No one in the house of Ahaziah powerful enough to retain the kingdom

2 Chronicles 22:1-12
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, a grand-daughter of Omari.
He too walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother encouraged him in doing wrong.
Jeho put him to death. They buried him, for they said, “He was a son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the Lord with all his heart.” So there was no one in the house of Ahaziah powerful enough to retain the kingdom.
When Athalish the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to destroy the whole royal family of the house of Judah. She ruled the land.
Ahaziah learnt nothing from his father’s horrible end. Friendship with Israel led directly to his death in Jerusalem purge.
Ahaziah’ s infant son Josh is the rightful heir. But so many of the royal family have been wiped out that the queen mother is able to make her bid for the throne unchallenged.
Why?
Ahaziah doing wrong because his mother encouraged him.
For the sake of Jehoshaphat make alian with Ahab, even he sought the Lord with all his heart, but no one in the house of Ahaziah to retain the kingdom.
Left the Lord there are killing and destroy and ruin in the nation.

自從約沙法與亞哈王結親後，南國就受到北國的影響。
大衛家 家族，受到北國所控制。包括信仰也在北國影響下。歷史在神的手中，神的方法是拆毀再重新建造，只是目前還沒有到拆毀的時間。
神揀選耶戶去討亞哈家，剛好遇到亞哈謝去訪問北國，亞哈謝同時被殺。
雅他利亞篡奪王位，宮庭政變。六年時間約阿施可以在聖殿中長大，受到聖經的教導，不致受到奶奶的錯誤教導。先生約蘭、兒子亞哈謝都受到影響，第三代反而因此受到律法的教導。一方面軍剪除這兩代不信主，同時建立第三代行耶和華話語的王。
神透過耶戶、王室的宮庭政變，將世俗的文化除去。神將道的種子重新栽植在我們心裏面。

Search the Lord with all our heart and aware of the sin such as proud and walk on our way.
