2 Kings 8:27 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 8:27

And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in
the sight of the Lord, as [did] the house of Ahab
Worshipping the calves, and Baal also:

for he was the son in law of the house of Ahab;
he was the son of Jehoram, who was son-in-law to Ahab, having married his daughter, which accounts for his being guilty of the same idolatrous practices.

2 Kings 8:27 In-Context

25 Ahaziah son of Jehoram became king of Judah during the twelfth year Joram son of Ahab was king of Israel.

26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he ruled one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri king of Israel.

27 Ahaziah followed the ways of Ahab's family. He did what the Lord said was wrong, as Ahab's family had done, because he was a son-in-law to Ahab.

28 Ahaziah went with Joram son of Ahab to Ramoth in Gilead, where they fought against Hazael king of Aram. The Arameans wounded Joram.

29 So King Joram returned to Jezreel to heal from the wound he had received from the Arameans at Ramoth when he fought Hazael king of Aram. Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to visit Joram son of Ahab at Jezreel, because he had been wounded.
