Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Chronicles 22:9

_ _ he sought Ahaziah, and they caught him (for he was hid in Samaria) — (compare 2 Kings 9:27-29). The two accounts are easily reconciled. “Ahaziah fled first to the garden house and escaped to Samaria; but was here, where he had hid himself, taken by Jehu’s men who pursued him, brought to Jehu, who was still near or in Jezreel, and at his command slain at the hill Gur, beside Ibleam, in his chariot; that is, mortally wounded with an arrow, so that he, again fleeing, expired at Megiddo” [Keil]. Jehu left the corpse at the disposal of the king of Judah’s attendants, who conveyed it to Jerusalem, and out of respect to his grandfather Jehoshaphat’s memory, gave him an honorable interment in the tombs of the kings.

_ _ So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom — His children were too young to assume the reins of government, and all the other royal princes had been massacred by Jehu (2 Chronicles 22:8).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

2 Chronicles 22:9

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 (g) Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom.

(g) This was the just plague of God because he joined himself with God's enemies: yet God to declare the worthiness of Jehoshaphat his grandfather moved them to give him the honour of burial.

he sought Ahaziah:
The account in the parallel passage is somewhat different. "The current of the story at large is this," says Dr. Lightfoot: "Jehu slayeth Joram in the field of Jezreel, as Ahaziah and Joram were together: Ahaziah seeing this, flies, and gets into Samaria, and hides himself there. Jehu marches to Jezreel, and makes Jezebel dogs' meat. From thence sends to Samaria for the heads of Ahab's children and posterity; which are brought him by night, and shewed to the people in the morning. Then he marches to Samaria, and, by the way, slayeth forty-two of Ahab's kinsmen, and findeth Jehonadab, the father of the Rechabites. Coming into Samaria, he maketh search for Ahaziah. They find him hid, bring him to Jehu, and he commands to carry him towards Gur, by Ibleam, and there to slay him. They do so. Smite him in his chariot, and his charioteer driveth away to Megiddo before he dies." "
2 Kings 9:27 But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw [this], he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot. [And they did so] at the going up to Gur, which [is] by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.

2 Chronicles 21:20 Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being desired. Howbeit they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
