Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
Libnah revolted - Libnah being toward the southwest of Palestine Jos 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 Jos 10:30; Jos 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 Ch2 21:16-17.

16 Moreover the LORD [03068] stirred up [05782] against Jehoram [03088] the spirit [07307] of the Philistines [06430], and of the Arabians [06163], that were near [05921] [03027] the Ethiopians [03569]:

15 The king [04428] of Libnah [03841], one [0259]; the king [04428] of Adullam [05725], one [0259];
30 And the LORD [03068] delivered [05414] it also, and the king [04428] thereof, into the hand [03027] of Israel [03478]; and he smote [05221] it with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719], and all the souls [05315] that were therein; he let [07604] none remain [08300] in it; but did [06213] unto the king [04428] thereof as he did [06213] unto the king [04428] of Jericho [03405].
