2 Chronicles 22:4 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 22:4

Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the Lord, like the house
of Ahab
See ( 2 Kings 8:27 )

for they were his counsellors, after the death of his father, to his
destruction;
both of soul and body; for they gave him bad advice, both in religious and civil things; these were some of the family or court of the king of Israel, that his mother sent for after his father's death to be of his council.

2 Chronicles 22:4 In-Context

2 Achazyah was forty-two years old when he began his reign, and he ruled for one year in Yerushalayim. His mother's name was 'Atalyahu the daughter of 'Omri.
3 He too lived after the example of the house of Ach'av, because his mother was his counselor in acting wickedly.
4 So he did what was evil from ADONAI's perspective, as had the house of Ach'av; because, to his destruction, they were his counselors after his father died;
5 and he lived his life by their advice. With Y'horam the son of Ach'av, king of Isra'el, he went to war against Haza'el king of Aram at Ramot-Gil'ad, where the Aramim wounded Yoram.
6 He returned to Yizre'el to be healed of the wounds which they had inflicted on him at Ramah while fighting Haza'el king of Aram. Achazyah the son of Y'horam, king of Y'hudah, went down to visit Y'horam the son of Ach'av in Yizre'el, because he was not feeling well.
