From Ramoth, having taken it, and left his army there:

to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him
at Ramah;

when he fought against Hazael king of Syria;
for Benhadad being dead, he was now king in his room, ( 2 Kings 8:15 )

and Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the
son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick;
of the wounds which he had received, which might occasion a feverish disorder; and so it was brought about in Providence that Ahaziah should here meet with the destruction appointed for him, of which in the following chapter. See ( 2 Chronicles 22:7 ) .
