2 Chronicles 22 reports the rise to the throne of Judah of King Acazias, son of Atalia, who ruled for only one year and followed the bad example of his mother and the king of Israel, Ahab. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in this chapter:
1 Kings 16:30-33: "And Ahab, son of Onri, did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord, more than all who were before him ... and Ahab made a little post and thus Ahab He did more to provoke the Lord, God of Israel, the wrath than all the kings of Israel who were before Him. " This verse mentions King Ahab de Israel, which is referenced in 2 Chronicles 22:3 as an example to be followed by Ahaziah.
1 Kings 21:25: "There was no one like Ahab, who sold himself to do evil in the eyes of the Lord, because his wife, Jezebel, incited him." This verse refers to Ahab's wife, Jezebel, who is also mentioned in 2 chronicles 22:2 as the mother of Ahaziah.
2 Kings 9:30-37: This is an account of the death of Jezebel, which is mentioned in 2 Chronicles 22:2 as the mother of Ahaziah. Although not directly related to the reign of Acaziah, it is an example of how Jezebel's wickedness affected those around him.
Proverbs 22:8: "He who sows iniquity will reap problems, and the rod of his anger will be destroyed." This verse highlights the consequence of wickedness, which is a theme present in the reign of Acazias.
Isaiah 1:4: "Ah, sinful nation, people loaded with iniquity, descent of evildoers, children who corrupted themselves! They abandoned the Lord, despised the saint of Israel and rejected him." This verse reflects Judah's condition under the reign of Acazias, who distanced himself from the Lord and followed the evil of his mother and the king of Israel.
