TSK - 2 KINGS 1

 1  Moab rebels.
 2  Ahaziah, sending to Baal-zebub, hath his judgment by
    Elijah.
 5  Elijah twice brings fire from heaven upon them whom Ahaziah
    sent to apprehend him.
13  He pities the third captain, and, encouraged by an angel,
    tells the king of his death.
17  Jehoram succeeds Ahaziah.

VERSE 2 
 - a lattice.
  The flat roofs of the eastern houses are generally surrounded
  by a parapet wall breast high; but instead of this, some
  terraces are guarded with balustrades only, or latticed work.
  Of the same kind, probably, was the lattice, or net, as the
  term {shevacha} seems to import, through which Ahaziah fell
  into the court.  This incident proves the necessity of the law
  for the formation of battlements for roof, (De 22:8,) which
  God graciously dictated from Sinai, which furnishes a
  beautiful example of his paternal care and goodness; for the
  terrace was a place where many offices of the family were
  performed, and business frequently transacted.

  are clothed just as Elijah was, with a hairy garment, girded
  with a leathern girdle.

- on which thou are gone up.
  In the East there is usually at the end of each chamber a
  little gallery, raised three or four feet above the floor,
  with a balustrade in front, to which they go up by a few
  steps:  here they place their beds; an allusion to which
  situation is involved in this declaration of Elijah's, and
  frequently referred to in the Sacred Scriptures:  see Ge 49:4.

   * 2Ki 5:21 Ps 132:3


VERSE 17 
 - Jehoram.
  As it is said in ch. 1 3:1, that he began his reign in the
  eighteenth of Jehoshaphat, it is supposed that Jehoshaphat
  admitted his son Jehoram to reign with him eight or nine years
  before his death.  "The second year that Jehoram was Prorex,
  and the eighteenth of Jehoshaphat."

- in the second.
   * 2Ki 3:1; 8:16,17 1Ki 22:51
