역대하 22:5-12 KRV

A medley of the memoranda of evil-doing, its consequences, and its end. The one surviving son of Jehoram, his youngest son, Ahaziah, is put on an unsteady, unsafe throne. Jehoram had caused all his own brethren to be slain, and now it had come to pass that all his "eldest sons had been slain by the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp" As Athaliah, the daughter of Ahab and granddaughter of Omri, the evil wife of Jehoram, had not failed to make an evil husband of Jehoram, so,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 22:1-12

A chapter of tragedies. I. THE SLAUGHTER OF JEHORAM 'S SONS . ( 2 Chronicles 22:1 .) An illustration of three things. 1 . The perils attending high station. Jehoram's sons were among the captives taken by the Philistines and Arabians ( 2 Chronicles 21:17 ). Had they been common soldiers, their lives might have been spared; being princes of the blood, they were put to death. A man's social elevation attracts towards him the arrows of hate, envy, malice, and other secret... read more

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

Executing judgment upon the house of Ahab . The description of all this is sufficiently graphically scattered along the verses of 2Ki 9:24—11:20. And found the princes of Judah (see especially 2 Kings 10:7 , 2 Kings 10:11 ; 2 Kings 11:13-20 ). And the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah . This both explains and is explained by 2 Kings 10:12-14 . That ministered to Ahaziah . Even this enigmatical little clause receives its probable explanation from the last clause of 2 Kings 10:13 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 22:9

And he sought Ahaziah: and they caught him … brought him … buried him. This verse, which at the first sight seems at variance with 2 Kings 9:27 , 2 Kings 9:28 , is perhaps a simply surprising instance of undesigned corroboration of history by the treatment of different historians. The verse, e.g; corrects the italics of 2 Kings 9:27 ; expunging them throws their proper force into the words, "at the going up to Gur," showing that Jehu reckoned on that steep kill to enable his... read more
