So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. The same time also did Libnah revolt from under his hand; because he had forsaken the Lord God of his fathers. (2 Chronicles 21:10)
This detail is not found in the parallel passage of 2 Kings 8:22, which states merely that Libnah revolted. Libnah was in the lowland of Judah near Makkedah and Lachish (Joshua 10:29-31), near the Philistine border, but its site is uncertain. It is probably to be identified with Tell eṣ-Ṣâfī. Its revolt was no doubt aided by Philistine attacks on Judah under Jehoram (2 Chron. 21:16, 17).
Unto this day.
Amaziah later gained a measure of success in Edom (ch. 25:11-15), but this seems not to have been permanent. Under John Hyrcanus, in the 2d century B.C., the Edomites (then living in southern Judah) were once more reduced to vassalage.
