8:27 He followed in the footsteps of Ahab’s dynasty and did evil in the sight of43 the Lord, like Ahab’s dynasty, for he was related to Ahab’s family.44
tnHeb “and he walked in the way of the house of Ahab and did evil in the eyes of the Lord like the house of Ahab, for he was a relative by marriage of the house of Ahab.” For this use of חֲתַן (khatan), normally “son-in-law,” see HALOT365s.v.חָתָן. Ahab was Ahaziah’s grandfather on his mother’s side.
