Context of 2 Chronicles 22:8
6Joram returned to Jezreel, so that his wounds could get better after the battle. While he was there, King Ahaziah of Judah went to visit him, because of his wounds. 7When Ahaziah visited Joram, God used it to cause Ahaziah's death. When Ahaziah arrived, he went with Joram to meet Nimshi's son Jehu. But the Lord had chosen Jehu to kill all Ahab's family. While Jehu was destroying Ahab's family, he met some of the officers of Judah who had come with Ahaziah. Jehu killed them, as well as some of Ahaziah's relatives who had travelled with him. 9Then he went to look for Ahaziah. Jehu's men caught him in the city of Samaria, where he was hiding. They took him to Jehu. Then they punished him with death. They buried him properly, because they said, ‘He was the grandson of King Jehoshaphat who served the Lord faithfully.’ Now there was nobody in Ahaziah's family who had the authority to rule Judah as king. 10Ahaziah's mother Athaliah heard the news that her son was dead. So she started to kill everyone in Judah's royal family.

Commentaries on 2 Chronicles 22:8
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 7-9Ahaziah died as a punishment for allying with the king of Israel. The king of Judah, who followed the advice of the Israelite house of Omri, shared their fate and found no safety when he died. Ahaziah's unfaithfulness nearly brought David's family line to the same end as Saul's, with no one left to take the throne.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-92Ch 22:1-9. Ahaziah Succeeding Jehoram, Reigns Wickedly. 1. the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah ... king--or Jehoahaz (2Ch 21:17). All his older brothers having been slaughtered by the Arab marauders, the throne of Judah rightfully belonged to him as the only legitimate heir.Read the comment
