| II Chronicles 22:9
| And he sought for Ochozias himself, and took him lying hid in Samaria: and when he was brought to him, he killed him, and they buried him: because he was the son of Josaphat, who had sought the Lord with all his heart. And there was no more hope that any one should reign of the race of Ochozias.
| Hid in the kingdom of Samaria, (Malvenda) at Mageddo, where he was wounded; though he was perhaps put to death at Jezrahel, 4 Kings 9:27. --- Buried him, at Jerusalem. --- Reign. Hebrew, "the house of Ochozias had no one to bear the weight of the kingdom." The children of the deceased were too young, particularly as most of the princes were slain. (Calmet) --- Human hope failed, but God's providence kept David's issue on the throne, till Christ appeared. (Worthington)
