2Ki 1:17 | MHM | STEP | v. 17 : The prophecy came true. Ahaziah died, just as Elijah had said (2 Kings 1:17 ). Since Ahaziah had no son, his brother Jehoram became king. Ahaziah’s father ruled for twenty-two years, but Ahaziah ruled less than two. Sometimes wicked people live long, but others die quickly. In the end, evil always catches up with sinners, especially those who honor false gods and reject God’s word.
