2 Chronicles 22:6
French (La Bible expliquée)
celui-ci retourna à Jizréel pour soigner ses blessures. Alors Ahazia se rendit à Jizréel pour le voir, puisqu'il était souffrant. Ahazia est désigné comme roi par la population de Jérusalem. La brièveté de son règne s'explique par l'influence négative de la famille d'Achab et l'incapacité du roi à s'en distancer. L'attitude infidèle d'Ahazia va provoquer une série d'événements qui mèneront le roi à la mort. Tout cela se déroule sous le regard de Dieu qui conduit lui-même l'histoire. Sous-jacente à cette compréhension, se trouve toujours la théologie de la rétribution chère aux deux livres des Chroniques.

Historical Background
The Book of 2 Chronicles was written by an unknown author, possibly a priest or a scribe, around the 4th century BC. It was written for the people of Judah to remind them of their history and to encourage them to follow God's laws. The cultural setting is that of the divided kingdom, with frequent conflicts and alliances between Israel and Judah.
Living It Out Today
When we get hurt, physically or emotionally, it's important to seek help and support from others. Just as Azariah went to see Jehoram, we should reach out to friends and family when we're going through difficult times.
