1. Ahaziah succeeding, reigns wickedly
5. in his confederacy with Joram, the son of Ahab, he is slain by Jehu
10. Athaliah, destroying all the seed royal, save Joash, usurps the kingdom














(2) Forty and two years old.--An error of transcription. 2Kings 8:26, twenty and two; and so the Syriac and Arabic: the LXX. has "twenty." Ahaziah could not have been forty when he succeeded, because his father was only forty when he died (2Chronicles 21:20).

Athaliah the daughter of Omri--i.e., granddaughter, she being daughter of Ahab and Jezebel. Kings adds, "king of Israel," which the chronicler purposely omits. (Comp. Micah 6:16 : "The statutes of Omri," "the works of the house of Ahab.")

Verse 2. - Forty and two; read, twenty and two, and see parallel, 2 Kings 8:26; and note on our 2 Chronicles 21:5. Daughter of Omri; i.e. granddaughter of Omri, as Omri was the father of Ahab.
