2 Chronicles 22

2 Chronicles 22:2

Fourty and two] Clear it is, That Iehoram the father of Ahaziah was but fourty years old when he died, chap. XXI. 5. And that Ahaziah himself was but twenty two years old when he began to reigne, 2 Kings VIII. 26. But it was in the two and fourtieth year of the continuance of the Crown in Omri and his race, from whom Ahaziah descended, by his mother Athaliah, 2 Kings VIII. 18, 26. And the Hebrew expression by the word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 a sonne; together with a trajection of some clauses in this verse, do render this interpretation the more passable. And a like passage we finde, as hath been shewed, in chap. XVI. 1. And such trajections are used, 1 Sam. XX. 16. Ezra X. 17. Neh. XII. 22.

Athaliah] Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah, and wife of Jehoram the sonne of Jehoshaphat, and daughter of Ahab and Jezebel, and grandchilde of Omri.

2 Chronicles 22:9

in Samaria] Not in the Citie, but in the Kingdome of Samaria, 2 Kings IX 27.

Sonne of Jehoshaphat] Grandchilde. So daughter for grandchilde, verse 2. A phrase usuall in Scripture.

2 Chronicles 22:10

seed royal] Sonnes of Ahaziah, ver. 11. likely by other women.

2 Chronicles 22:11

of the King] Jehoram, and sister of Ahaziah; as is expressed in this verse.
