prophecy given to Rebekah in Genesis 25:23, where it was foretold that the older (Edom) would serve the younger (Israel), but the struggle between the two nations would be ongoing. The Edomites' rebellion is a consequence of Jehoram's unfaithfulness, reflecting the broader biblical theme that disobedience to God leads to political and social instability. Likewise, Libnah rebelled against his hand at the same time, because Jehoram had forsaken the LORD, the God of his fathers. Persons / Places / Events 1. EdomA nation descended from Esau, Jacob's brother, historically under the control of Judah but now in rebellion. 2. Judah The southern kingdom of Israel, ruled by the line of David, experiencing internal and external strife during King Jehoram's reign. 3. Libnah A city in the Shephelah of Judah, which also rebelled against King Jehoram's rule. 4. Jehoram The king of Judah who led the nation into idolatry and away from the worship of the LORD. 5. Forsaking the LORD The central reason for the rebellion, highlighting the spiritual decline under Jehoram's leadership. Teaching Points Consequences of Forsaking GodJehoram's abandonment of the LORD led to political instability and rebellion. This serves as a warning about the dangers of turning away from God. The Importance of Spiritual Leadership As king, Jehoram's spiritual decline had national repercussions. Leaders are called to guide others in faithfulness to God. God's Sovereignty and Justice Despite human rebellion, God's purposes prevail. Edom's rebellion was part of God's judgment on Judah, demonstrating His control over nations. The Role of Repentance The rebellion of Edom and Libnah highlights the need for repentance and returning to God to restore peace and blessing. Legacy and Influence Jehoram's actions affected future generations. Our choices can have lasting impacts on those who come after us.(10) Unto this day.--See on 2Chronicles 5:9. The date thus assigned is some time prior to the captivity. No account is taken of Amaziah's reduction of Edom (2Chronicles 25:11-15), which was probably not permanent. The same time also.--Literally, then revolted Libnah at that time. 2Kings 8:22 ends here. The chronicler adds, "from under his (i.e., Jehoram's) hand," and assigns a moral ground for the successful rebellion: "For he had forsaken Jehovah, the God of his fathers." (Thenius can hardly be right in asserting that the chronicler meant to say that Libnah, as a city of the priests, refused obedience to the idolatrous king; nor Hitzig, in explaining the revolt as merely a religious secession. ) He forsook Jehovah, by "walking in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab," i.e., by adopting and popularising the worship of the Tyrian Baal, to please his wife and her people. In those days friendship with an alien race seems to have involved recognition of their gods. (Comp. Amos 1:9 for the alliance between Tyre and Judah.) Libnah.--Syriac, "the Edomites that lived in Libnah." Verse 10. - Libnah... because he had forsaken. The parallel states the revolt of Libnah also, but does not make the closing remark of our verse. Ver. 11 - Caused... to commit fornication. Perhaps the meaning is exclusively here the infidelity of idolatry, but at any rate it includes this.Parallel Commentaries ...
