Paul Wallis
Yahweh was replaced by a human king
Wallis continues with the story of Ahaziah, another king under Yahweh's rule.
Ahaziah seeks medical advice from a source other than Yahweh, which deeply offends Yahweh.
In response, Yahweh pronounces a death sentence on Ahaziah.
This theme continues through the reigns of David and Ahaziah, illustrating that even when the figure on the throne changes, the underlying system of power remains the same.
