The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 22:5

He … went with Jehoram the son of Ahab. So the evil example of even the good lives after them. See Jehoshaphat ( 1 Kings 22:29 ; 2 Chronicles 18:8 ) followed by his son Jehoram first ( 2 Kings 3:9 ), and now by his grandson Ahaziah. The words of this verse and the next are almost identical with the parallel ( 2 Kings 8:28 , 2 Kings 8:29 ). Ramoth-Gilead . It will be remembered that Ahab failed when he solicited and obtained the help of Jehoshaphat ( 1 Kings 22:3-36 ; 2... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 22:5-12

Our friends and their fate, etc These verses offer us a cluster of truths which we may gather. I. THAT OUR FATE IS COMMONLY BOUND UP WITH THAT OF OUR FRIENDS . Ahaziah "went with Jehoram the son of Ahab" ( 2 Chronicles 22:5 ); and, allying himself with him in war, he visited him as a friend when he was at his home at Jezreel. But this friendship with God's enemies led him to his destruction; his coming to Jehoram was "of God" ( 2 Chronicles 22:7 ); it was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 22:6

Both places (this and the parallel) tell first that Ahaziah went with Joram against Hazael; then that Joram, being smitten, returned for healing to Jezreel; next that Ahaziah, out of compassion in some sort, went down to see Joram in Jezreel; and lastly, it is here signalized that in that very deed of his, Providence brought it about that Jehu lighted upon the track of him ( 2 Chronicles 22:7-9 ), and he met his end. This feature of the history the writer of Chronicles wishes to exhibit, as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 22:7

He went out with Jehoram against Jehu . The "against" is the simple preposition אֶל , and need intend nothing more than "to meet" Jehu; not to meet him hostilely. What the manner of the meeting was, however, we know from 2 Kings 9:21 , 2 Kings 9:22 , 2 Kings 9:27 , 2 Kings 9:28 . The history of this and following two verses is here given very briefly; much must be filled in to give its full explanation, as in 2 Kings 9:11-29 . Whom the Lord had anointed to out off the house of... read more

2 Chronicles 22:3-4. He walked in the ways of the house of Ahab Called their ways, not because they were the first inventors of them in these parts, but the chief establishers. These ways did not consist merely in the worshipping of God by an image, which was the way of Jeroboam; but in the worship of other gods besides the God of Israel, namely, Baal-gods, or Baalim.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 22:1-12

Jezebel’s Baalism in Judah (21:1-23:21)The Baalism of Ahab and Jezebel remained strong in the northern kingdom during the successive reigns of their sons Ahaziah and Joram (2 Kings 1:1-8:15). It spread to Judah in the reign of Jehoshaphat’s son Jehoram, who was married to Athaliah, the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel (21:1-20; see notes on 2 Kings 8:16-24).Judah’s next king, Ahaziah, at the direction of his mother Athaliah and her northern relatives, cooperated with the idolatrous northern... read more
