2 Chronicles 22:8 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 22:8

And it came to pass, that when Jehu was executing judgment on
the house of Ahab
On Joram, his son, and seventy more sons, his kinsfolks, courtiers, and priests:

and found the princes of Judah, and or even the sons of the brethren of
Ahaziah;
whose number was forty two:

that ministered to Ahaziah;
had offices in his court, or in obedience to his will, went to visit the children of the king and queen of Israel:

and he slew them;
Jehu did; of the occasion, time, and place of his meeting with them, and slaying them, see ( 2 Kings 10:12-14 ) .

2 Chronicles 22:8 In-Context

6 Joram returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he suffered at Ramah in his battle with Aram's King Hazael. Then Judah's King Ahaziah, Jehoram's son, went down to visit Joram, Ahab's son, at Jezreel because he had been wounded.

7 But God used this visit to Joram to bring about Ahaziah's downfall. After his arrival, Ahaziah went with Joram to meet Jehu, Nimshi's son, whom the LORD had anointed to destroy Ahab's dynasty.

8 While Jehu was executing judgment on Ahab's dynasty, he discovered the princes of Judah, Ahaziah's nephews, serving Ahaziah, and Jehu killed them.

9 Jehu went looking for Ahaziah, who was captured while hiding in Samaria. He was then brought to Jehu and executed. He was given a decent burial, however, because people said, "He was the grandson of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart." There were now no members of Ahaziah's dynasty strong enough to rule the kingdom.

10 When Athaliah, Ahaziah's mother, learned of her son's death, she immediately destroyed the entire royal family of Judah's dynasty.
