Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Kings 1:17

2 Kings 1:17. Jehoram reigned in his stead Namely, his brother, because he had no son. In the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat To avoid confusion, the reader should take notice, that in the course of this history, there is mention made of two Jehorams; one the second son of Ahab, who succeeded Ahaziah, and was king of Israel; the other, the heir of Jehoshaphat, who reigned in Judah. By comparing 2 Kings 3:1, and 2 Kings 8:16, it will appear that there is a considerable... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 1:1-18

1:1-8:15 MINISTRY OF ELISHAElijah succeeded by Elisha (1:1-2:25)Ahab’s son Ahaziah had not reigned long when he was injured in a fall. When he sent messengers to ask foreign gods whether he would recover, Elijah met them along the way. He sent them back with a message that the king would die, because he had forsaken the true God for foreign gods (1:1-10). Ahaziah sent soldiers to arrest Elijah, apparently with the intention of killing him because of his bold words. The ungodly king lost a... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Kings 1:17

AHAZIAH DIED; ACCORDING TO THE PROPHECY OF ELIJAH"So he died according to the word of Jehovah which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram began to reign in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son. Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?""And Jehoram began to reign" (2 Kings 1:17). Jehoram is the same as Joram.[17] This is an example of chronological... read more

3. Ahaziah’s evil reign in Israel 1 Kings 22:51-2 Kings 1:18 (continued)Second Kings begins with Ahaziah’s reign that fell during the 33-year period of Israel and Judah’s alliance (874-841 B.C.; 1 Kings 16:29 -2 Kings 9:29). This period in turn fits within the larger context of the divided kingdom (931-722 B.C.; 1 Kings 12 -2 Kings 17). [Note: See the diagram of the period of alliance near my notes on 1 Kings 16:29.] "The typical Syrian upper balcony was enclosed with a jointed wood... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Kings 1:17

(17) And Jehoram.—LXX. (Alex.), Syriac, and Vulgate add “his brother,” an expression which has fallen out of the Hebrew text, owing to its resemblance to the next (tahtâw, “in his stead”). (Comp. 2 Kings 3:1, “son of Ahab.”)In the second year of Jehoram.—Vat. LXX., “in the eighteenth year,” which is probably right. (Comp. 1 Kings 22:52, “Ahaziah . . . reigned over Israel in . . . the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat . . . and he reigned two years.” Either, therefore, our present Heb. text is... read more
