Introduction
Ahaziah beans to reign; and reigns wickedly under the counsels of his bad mother, 2Chr 22:1-4. He is slain by Jehu, who destroys all the house of Ahab, 2Chr 22:5-9. Athaliah destroys all the seed royal of Judah, except Joash, who is hidden by his nurse in the temple six years, 2Chr 22:10-12. Verse 1 Made Ahaziah his youngest son king - All the others had been slain by the Arabians, etc.; see the preceding chapter, 2Chr 21:17 (note).Adam Clarke, 1831 · public domain
