2 Istwa 22

Bib La · Kreyòl Ayisyen

1 Yon bann arab te anvayi kan lame a, yo te touye tout gran pitit gason Joram yo. Sèl Okozyas, dènye pitit gason l' lan, te rete. Se konsa pèp Jerizalèm lan fè Okozyas wa nan plas papa l'. 2 Okozyas te gen venndezan lè li moute wa. Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan yon sèl lanne. Manman l' te rele Atali, pitit fi Akab, pitit pitit fi Omri. 3 Okozyas tou te mache pye pou pye dèyè moun fanmi Akab yo, paske manman l' t'ap ba li move konsèy. 4 Li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a paske, apre lanmò papa l', se lòt moun fanmi Akab yo ki vin sèvi tankou konseye wa a. Se sa ki pèdi l' nèt. 5 Li koute konsèy yo, li mete tèt ansanm ak Joram, pitit pitit Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la, pou al atake Azayèl, wa peyi Siri a. Lame yo kontre yonn ak lòt lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad. Moun Siri yo blese Joram. 6 Joram tounen lavil Jizreyèl pou l' te refè anba blese li te pran nan batay li t'ap mennen kont Azayèl, wa peyi Siri a, lavil Ramòt. Lè sa a, Okozyas moute lavil Jizreyèl pou l' vizite Joram, pitit pitit Akab, paske Joram te malad. 7 Se Bondye ki te fè Okozyas al rann Joram vizit sa a pou l' te ka kraze l'. Rive Okozyas rive, li pati ansanm ak Joram al kontre Jeou, pitit gason Nimchi a, yon moun Bondye te chwazi pou disparèt tout fanmi Akab la. 8 Se konsa, pandan Jeou t'ap regle ak fanmi Akab la, li kontre kèk chèf peyi Jida ak ti fanmi wa Okozyas yo ki t'ap sèvi nan lame Okozyas la. Li touye tout. 9 Apre sa, li mande pou yo chache Okozyas ki te kache nan peyi Samari a. Yo jwenn li, yo mennen l' bay Jeou ki fè yo touye l'. Apre sa, yo antere kadav li, paske yo t'ap di se pitit pitit Jozafa ki te fè sa l' kapab pou l' sèvi Seyè a. Se konsa pa t' rete pesonn nan fanmi Okozyas la ki te ka pran pouvwa a pou gouvènen. 10 Lè Atali, manman Okozyas, vin konnen yo te touye pitit li a, li bay lòd pou yo touye tout rès fanmi wa peyi Jida yo. 11 Men, lè yo t'ap touye pitit wa yo, Jozabèt, pitit fi wa Joram lan, pran Joas, pitit gason Okozyas la, li sere l'. Li kache l' ansanm ak moun ki te sèvi l' nouris la nan yon chanm kote moun dòmi nan Tanp lan. Se konsa, Jozabèt, pitit fi wa Joram lan, sè menm papa ak Okozyas, epi ki te madanm Jeojada, prèt la, te sere Joas san Atali pa konn sa, kifè li pa t' mouri tou. 12 Pandan sizan Joas te rete kache nan Tanp lan ansanm ak moun ki te sèvi l' nouris la. Atali menm t'ap gouvènen peyi a.

2 Istwa 22:1

2Ch 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.

2 Istwa 22:2

2. Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign--(Compare 2Ki 8:26). According to that passage, the commencement of his reign is dated in the twenty-second year of his age, and, according to this, in the forty-second year of the kingdom of his mother's family [Lightfoot]. "If Ahaziah ascended the throne in the twenty-second year of his life, he must have been born in his father's nineteenth year. Hence, it may seem strange that he had older brothers; but in the East they marry early, and royal princes had, besides the wife of the first rank, usually concubines, as Jehoram had (2Ch 21:17); he might, therefore, in the nineteenth year of his age, very well have several sons" [Keil] (compare 2Ch 21:20; 2Ki 8:17).

Athaliah the daughter of Omri--more properly, "granddaughter." The expression is used loosely, as the statement was made simply for the purpose of intimating that she belonged to that idolatrous race.

2 Istwa 22:3-4

3-4. his mother was his counsellor ... they were his counsellors--The facile king surrendered himself wholly to the influence of his mother and her relatives. Athaliah and her son introduced a universal corruption of morals and made idolatry the religion of the court and the nation. By them he was induced not only to conform to the religion of the northern kingdom, but to join a new expedition against Ramoth-gilead (see 2Ki 9:10).

2 Istwa 22:5

5. went ... to war against Hazael, king of Syria--It may be mentioned as a very minute and therefore important confirmation of this part of the sacred history that the names of Jehu and Hazael, his contemporary, have both been found on Assyrian sculptures; and there is also a notice of Ithbaal, king of Sidon, who was the father of Jezebel.

2 Istwa 22:6

6. Azariah went down--that is, from Ramoth-gilead, to visit the king of Israel, who was lying ill of his wounds at Jezreel, and who had fled there on the alarm of Jehu's rebellion.

2 Istwa 22:9

9. he sought Ahaziah, and they caught him (for he was hid in Samaria)--(compare 2Ki 9:27-29). The two accounts are easily reconciled. "Ahaziah fled first to the garden house and escaped to Samaria; but was here, where he had hid himself, taken by Jehu's men who pursued him, brought to Jehu, who was still near or in Jezreel, and at his command slain at the hill Gur, beside Ibleam, in his chariot; that is, mortally wounded with an arrow, so that he, again fleeing, expired at Megiddo" [Keil]. Jehu left the corpse at the disposal of the king of Judah's attendants, who conveyed it to Jerusalem, and out of respect to his grandfather Jehoshaphat's memory, gave him an honorable interment in the tombs of the kings.

So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom--His children were too young to assume the reins of government, and all the other royal princes had been massacred by Jehu (2Ch 22:8).

2Ch 22:10-12. Athaliah, Destroying the Seed Royal Save Joash, Usurps the Kingdom.

2 Istwa 22:10

10. Athaliah ... arose and destroyed all the seed royal--(See on 2Ki 11:1-3). Maddened by the massacre of the royal family of Ahab, she resolved that the royal house of David should have the same fate. Knowing the commission which Jehu had received to extirpate the whole of Ahab's posterity, she expected that he would extend his sword to her. Anticipating his movements, she resolved, as her only defense and security, to usurp the throne and destroy "the seed royal," both because they were hostile to the Phoenician worship of Baal, which she was determined to uphold, and because, if one of the young princes became king, his mother would supersede Athaliah in the dignity of queen mother.

2 Istwa 22:12

12. he was with them hid in the house of God--Certain persons connected with the priesthood had a right to occupy the buildings in the outer wall, and all within the outer wall was often called the temple. Jehoiada and his family resided in one of these apartments.
