AHAZIAH’S REIGN, 2 Chronicles 22:1-9.

The reign of this king is narrated in 2Ki 8:25-29 ; 2 Kings 9:16; 2 Kings 9:27-28; where see notes. A comparison of the two accounts will show some differences, but one supplements the other. The camp, in 2 Chronicles 22:1, is probably to be understood of the Jewish camp, in which the older sons of Jehoram were surprised and slain by a band of lawless marauders who accompanied the Arabians to this war.

ATHALIAH’S USURPATION, 2 Chronicles 22:10-12.

See the notes on the parallel passage, 2 Kings 11:1-3.
