Matthew Henry Commentary 1 Kings 22:51-53

"Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned two years over Israel. And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherein he made Israel to sin. And he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger Jehovah, the God of Israel, according to all that his father had done." — 1 Kings 22:51-53 (ASV)

Ahaziah's reign was very short, not two years; some sinners God makes quick work of. A very bad account is given of him: he did not listen to instruction and took no warning, but followed the example of his wicked father and the counsel of his more wicked mother, Jezebel, who was still living.

Miserable are the children who not only inherit a sinful nature from their parents but are taught by them to increase it; and most unhappy are those parents who help to damn their children's souls. Hardened sinners rush forward, unawed and unmoved, in the ways from which others before them have been driven into everlasting misery.
