Ahaziah's father, Jehoram, was but 40 when be died Ch2 21:20.\nThe destruction of Ahaziah was of God - i. e. his untimely end was a judgment upon him for his idolatry.\nCompare the marginal reference. Ahaziah after remaining a while at Megiddo, removed to Samaria, where his wounds could be better cared for and concealment might be easier; Jehu's emissaries discovered him there; they took him to Jehu, who happened at the time to be at Megiddo; and then and there Jehu put him to death. The narrative here is therefore supplementary to that of 2 Kings, and finds its proper place between the clause,\" He fled to Megiddo,\" and the words \"and died there.\"\nAnd when they had slain him, they buried him - Jehu's emissaries killed him but allowed his servants to bury him (see Kg2 9:28).\nNo power ... - As Ahaziah was but twenty-three at his death (Ch2 22:2 note), he had no grown-up son to take the crown.\nCompare the marginal reference and notes.","title":"Notes on the Bible by Albert Barnes: 2 Chronicles: 2 Chro...","type":"page"}
