Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
Moab broke away from Israel's dominion immediately after the death of Ahab. The revolt became an open war with Moab under Ahaziah, Ahab's successor on the throne. For Israel the struggle was disastrous.
The calamity was an expression of God's wrath against Ahaziah for his rebellion against God and his sins. It stands together with the king's injurious accident as a united witness of divine judgment resting upon him.
