God's Sovereign Providence

All the commentators agree that the verse's explicit statement, "the destruction of Ahaziah was of God," highlights divine sovereignty. Scholars explain this was not a random tragedy but an event orchestrated by God's providence. The timing of Ahaziah's visit to Joram, coinciding perfectly with Jehu's rebellion, is presented as clear evidence of God's overruling plan to execute His judgment.
