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 Ahaziah was 42 years old when he began to rule, and he ruled for one year in Jerusalem. His mother was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri.
3 Ahaziah also followed the ways of Ahab's family, because his mother gave him advice that led him to sin.
4 He did what the LORD considered evil, as Ahab's family had done. After his father died, they advised him to do what Ahab's family had done. They did this to destroy him.
5 Ahaziah followed their advice and went with Ahab's son King Joram of Israel to fight against King Hazael of Aram at Ramoth Gilead. There the Arameans wounded Joram.
6 Joram returned to Jezreel to let his wounds heal. (He had been wounded by the Arameans at Ramah when he fought against King Hazael of Aram.) Then Jehoram's son Ahaziah went to Jezreel to see Ahab's son Joram, who was sick.
