1 Reis 22:51-53

O Reinado de Acazias, Rei de Israel

51 Acazias, filho de Acabe, tornou-se rei de Israel em Samaria no décimo sétimo ano do reinado de Josafá, rei de Judá, e reinou dois anos sobre Israel.

52 Fez o que o SENHOR reprova, pois andou nos caminhos de seu pai e de sua mãe e nos caminhos de Jeroboão, filho de Nebate, que fez Israel pecar.

53 Prestou culto a Baal e o adorou, provocando assim a ira do SENHOR, o Deus de Israel, como o seu pai tinha feito.

1 Reis 22:51-53 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO 1 KINGS 22

This chapter relates, that after three years' peace with the king of Syria, Ahab was inclined to go to war with him, to take Ramothgilead out of his hands; and he drew in Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, to join him in it, 1Ki 22:1-4, but before they went into it, they took advice, Ahab of his four hundred prophets, which Jehoshaphat not being satisfied with, a true prophet of the Lord, Micahah, was sent for, 1Ki 22:5-14 who, when he came, jeered Ahab with what his prophets had said to him; intimated that he should be killed, and explained it to him how he came to be deceived by his prophets, 1Ki 22:15-23 upon which he was smitten on the cheek by Zedekiah, one of the false prophets, and imprisoned by the order of Ahab, 1Ki 22:24-28, after which the two kings went to the battle, and Jehoshaphat was in great danger of his life; but Ahab was wounded, and died, 1Ki 22:29-40, and the chapter is concluded with an account of the reign of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, 1Ki 22:41-50, and of Ahaziah king of Israel, 1Ki 22:51-53.
