And he sought Ahaziah: and they caught him, (for he was hid in Samaria,) and brought him to Jehu: and when they had slain him, they buried him: Because, said they, he [is] the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom.
2 Chronicles 22:9 — KJV
Sought Ahaziah. Ahaziah was wounded by his pursuers at “the going up to Gur,” near Ibleam (2 Kings 9:27), while evidently fleeing south toward Jerusalem. He changed his course, for he was taken in hiding, but was apprehended and taken to Jehu. On the possible route of his flight see on Kings 9:27.
Buried him. His burial was “in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David” (2 Kings 9:28). It thus seems that Ahaziah was buried in the sepulchers of the kings, unlike his father Jehoram, to whom this final honor was refused (2 Chron. 21:20).
To keep still. Better, “to retain.” There was none of Ahaziah’s posterity who was able to rule the kingdom. He was only about 23 years old at his death (see 2 Kings 8:26) and thus would have no sons old enough to take the throne. This observation forms the introduction to the narrative of Athaliah’s usurpation of the crown.
