Barnes' Notes
Compare the marginal reference. Ahaziah after remaining a while at Megiddo, removed to Samaria, where his wounds could be better cared for and concealment might be easier; Jehu' s emissaries discovered him there; they took him to Jehu, who happened at the time to be at Megiddo; and then and there Jehu put him to death. The narrative here is therefore supplementary to that of 2 Kings, and finds its proper place between the clause," He fled to Megiddo," and the words "and died there."
And when they had slain him, they buried him - Jehu' s emissaries killed him but allowed his servants to bury him (see II Kings 9:28).
No power ... - As Ahaziah was but twenty-three at his death (II Chronicles 22:2 note), he had no grown-up son to take the crown.
