2 Chronicles 22:4-5

22:4 He did evil in the sight of ¹  the Lord like Ahab’s dynasty because, after his father’s death, they ²  gave him advice that led to his destruction. 22:5 He followed their advice and joined Ahab’s son King Joram ³  of Israel in a battle against King Hazael of Syria ⁴  at Ramoth Gilead in which the Syrians defeated Joram.

[22:4]  ¹ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[22:4]  ² tn That is, the members of Ahab’s royal house.

[22:5]  ³ sn Jehoram and Joram are alternate spellings of the Israelite king’s name (also in vv. 6-7). The shorter form is used in these verse to avoid confusion with King Jehoram of Judah, father of Azariah.

[22:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “Aram” (also in v. 6).
