2Ch 22:7-9 | MHM | STEP | v. 7-9 : Ahaziah’s visit to Joram was part of God’s plan to bring judgment on him. Jehu, who had been anointed to destroy Ahab’s house, found Ahaziah and killed him. Ahaziah was buried because he was the grandson of Jehoshaphat, who had sought the Lord with all his heart (2 Chronicles 22:7-9 ). This shows that even though Ahaziah was wicked, some respect was shown to him because of his godly ancestor. The memory of the just is blessed, but the name of the wicked shall rot (Proverbs 10:7 ).
