The Danger of Ungodly Counsel
Commentators emphasize that Ahaziah's decision to follow the advice of Ahab's house was a path to ruin. Matthew Henry warns that those who advise us to do wickedly are our worst enemies, counseling us to our own destruction. Charles Ellicott notes that the phrase 'walked after their counsel' is a direct allusion to Psalm 1:1, contrasting Ahaziah's path with that of the blessed man who avoids the counsel of the ungodly.
