Contextual Overview

1 Y'horam the son of Ach'av began his reign over Isra'el in Shomron during the eighteenth year of Y'hoshafat king of Y'hudah, and he ruled for twelve years. 2 He did what was evil from Adonai 's perspective; but he was not as bad as his father and mother, because he got rid of Ba‘al's standing-stone which his father had made. 3 Nevertheless, he clung to the sins of Yarov‘am the son of N'vat, with which he had led Isra'el into sin; he never turned away from them. 4 Mesha king of Mo'av was a sheep-breeder, and he used to send the king of Isra'el the wool of 100,000 lambs and of 100,000 rams as tribute. 5 But after Ach'av died, the king of Mo'av rebelled against the king of Isra'el.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel. Who then was Ahaziah; but either through the pusillanimity of his temper, or the sickness that attended him, or the shortness of his reign, he took no steps to the reduction of him, or to oblige him to pay his tribute, which he neglected to do, and is meant by his rebellion.
