Two and twenty: In the parallel passage of Chronicles, it is said, "forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign;" but this is evidently a mistake, as it makes the son two years older than his own father! For his father began to reign when he was thirty-two years old, and reigned eight years, and so died, being forty years old. See note on Kg2 8:17, and see note on Ch2 22:2. one year: Kg2 9:21-27; Ch2 22:5-8 Athaliah: Kg2 11:1, Kg2 11:13-16 daughter: or, grand-daughter, Kg2 8:18 4 Kings (2 Kings) 8:27
