Notes

1 Kings 22:51–53

The sad story of Ahaziah's rule in Israel continues in 2 Kings 1:1–18. He followed the evil ways of his parents, Ahab and Jezebel (1 Kings 21:25–26). He worshiped Baal (2 Kings 1:2, 16) and supported the state religion started by Jeroboam I (1 Kings 12:28–32). Ahaziah’s rise to power and character summary conclude Ahab's story in 1 Kings and smoothly transition to the ongoing story of the divided kingdom in 2 Kings.
