Everyone celebrated because Athaliah had been killed and Jerusalem was peaceful again.
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he ruled from Jerusalem for only one year. His mother was Athaliah, a granddaughter of King Omri of Israel.
When honest people prosper and the wicked disappear, the whole city celebrates.
The heavens should be happy with God's people and apostles and prophets. God has punished her for them."
