<p class="tab-1">We here find Ahaziah, the genuine son and successor of Ahab, on the throne of Israel. His reign continued not two years; he died by a fall in his own house, of which, after the mention of the revolt of Moab (<a class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.1.1" href="/passage/?search=2Kgs.1.1">2 Kgs. 1:1</a>), we have here an account. I. The message which, on that occasion, he sent to the god of Ekron, <a class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.1.2" href="/passage/?search=2Kgs.1.2">2 Kgs. 1:2</a>. II. The message he received from the God of Israel, <a class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.1.3-2Kgs.1.8" href="/passage/?search=2Kgs.1.3-2Kgs.1.8">2 Kgs. 1:3-8</a>. III. The destruction of the messengers he sent to seize the prophet, once and again, <a class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.1.9-2Kgs.1.12" href="/passage/?search=2Kgs.1.9-2Kgs.1.12">2 Kgs. 1:9-12</a>. IV. His compassion to, and compliance with, the third messenger, upon his submission, and the delivery of the message to the king himself, <a class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.1.13-2Kgs.1.16" href="/passage/?search=2Kgs.1.13-2Kgs.1.16">2 Kgs. 1:13-16</a>. IV. The death of Ahaziah, <a class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.1.17,2Kgs.1.18" href="/passage/?search=2Kgs.1.17,2Kgs.1.18"><span class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.1.17">2 Kgs. 1:17</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.1.18">18</span></a>. In the story we may observe how great the prophet looks and how little the prince.</p>
