SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:1
¶ Y los moradores de Jerusalén hicieron rey en lugar suyo a Ocozías su hijo menor; porque el ejército que había venido con los árabes al campo, había muerto a todos los mayores; por lo cual reinó Ocozías, hijo de Joram rey de Judá.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 22:1
Verse 1. Made Ahaziah his youngest son king] All the others had been slain by the Arabians, &c.; see the preceding chapter, chap. xxi. 17.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 1. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead , etc.] He being the only surviving one of the sons of Jehoram, the same with Jehoahaz, ( 2 Chronicles 21:17) who was saved when the rest were taken captive and slain, by his mother Athaliah, and he made his escape, and that she also escaped is clear from ( 2 Chronicles 22:10) for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp ; that is, of the Philistines, ( 2 Chronicles 21:16), which band seems to be a band or company of thieves and robbers, as the Septuagint, cruel and barbarous, as the action ascribed to them shows: [for they] had slain all the eldest ; sons of Jehoram; the Philistines and Arabians only carried them away captives, but those slew them in cold blood: so Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned ; being declared his successor by the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Matthew Henry Commentary
The reign of Ahaziah, Athaliah destroys the royal family. --The counsel of the ungodly ruins many young persons when they ar setting out in the world. Ahaziah gave himself up to be led by evi men. Those who advise us to do wickedly, counsel us to our destruction while they pretend to be friends, they are our worst enemies. See an dread the mischief of bad company. If not the infection, yet let thy destruction be feared, Re 18:4. We have here, a wicked woma endeavouring to destroy the house of David, and a good woman preservin it. No word of God shall fall to the ground. The whole truth of the prophecies that the Messiah was to come from David, and thereby the salvation of the world, appeared to be now hung upon the brittle threa of the life of a single infant, to destroy whom was the interest of the reigning power. But God had purposed, and vain were the efforts of earth and hell __________________________________________________________________
