Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Chronicles 22:2

_ _ Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign — (Compare 2 Kings 8:26). According to that passage, the commencement of his reign is dated in the twenty-second year of his age, and, according to this, in the forty-second year of the kingdom of his mother’s family [Lightfoot]. “If Ahaziah ascended the throne in the twenty-second year of his life, he must have been born in his father’s nineteenth year. Hence, it may seem strange that he had older brothers; but in the East they marry early, and royal princes had, besides the wife of the first rank, usually concubines, as Jehoram had (2 Chronicles 21:17); he might, therefore, in the nineteenth year of his age, very well have several sons” [Keil] (compare 2 Chronicles 21:20; 2 Kings 8:17).

_ _ Athaliah the daughter of Omri — more properly, “granddaughter.” The expression is used loosely, as the statement was made simply for the purpose of intimating that she belonged to that idolatrous race.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Chronicles 22:1-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Chronicles 22:2

Forty two years — Some acknowledge an error in the transcribers of the present Hebrew copies, in which language the numeral letters for 22 and 42 are so like, that they might easily be mistaken. For that it was read 22 here, as it is in the book of Kings, in other Hebrew copies, they gather from hence, that it is at this day so read in divers ancient Greek copies, as also in those two ancient translations, the Syriack and the Arabick, and particularly in that most ancient copy of the Syriack which was used by the church of Antioch in the primitive times, and to this day is kept in the church of Antioch. The daughter — Of Ahab, Omri's Son. Grand — children are often called sons and daughters.

Forty and two:
In the parallel passage (see note on
2 Kings 8:26 Two and twenty years old [was] Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
) he is said to be only twenty-two; and this is doubtless the true reading, as it is supported here by several manuscripts and versions.

Athaliah:

2 Chronicles 21:6 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he wrought [that which was] evil in the eyes of the LORD.
1 Kings 16:28 So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.
