Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Chronicles 22:10

_ _ 2 Chronicles 22:10-12. Athaliah, destroying the seed royal save Joash, usurps the kingdom.

_ _ Athaliah ... arose and destroyed all the seed royal — (See on 2 Kings 11:1-3). Maddened by the massacre of the royal family of Ahab, she resolved that the royal house of David should have the same fate. Knowing the commission which Jehu had received to extirpate the whole of Ahab’s posterity, she expected that he would extend his sword to her. Anticipating his movements, she resolved, as her only defense and security, to usurp the throne and destroy “the seed royal,” both because they were hostile to the Phoenician worship of Baal, which she was determined to uphold, and because, if one of the young princes became king, his mother would supersede Athaliah in the dignity of queen mother.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

2 Chronicles 22:10-12

_ _ We have here what we had before, 2 Kings 11:1, etc. 1. A wicked woman endeavouring to destroy the house of David, that she might set up a throne for herself upon the ruins of it. Athaliah barbarously cut off all the seed-royal (2 Chronicles 22:10), perhaps intending to transmit the crown of Judah after herself to some of her own relations, that though her family was cut off in Israel by Jehu it might be planted in Judah. 2. A good woman effectually preserving it from being wholly extirpated. One of the late king's sons, a child of a year old, was rescued from among the dead, and saved alive by the care of Jehoiada's wife (2 Chronicles 22:11, 2 Chronicles 22:12), that a lamp might be ordained for God's anointed; for no word of God shall fall to the ground.
