22:51-53 The tragic story of the rule of Ahaziah in Israel continues in 2 Kgs 1:1-18. He followed in the evil ways of his parents, Ahab and Jezebel (1 Kgs 21:25-26); he worshiped Baal (2 Kgs 1:2, 16) and supported the state religion instituted by Jeroboam I (1 Kgs 12:28-32). Ahaziah’s accession and statement of character provide closure to the account of Ahab in 1 Kings and a smooth transition to the continuing story of the divided kingdom in 2 Kings.
