2 Chron. 22:1–9 The Chronicler’s account of Ahaziah’s brief reign (842–841 b.c.) is adapted from 2 Kings 8:24–29; 9:21; 28; 10:13–14. The Chronicler emphasizes the damaging influence of the house of Ahab on the young and ineffectual king; they were his counselors, to his undoing (2 Chron. 22:4b).
2 Chron. 22:5–9 The coup led by Jehu is described in detail in 2 Kings 9:1–28. The Chronicler assumes his readers are familiar with the story. He focuses instead on Ahaziah’s fate, which was ordained by God (compare 2 Chron. 10:15; 24:20).
2 Chron. 22:10–12 With Ahaziah dead, his mother, Athaliah, daughter of Ahab, sets out to kill all of her own grandchildren, that is, all the potential successors to the throne (compare the similar massacre led by her husband, Jehoram; 21:4). However, Jehoshabeath, sister of Ahaziah, manages to save the infant Joash, who will eventually become king. Jehoshabeath is the wife of Jehoiada the high priest, which helps explain how Joash could remain hidden in the temple buildings throughout Athaliah’s rule.
