2 Crônicas 22

Bíblia Livre (BLIVRE) · Português

1 E os moradores de Jerusalém fizeram rei em lugar seu a Acazias seu filho menor: porque a tropa havia vindo com os árabes ao campo, havia morto a todos os maiores; por o qual reinou Acazias, filho de Jeorão rei de Judá. 2 Quando Acazias começou a reinar era de quarenta e dois anos, e reinou um ano em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe foi Atalia, filha de Onri. 3 Também ele andou nos caminhos da casa de Acabe: porque sua mãe lhe aconselhava a agir impiamente. 4 Fez, pois, o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, como a casa de Acabe; porque depois da morte de seu pai, eles lhe aconselharam para sua perdição. 5 E ele andou nos conselhos deles, e foi à guerra com Jeorão filho de Acabe, rei de Israel, contra Hazael rei da Síria, a Ramote de Gileade, de onde os sírios feriram a Jeorão. 6 E se voltou para curar-se em Jezreel das feridas que lhe haviam feito em Ramá, lutando com Hazael rei da Síria. E desceu Azarias filho de Jeorão, rei de Judá, a visitar a Jeorão filho de Acabe, em Jezreel, porque ali estava enfermo. 7 Isto, porém, vinha de Deus, para que Acazias fosse abatido vindo a Jeorão: porque sendo vindo, saiu com Jeorão contra Jeú filho de Ninsi, ao qual o SENHOR havia ungido para que exterminasse a casa de Acabe. 8 E foi que, fazendo juízo Jeú com a casa de Acabe, achou aos príncipes de Judá, e aos filhos dos irmãos de Acazias, que serviam a Acazias, e matou-os. 9 E buscando a Acazias, o qual se havia escondido em Samaria, tomaram-no, e trouxeram-no a Jeú, e lhe mataram; e deram-lhe sepultura, porque disseram: É filho de Josafá, o qual buscou ao SENHOR de todo seu coração. E a casa de Acazias não tinha forças para para manter o reino. 10 Então Atalia mãe de Acazias, vendo que seu filho era morto, levantou-se e destruiu toda a descendência real da casa de Judá. 11 Porém Jeosebate, filha do rei, tomou a Joás filho de Acazias, e tirou-o dentre os filhos do rei, que foram mortos, e guardou a ele e a sua ama na câmara dos leitos. Assim pois o escondeu Jeosebate, filha do rei Jeorão, mulher de Joiada o sacerdote, (porque ela era irmã de Acazias), de diante de Atalia, e não o mataram. 12 E esteve com eles escondido na casa de Deus durante seis anos. E Atalia reinava naquela terra.

2 Crônicas 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 Crônicas 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 Crônicas 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 Crônicas 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 Crônicas 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 Crônicas 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 Crônicas 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 Crônicas 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.
