Commentary on 2 Chronicles 22:10

Theological / Devotional

When Athaliah saw. Verses 10-12 describe Athaliah’s seizure of the government. The parallel record is found in 2 Kings 11:1-3 (see comments there).

Destroyed. Heb. dabar, literally, “spoke,” which some have interpreted as “plotted against,” or “pronounced sentence.” More likely, with a number of Hebrew manuscripts, the LXX, the Syriac, the Targums, and Kings 11:1, we should read ’abad, “destroyed.”
