Contextual Overview
16Then Jehu rode in a chariot and went to Jezreel, for Joram was lying there. Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram. 17Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel and he saw the company of Jehu as he came, and said, "I see a company." And Joram said, "Take a horseman and send him to meet them and let him say, ‘Is it peace?'" 18So a horseman went to meet him and said, "Thus says the king, ‘Is it peace?'" And Jehu said, "What have you to do with peace? Turn behind me." And the watchman declared saying, "The messenger came to them, but he did not return." 19Then he sent out a second horseman. And he came to them and said, "Thus says the king, ‘Is it peace?'" And Jehu answered, "What have you to do with peace? Turn behind me." 20And the watchman declared saying, "He came up to them, but he did not return; and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives in madness." 21Then Joram said, "Get ready." And they made his chariot ready. Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu and found him in the property of Naboth the Jezreelite. 22Now it happened that when Joram saw Jehu, he said, "Is it peace, Jehu?" And he answered, "What peace, so long as the harlotries of your mother Jezebel and her sorceries are so many?" 23So Joram turned about and fled and said to Ahaziah, "There is deception, O Ahaziah!" 24And Jehu drew his bow with his full strength and struck Joram between his arms; and the arrow went through his heart and he crouched down in his chariot. 25Then Jehu said to Bidkar his officer, "Lift him up and cast him into the property of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite, for I remember when you and I were riding together after Ahab his father, that Yahweh lifted up this oracle against him:

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this,.... That Joram was slain:
he fled by the way of the garden house, which perhaps stood upon the spot where Naboth's vineyard was, turned into a garden by Ahab:
and Jehu followed after him; as far as Samaria, where he was hid, 2 Chronicles 22:9,
and said, smite him also in the chariot; this order he gave to his soldiers, to do to him as he had done to Joram: and they did so,
at the going up to Gur, which is by Ibleam; a city in the tribe of Manasseh, Joshua 17:11,
and he fled to Megiddo; after he was wounded; another city in the same tribe, Joshua 17:11,
and died there; at Megiddo; though some think that from thence he was had by his servants to Samaria, and there hid, and, being found, was brought from thence to Jezreel, where he was slain, and died. Jehu was ordered to destroy the whole house of Ahab, and Ahaziah was of that house by his mother's side, and walked in the way of it, and was in conjunction with it, and perished therewith; this, though here recorded, was after the death of Jezebel, and of the seventy sons of Ahab, and of the brethren of Ahaziah.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
By the way of the garden-house - Or âby the way of Beth-Gan,â which has been conjectured to be another name for En-Gannim, âthe spring of the gardens.â Both are considered identical with Ginaea, the modern Jenin, which lies due south of Jezreeh The road from Jezreel (Zerin) to Jenin passes at first along the plain of Esdraelon, but after a while begins to rise over the Samaritan hills. Here probably was âthe ascent of Gur, by Ibleam,â which may have occupied the site of the modern Jelama. Whether the soldiers attacked him there or not is uncertain. The words, âAnd they did so,â are not in the original.
Megiddo - On its situation, see Joshua 12:21 note; and on the possible reconcilement of this passage with 2 Chronicles 22:9, see the note there.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 27. Fled by the way of the garden — The account of the death of Ahaziah, as given in 2 Chronicles 22:8-9, is very different from that given here: When Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab-he sought Ahaziah; and they caught him, (for he was hid in Samaria,) and brought him to Jehu; and when they had slain him, they buried him. "The current of the story at large is this," says Dr. Lightfoot: "Jehu slayeth Joram in the field of Jezreel, as Ahaziah and Joram were together; Ahaziah, seeing this, flees, and gets into Samaria, and hides himself there. Jehu marcheth to Jezreel, and makes Jezebel dogs' meat: from thence he sends to Samaria for the heads of Ahab's children and posterity: which are brought him by night, and showed to the people in the morning. Then he marcheth to Samaria, and by the way slayeth forty-two of Ahab's kinsmen; and findeth Jehonadab, the father of the Rechabites. Coming into Samaria, he maketh search for Ahaziah: they find him hid, bring him to Jehu, and he commands to carry him up towards Gur, by Ibleam, and there to slay him. It may be, his father Joram had slain his brethren there, as Ahab had done Naboth, in Jezreel. They do so; smite him there in his chariot; and his charioteer driveth away to Megiddo before he dies. The story in the book of Kings is short: but the book of Chronicles shows the order." Lightfoot's Works, vol. i., p. 88.
