2 Re 1:17

17 Ed egli morì, secondo la parola del Signore, che Elia avea pronunziata; e Gioram regnò in luogo suo, l’anno secondo di Gioram, figliuolo di Giosafat, re di Giuda; perciocchè Achazia non avea figliuoli.

2 Re 1:17 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 1:17

So he died, according to the word of the Lord which Elijah had
spoken
How long or how soon after this is not said; however, he died of the sickness, and on the bed to which he went up, as he said:

and Jehoram reigned in his stead:
who was another son of Ahab, and brother of Ahaziah, ( 2 Kings 3:1 ) , in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; but as he must begin his reign in the nineteenth, or in the latter end of the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat, see ( 1 Kings 22:51 ) ( 2 Kings 3:1 ) and Jehoshaphat reigned in all twenty five years, ( 1 Kings 22:42 ) , he must live and reign after this six or seven years; this therefore is to be reconciled by observing, that this son of Jehoshaphat was made viceroy, or was taken into partnership in the throne by his father when he went with Ahab to Ramothgilead; and it was in the second year of this his reign with his father that the other Jehoram began his:

because he had no son;
that is, Ahaziah, wherefore his brother reigned in his stead.

2 Re 1:17 In-Context

15 E l’Angelo del Signore disse ad Elia: Scendi con lui, non temer di lui. Egli adunque si levò, e scese con lui, e andò al re.

16 Ed egli gli disse: Così ha detto il Signore: Perciocchè tu hai mandati messi, per domandar Baal-zebub, dio di Ecron, come se non vi fosse alcun Dio in Israele, per domandar la sua parola, ecco, tu non iscenderai dal letto, sopra il quale tu sei salito; anzi, per certo tu morrai.

17 Ed egli morì, secondo la parola del Signore, che Elia avea pronunziata; e Gioram regnò in luogo suo, l’anno secondo di Gioram, figliuolo di Giosafat, re di Giuda; perciocchè Achazia non avea figliuoli.

18 Ora, quant’è al rimanente de’ fatti di Achazia; queste cose non sono esse scritte nel Libro delle Croniche dei re d’Israele?
