4<\/strong>. after the death of his father<\/em> ] This phrase suggests that he acted as regent in his father’s lifetime during his father’s two years’ illness.<\/p>\n After the death of his father; <\/B>who, whilst he lived, seduced his son by his counsel and authority, and made other evil counsellors then unnecessary. <\/P> <\/p>\n Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the Lord, like the house of Ahab<\/strong>,…. See 2Ki 8:27<\/span><\/p>\n for they were his counsellors, after the death of his father, to his destruction<\/strong>; both of soul and body; for they gave him bad advice, both in religious and civil things; these were some of the family or court of the king of Israel, that his mother sent for after his father’s death to be of his council.<\/p>\n (4) Wherefore.<\/strong>And he did the evil.<\/em> So 2Ki. 8:27<\/span>.<\/p>\n For they were his counsellors.<\/strong>Or, became.<\/em><\/p>\n To his destruction.<\/strong>Literally, to destruction to him,<\/em> the same peculiar expression being used which occurred in 2Ch. 20:23<\/span>. This last half of the verse is evidently the chroniclers own free expansion or interpretation of the words of Kings, for he was son-in-law of the house of Ahab.<\/p>\n 2Ch 22:4 Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the LORD like the house of Ahab: for they were his counsellors after the death of his father to his destruction.<\/p>\n Ver. 4. Wherefore he did evil.<\/strong> ] See 2Ki 8:27<\/span> , where he is said to be the son-in-law to the house of Ahab. So that what by his mother’s command, and what by his wife’s importunity, he was utterly marred.<\/p>\n evil = the evils. Hebrew. ra’a. . <\/p>\n the LORD. Hebrew. Jehovah. App-4. <\/p>\n 2Ch 22:4-6<\/p>\n 2Ch 22:4-6<\/p>\n CIRCUMSTANCES LEADING TO THE DEATH OF AHAZIAH<\/p>\n “And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, as did the house of Ahab, for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction. He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth-gilead: and the Syrians wounded Joram. And he returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had given him at Ramoth, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.”<\/p>\n “Joram king of Israel … Jehoram king of Israel” (2Ch 22:5-6). This is another example of alternate names for the same person.<\/p>\n This paragraph reveals that the king of Judah was at that time totally dominated by his mother’s family, namely, the house of Ahab; and by Ahaziah’s leaving his capital city to visit his sick relative in Jezreel, it gave Jehu the opportunity to exterminate both royal houses, both that of Jehoram king of Israel and that of Ahaziah king of Judah.<\/p>\n The first nine verses here are parallel with 2Ki 8:24 b-29, and 9:21,27-28). See our comments under those verses.<\/p>\n E.M. Zerr:<\/p>\n 2Ch 22:4. House of Ahab is the antecedent of they, and sets forth the source of Ahaziah’s training. This bad influence resulted in his destruction. <\/p>\n 2Ch 22:5. There were two men named Jehoram, one a king of Israel and the other a king of Judah. And each of these names also was sometimes spelled “Joram.” Another fact that might cause some confusion was their living and reigning at the same time in a part of their reigns. These thoughts should be kept in mind while reading the names; switching back and forth between Judah and Israel. The influence of evil counsel was shown in that Ahaziah formed an alliance with the king of Israel in warfare. <\/p>\n 2Ch 22:6. In the battle with the Syrians, Joram, king of Israel (the 10 tribes) was wounded and went to Jezreel for treatment. Ahaziah (here called Azariah) further showed his interest in him by visiting him in that city. The outcome will give an instance of the evil consequences of association with unworthy characters. <\/p>\n they were his: 2Ch 24:17, 2Ch 24:18, Pro 1:10, Pro 12:5, Pro 13:20, Pro 19:27 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 1Ki 12:14 – the counsel 2Ki 3:7 – wilt thou go 2Ki 8:27 – the son in law 2Ch 10:14 – the advice 2Ch 28:2 – For he walked Est 5:14 – said Zeresh Psa 109:14 – let not Mar 6:24 – said<\/p>\n 22:4 Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the LORD like the house of Ahab: for they were his {e} counsellors after the death of his father to his destruction.<\/p>\n (e) He shows that it follows that the rulers are as their counsellors are and that there cannot be a good king who allows wicked counsellors.<\/p>\n Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the LORD like the house of Ahab: for they were his counselors after the death of his father to his destruction. 4. after the death of his father ] This phrase suggests that he acted as regent in his father’s lifetime during his father’s two years’ illness. … Continue reading “Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Chronicles 22:4”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11660"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11660\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
