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 Then he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds which he had received at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.

7 His going to Joram was God's occasion for Ahaziah's downfall; for when he arrived, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

8 And it happened, when Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah's brothers who served Ahaziah, that he killed them.

9 Then he searched for Ahaziah; and they caught him (he was hiding in Samaria), and brought him to Jehu. When they had killed him, they buried him, "because," they said, "he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the Lord with all his heart." So the house of Ahaziah had no one to assume power over the kingdom.

10 Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal heirs of the house of Judah.
