2 Chronicles 22:8-10

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 22:8

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

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 22:9

Compare the marginal reference. Ahaziah after remaining a while at Megiddo, removed to Samaria, where his wounds could be better cared for and concealment might be easier; Jehu’s emissaries discovered him there; they took him to Jehu, who happened at the time to be at Megiddo; and then and there Jehu put him to death. The narrative here is therefore supplementary to that of 2 Kings, and finds its proper place between the clause,” He fled to Megiddo,” and the words “and died there.”And when they... read more

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
