22<\/strong>. Yet<\/em> [R.V. so<\/strong> ] Edom revolted<\/em> ] The conjunction is changed to conform to the rendering in 2 Chronicles 21<\/span>. 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’.<\/p>\n Then Libnah revolted<\/em> ] R.V. did Libnah revolt<\/strong>. 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 (Jos 10:29-39<\/span>). It is mentioned afterwards (2Ki 19:8<\/span>) 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.<\/p>\n Libnah revolted – <\/B>Libnah being toward the southwest of Palestine Jos 15:42<\/span>, 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 Jos 10:30<\/span>; Jos 12:15<\/span>, 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 Jehorams territories 2Ch 21:16-17<\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n Edom revolted; <\/B>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. <\/P> Libnah; <\/B>a considerable city in Judah, belonging to the priests, Jos 15:42<\/span>; 21:13<\/span>. Why Libnah revolted, see 2Ch 21:10<\/span>,11<\/span>. It is probable they returned to their obedience, because those words, unto this day, which are added to the former clause, are omitted here. <\/P> <\/p>\n Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day<\/strong>,…. Joram not pursuing the enemy, and taking the advantage of the victory, but returning to his own land, the reason of which follows:<\/p>\n then Libnah revolted at the same time<\/strong>; 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 Jos 10:29<\/span>.<\/p>\n (22) Yet.<\/strong>Rather, and<\/em> (i.e.<\/em>, so).<\/p>\n Unto this day.<\/strong>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 Qaus-gabr<\/em> king of Udumu<\/em> (Edom), along with Manasseh of Judah, among their tributaries. Esarhaddon also states that his father Sennacherib had reduced Adum<\/em>, a fortified city of Arabia.<\/p>\n Then Libnah revolted at the same time.<\/strong>The point of the statement is that the success of Edom encouraged Libnah to throw off the Judan supremacy. For the locality see Jos. 10:29<\/span> seq.,<\/em> Jos. 15:42<\/span>; Jos. 21:13<\/span>. Keil thinks the revolt of Libnah coincided with (it was probably supported by) the Philistine invasion recorded in 2Ch. 21:16<\/span>, and continued until Uzziah reduced the Philistines (2Ch. 26:6<\/span> seq.<\/em>). From the time of Hezekiah, Libnah again belonged to Judah (2Ki. 19:8<\/span>; 2Ki. 23:31<\/span>; 2Ki. 24:18<\/span>).<\/p>\n 22<\/strong>. <\/strong> Edom revolted unto this day <\/strong> Some sixty years later the Edomites were again subdued by Amaziah king of Judah, (chap. 2Ki 14:7<\/span>,) so that this record would seem to have been made before the reign of Amaziah. Or it may be, that the subjection of Edom to Amaziah and to his successor Azariah (2Ki 14:21-22<\/span>) was regarded as so temporary and partial as not to amount to a real crushing out of the revolt under Jehoram, for soon after, in the days of Ahaz, the Edomites made inroads upon Judah, (2Ch 28:17<\/span>,) and when the Chaldeans overthrew the Jewish state, and carried the Jews into captivity, the Edomites assisted in the conquest. Oba 1:11<\/span>. <\/p>\n Libnah <\/strong> A city in the southwestern part of the Holy Land, whose inhabitants Joshua once utterly destroyed. See Jos 10:29-30<\/span>. Its site is now unknown. The slight notice of this revolt of Libnah indicates that it was of comparatively little importance, but its success shows the weakness of Jehoram’s reign.<\/p>\n 2Ki 8:22 Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.<\/p>\n Ver. 22. Then Libna revolted at the same time.<\/strong> ] 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. Jos 21:13<\/span> <\/em> 1Ch 6:57 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.” 2Ch 21:10 <\/p>\n Yet Edom, &c. The success of Edom accounted for from the end of 2Ki 8:21, and Gen 27:40. <\/p>\n this day. Written therefore before the captivity of Judah. <\/p>\n Then Libnah revolted. Compare 2Ch 21:10. Lib-nah was a city of the priests (Jos 21:13), and Jehoram with his wife and sons had “broken up” the Temple worship (2Ch 24:7). The priests therefore, headed by Jehoiada (2Ch 23:1), led this revolt, and were afterwards active in repairing the house of the Lord (2Ch 24:1-14). <\/p>\n Yet: “And so fulfilled. Gen 27:40.” 2Ki 8:20 <\/p>\n Libnah: 2Ki 19:8, Jos 21:13, 2Ch 21:10 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Jos 10:29 – Libnah Jos 15:42 – Libnah 2Ki 1:1 – after the Isa 37:8 – Libnah<\/p>\n 8:22 Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then {n} Libnah revolted at the same time.<\/p>\n (n) This was a city in Judah given to the Levites, Jos 21:13 that later turned from king Jehoram, because of his idolatry.<\/p>\n Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time. 22. Yet [R.V. so ] Edom revolted ] The conjunction is changed to conform to the rendering in 2 Chronicles 21.
