2 Chronicles 21:6 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

2 Chronicles 21:6

4 Now when Jehoram was established over the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself and killed all his brothers with the sword, and also others of the princes of Israel.

5 ^aJehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

6 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for he had the daughter of ^aAhab as a wife; and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.

7 Yet the Lord would not destroy the house of David, because of the ^acovenant that He had made with David, and since He had promised to give a lamp to him and to his ^bsons forever.

8 ^aIn his days Edom revolted against Judah’s authority, and made a king over themselves.

HIS WICKED REIGN. (II Chronicles 21:5-7)

he walked . . . as did the house of Ahab, for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife—The precepts and examples of his excellent father were soon obliterated by his matrimonial alliance with a daughter of the royal house of Israel. Through the influence of Athaliah he abolished the worship of the Lord, and encouraged an introduction of all the corruptions prevalent in the sister kingdom. The divine vengeance was denounced against him, and would have utterly destroyed him and his house, had it not been for a tender regard to the promise made to David (II Samuel 7:29; II Kings 8:19).
