Matthew Poole's Concise Commentary

2 Chronicles 22:8

The sons of the brethren of Ahaziah; either properly so called; or the sons of his cousins or near kinsmen, who are oft called brethren; for his brethren were slain, 2 Chronicles 22:8. That ministered to Ahaziah; that came thither to wait upon their king Ahaziah, as is here implied, and withal to visit Joram and his children, as is noted, 2 Kings 10:13.
