2 Chronicles 22:8 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 22:8

And it came to pass, that when Jehu was executing judgment on
the house of Ahab
On Joram, his son, and seventy more sons, his kinsfolks, courtiers, and priests:

and found the princes of Judah, and or even the sons of the brethren of
Ahaziah;
whose number was forty two:

that ministered to Ahaziah;
had offices in his court, or in obedience to his will, went to visit the children of the king and queen of Israel:

and he slew them;
Jehu did; of the occasion, time, and place of his meeting with them, and slaying them, see ( 2 Kings 10:12-14 ) .

2 Chronicles 22:8 In-Context

6 And he returned to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds which were given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab at Jezreel, because he was sick .

7 And the destruction of Ahaziah was of God by coming to Joram: for when he was come , he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

8 And it came to pass, that, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, that ministered to Ahaziah, he slew them.

9 And he sought Ahaziah: and they caught him, (for he was hid in Samaria,) and brought him to Jehu: and when they had slain him, they buried him: Because, said they, he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom.

10 But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead , she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.
