set up .... king <04428 04427> [made a king.]
Zair <06811> [Zair.]
Zair is supposed by Calmet and others to be the same as Se‹r, the country of Seir the Horite, inhabited by the Edomites or Idumeans. Probably the former was a dialectical pronunciation of the latter.
Edom <0123> [Yet.]
"And so fulfilled. Ge 27:40."

twenty-two <08147 06242> [Two and twenty.]
In the parallel passage of Chronicles, it is said, "forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign;" but this is evidently a mistake, as it makes the son two years older than his own father! For his father began to reign when he was thirty-two years old, and reigned eight years, and so died, being forty years old. See ver. 17, and the Note on 2 Ch 22:2.
