In our passage there are four assaults on the Davidic dynasty.
- In 21:4, Jehoram kills all his brothers.
- In 21:17, the Philistines and Arabians kill all the sons and wives of Jehoram (except one).
- In 22:8-9, Jehu slaughters the princes of Judah and sons of Ahaziah's brothers.
- And in 22:10-11, Athaliah kills the rest (except one).
In three of the four assaults, only one heir of David is left alive.
And yet, as we hear in 21:7, “the LORD was not willing to destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and since he had promised to give a lamp to him and to his sons forever.”
Some would say that because the true Son of David has come, therefore we no longer have to worry about this sort of judgment; but the book of Revelation speaks of how “that woman Jezebel” has wormed her way into the heart of the church at Thyatira. And Jesus warns that he will destroy those who refuse to repent of her works, “and I will strike all her children dead.” (Revelation 2:23).
The Foul Seed of Ahab remains a threat to the church, because anyone who shares in her whoredom forsakes the living God!
