2 Chronicles 21:2 meaning and explanation

Jehoram’s brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat, were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah; these were all sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.

2 Chronicles 21:2, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

This verse lists the sons of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, though the text calls him king of Israel here, likely because he ruled over the united people of God or because the writer uses the name broadly. The Chronicler names six brothers of Jehoram, and two of them share the name Azariah, which was common.
