And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the Lord, as did the house of Ahab,.... Worshipping the calves, and Baal also:
for he was the son in law of the house of Ahab; he was the son of Jehoram, who was son-in-law to Ahab, having married his daughter, which accounts for his being guilty of the same idolatrous practices.
Ahaziah, like his father, reigned in the spirit of Ahab, because he allowed his mother to act as his adviser (2-Chronicles 22:3-4).
