2Ki 8:21 — So Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him: and he rose by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots: and the people fled into their tents.

Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

Zair		Zair is supposed by Calmet and others to be the same as Seļr, the country of Seir the Horite, inhabited by the Edomites or Idumeans. Probably the former was a dialectical pronunciation of the latter.
