HIS WICKED REIGN. (Ch2 21:5-7)
he walked . . . as did the house of Ahab, for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife--The precepts and examples of his excellent father were soon obliterated by his matrimonial alliance with a daughter of the royal house of Israel. Through the influence of Athaliah he abolished the worship of the Lord, and encouraged an introduction of all the corruptions prevalent in the sister kingdom. The divine vengeance was denounced against him, and would have utterly destroyed him and his house, had it not been for a tender regard to the promise made to David (Sa2 7:29; Kg2 8:19). |

| He had the daughter of Ahab to wife - This was Athaliah, daughter of Ahab and Jezebel, who was famous for her impieties and cruelty, as was her most profligate mother. It is likely that she was the principal cause of Jehoram's cruelty and profaneness. |
19 Yet the LORD [03068] would [014] not destroy [07843] Judah [03063] for David [01732] his servant's [05650] sake, as he promised [0559] him to give [05414] him alway [03117] a light [05216], and to his children [01121].
29 Therefore now let it please [02974] thee to bless [01288] the house [01004] of thy servant [05650], that it may continue for ever [05769] before [06440] thee: for thou, O Lord [0136] GOD [03069], hast spoken [01696] it: and with thy blessing [01293] let the house [01004] of thy servant [05650] be blessed [01288] for ever [05769].
5 Jehoram [03088] was thirty [07970] and two [08147] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] eight [08083] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389].
6 And he walked [03212] in the way [01870] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478], like as did [06213] the house [01004] of Ahab [0256]: for he had the daughter [01323] of Ahab [0256] to wife [0802]: and he wrought [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the eyes [05869] of the LORD [03068].
7 Howbeit the LORD [03068] would [014] not destroy [07843] the house [01004] of David [01732], because of the covenant [01285] that he had made [03772] with David [01732], and as he promised [0559] to give [05414] a light [05216] to him and to his sons [01121] for ever [03117].
