"And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, as did the house of Ahab; for they were his counsellors after the death of his father, to his destruction." — 2 Chronicles 22:4 (ASV)
Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the Lord, like the house of Ahab See (2 Kings 8:27)
for they were his counsellors, after the death of his father, to his destruction; both of soul and body; for they gave him bad advice, both in religious and civil things; these were some of the family or court of the king of Israel, that his mother sent for after his father's death to be of his council.
