2 Chronicles Chapter 22 Discussion

So , Jehoram is Ahaziahs father . 2nd Kings Ch 8 V 16+17 tells us that Jehoram was 32 yrs old when he began his reign and he reigned 8 years , that makes him 40 yrs old when he died . 2nd Chronicles Ch 21 agrees with 2nd Kings on this matter . So if Jehoram was dead by the time he was 40 then he couldn't have a 42yr old son as stated in 2nd Chronicles Ch 21+ Ch 22. Therefore Ahaziah could not have been 42 yrs old when he began his reign as it says in 2nd Chronicles ,he must have been 22 as it says in 2nd Kings . Phew .

2 Timothy 2:15

Please also read 2 Kings 3, 2 Kings 12, 2 Kings 13, 2 Kings 14:1-3, pay very close attention to the differences because in these accounts it clarifies who the scripture refers to by details not necessarily the "name of the individual" there are very similar names buth differences in Jerusalem, Israel, Syria, differences in parents & even who they fought against. Significant details that should help you break down for truth. Please note also in 2 Kings the reigning of the son clearly seems to overlap as you described. Just like King David when he was still alive & sick, yet they both would retain "title". 2 Kings 13:1,9,

2 Kings 9:1-9, 2 Kings 9:11-12 King of Israel, Jehu. 2 Kings 9:14-16, Jehu "conspired against Joram. (Hazel king of Syria)

vrs 16. * Ahaziah king of Judah * 2 Kings 9:21, 2 Kings 9:22-24, 2 Kings 9:27,28 details buried in City of David. 2 Kings 9:29,

2 Kings 8:7-15 "Hazael king of Syria" same guy? 2 Kings 10:31-32, 2 Kings 34-36,

2 Kings 8:16-24,

2 Kings 8:25-29, 22 yrs old Ahaziah over Jerusalem 1 yr,

* 2 Kings 11:1-4 son of Ahaziah, keep reading 2 Kings 11:5-21, * (Son in biblical terms goes many generations) example: John 8:39

This may be the account that clarifies the distinction you're looking for.

1 Kings 22:51-53 details, 2 yrs over Israel Ahaziah,

Hopefully this is helpful

In chapter 21:17 Jehorams last and youngest son is Jehoahaz , but in chapter 22:1 it says his youngest son is Ahaziah? My questions are why are they listing two different people as his youngest son? The other question is if Jehoram was 32 when he became king and he reigned 8 years and died then that should make him 40 at his death. How could he have a 42 year old son that reigned after him? Thanks for any imput. Just for kicks I looked in a living bible and they list Ahaziahs age when he began his reign at 22 yrs old.

Ali Omar; Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat was married to Athaliah the daughter of Ahab as a condition of the Peace Agreement between Israel and Judah. This was a terrible blindness and poor judgment in Jehoshaphat that almost destroyed the sacred line of Christ. In fact when we read Jesus' genealogy in Matthew we will notice three generations have been omitted as a result between Joram and Uzziah.

Ahaziah was the king that began to reign at age 42 Athaliah was his mother and I didn't see where it said how old she was.

how could Ahaziah have died at 40, and had a 42 year old son?

Why did Jehoram in 2 chron. 21 die in a different way than the Jehoram in 2 kings 9:24?

Jehoahaz mentioned in 2Chronicles 21:17 is the same person whom is called Ahaziah in 2Chronicles 22:1.

He is also called Azariah in 2Chronicles 22:6.

To answer your question:
Both verses are correct, because they are talking about the same person.

hello, im confused. In the previous chap 21 V16-20 it says jehoahaz was left as far as the kings sons went, but in this chap it says that Ahaziah was made king??? which one is correct
