Context — Ahaziah Reigns in Judah

4And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as the house of Ahab had done, for to his destruction they were his counselors after the death of his father. 5Ahaziah also followed their counsel and went with Joram son of Ahab king of Israel to fight against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead. But the Arameans wounded Joram.

6So he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds they had inflicted on him at Ramah when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. Then Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to Jezreel to visit Joram son of Ahab, because Joram had been wounded.

7Ahaziah’s downfall came from God when he went to visit Joram. When Ahaziah arrived, he went out with Joram to meet Jehu son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab. 8So while Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, he found the rulers of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s brothers who were serving Ahaziah, and he killed them.

2 Chronicles 22:6 Summary

This verse tells us that Joram, the king of Israel, was wounded in a battle against Hazael, the king of Aram, and he returned to Jezreel to recover. Ahaziah, the king of Judah, visited Joram in Jezreel because he was concerned about his well-being. This event shows that even though Joram had done evil things, Ahaziah still cared about him and wanted to visit him when he was hurt. This reminds us that we should be kind and compassionate towards others, even if they have made mistakes, just like God is kind and compassionate towards us (Psalm 103:8-10, Luke 6:27-31).

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Joram return to Jezreel after being wounded at Ramah?

Joram returned to Jezreel to recover from his wounds, as mentioned in 2 Chronicles 22:6, which suggests he was seeking a safe place to heal and regain his strength, much like David did in 1 Samuel 30:17-20 when he was fleeing from his enemies.

What was the relationship between Ahaziah and Joram?

Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram king of Judah, and Joram, the son of Ahab, were related through their fathers, who were kings of Judah and Israel respectively, and they were also allies in their fight against Hazael king of Aram, as seen in 2 Chronicles 22:5.

Why did Ahaziah visit Joram in Jezreel?

Ahaziah visited Joram in Jezreel because Joram had been wounded, as stated in 2 Chronicles 22:6, showing that Ahaziah was concerned about Joram's well-being and wanted to visit him during his time of need, similar to the way David visited Saul when he was sick in 1 Samuel 19:18.

What can we learn from the fact that Ahaziah went to visit Joram despite Joram's evil actions?

This event shows that Ahaziah was not discerning about the company he kept, and he was influenced by Joram's evil actions, as mentioned in 2 Chronicles 22:4, which serves as a warning to believers to be careful about the relationships they form and the influences they allow in their lives, as stated in 1 Corinthians 15:33.

Reflection Questions

What are some ways I can show kindness and concern for others who are going through difficult times, just like Ahaziah visited Joram when he was wounded?
How can I be more discerning about the relationships I form and the influences I allow in my life, so I can avoid being led astray like Ahaziah was?
What are some lessons I can learn from Joram's experience of being wounded in battle, and how can I apply those lessons to my own life when I face challenges and setbacks?
In what ways can I prioritize my relationship with God and seek His guidance, rather than relying on human relationships or alliances, like Ahaziah did with Joram?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Chronicles 22:6

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.

Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 22:6

2 Chronicles 22:6 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.Ver. 6. And he returned to be healed.] See 2 Kings 9:15. And Azariah.] See on 2 Chronicles 22:1.

Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 22:6

(6) And he—i.e., Joram, 1 Kings 8:29, and LXX. Because of the wounds.—Omit “because.” So Kings, and LXX. (ἀπὸτῶνπληγῶν), Syriac, Arabic, and Targum, as well as some Hebrew MSS. The Hebrew text has “because the wounds,” which makes no sense. The word rendered “wounds” (makhim) only occurs besides in 2 Kings 8:29; 2 Kings 9:15. (Ki, “because,” has originated out of min, “from.”) Azariah.—A mistake for “Ahaziah.” So Kings, LXX., Vulg., Syriac, Arabic, and some Hebrew MSS. Went down.—Whether from Ramah or Jerusalem is not clear. (See 2 Kings 9:14.) Jehoram.—Kings, Joram; and so the versions.
