Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Kings 22:41-53

Here is, I. A short account of the reign of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, of which we shall have a much fuller narrative in the book of Chronicles, and of the greatness and goodness of that prince, neither of which was lessened or sullied by any thing but his intimacy with the house of Ahab, which, upon several accounts, was a diminution to him. His confederacy with Ahab in war we have already found dangerous to him, and his confederacy with Ahaziah his son in trade sped no better. He offered to... read more

Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah ,.... It is observed, that Jehoshaphat began to reign in the fourth year of Ahab, and Ahab reigned twenty two years, see 1 Kings 22:41 , and therefore Ahab's son must begin to reign in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat; but perhaps he was made king in his father's lifetime, before he went on his expedition to Ramothgilead, or Ahab's reign was not twenty two years complete: ... read more

Survival. After the account of Ahab's death and burial, and of the manner in which the dogs of Samaria fulfilled the prophecy of Elijah, the earlier verses of our text follow. In the first of these the reader is referred to the archives of the nation for an account of the "rest of the Ac" and works of this monarch, viz; those to which inspiration was not here specially directed. In the second, the succession of Ahaziah is mentioned. With these verses, because of the unity of the subject,... read more

Two Life Stories. I. JEHOSHAPHAT 'S. 1 . He prolonged the good influence of his father ' s reign . Judah's thought was still kept under the light of truth, and its life more fully led into the ways of God: he completed his father's reforms ( 1 Kings 22:46 ). The continuance of God s work anywhere is as important as the origination of it. 2 . He was consistent . "He turned not aside from it." He did not merely begin well; over his whole reign there rested the Divine... read more

[Parts of two years; 2 Kings 3:1 ; and of. 2 Kings 1:17 and 2 Kings 8:16 . It is suggested that Jehoram was associated with his father in the government of Judah from the date of the expedition against Ramoth-Gilead, and this is not improbable. But it has been already remarked that these chronological notices appear to have undergone a... read more

AN INTRODUCTION OF THE REIGN OF AHAB'S SON; AHAZIAH"Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned two years over Israel.

B. The Period of Alliance 1 Kings 16:29-2 Kings 9:29King Jehoshaphat of Judah made peace with King Ahab of Israel (1 Kings 22:44). He did so by contracting a marriage between his son, Jehoram, and Ahab’s daughter, Athaliah (2 Chronicles 18:1). This ended the first period of antagonism between the two kingdoms (931-874 B.C.) and began a 33-year period of alliance (874-841 B.C.). read more
