Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 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.
6. Jezreel ] A city some distance to the north of Samaria, giving its name to the plain of Jezreel (Esdrelon). Ahab had a house there (1Ki 21:1), probably a country house judging from the incident of Naboth’s vineyard. It is the modern Zer‘in, a town situated on a hill commanding a wide view towards the west and the east. Bdeker, pp. 242, 243.
because of the wounds ] R.V. (with 2 Kin.) of the wounds. A.V. gives a misleading translation of a corrupt Heb. text.
Ramah ] i.e. Ramoth-gilead.
7 9 (cp. 2Ki 9:21 ; 2Ki 10:13-14; 2Ki 9:27-28). The Death of Ahaziah

(6) And hei.e., Joram, 1Ki. 8:29, and LXX.
Because of the wounds.Omit because. So
Kings, and LXX. ( ), 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 2Ki. 8:29; 2Ki. 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 2Ki. 9:14.)
Jehoram.Kings, Joram; and so the versions.

And he returned: 2Ki 9:15
which were given him: Heb. wherewith they wounded him, Azariah. Ahaziah, [Strong’s H274], and Jehoahaz, [Strong’s H3059], are essentially the same both in letters and sense, the word , yeho, or , [Strong’s H3050], yah, being merely transposed, but Azariah, , [Strong’s H5838], seems to have been a distinct name by which he was known. 2Ch 22:1, 2Ch 22:7, Ahaziah, 2Ch 21:17, Jehoahaz
to see Jehoram: 2Ki 8:29, 2Ki 10:13-14
Reciprocal: 2Ki 8:24 – Ahaziah 2Ki 9:16 – And Ahaziah 2Ch 24:25 – great diseases 2Ch 25:23 – Jehoahaz
