Exegesis
Finally, the negative existential ve-ein {וְאֵין֙ | wə-ʾēn} ‘and there was not’ with the construct le-beit Ahazyahu expresses the absence of anyone able to sustain royal power.
In context — 2 Chronicles 22:9
Then he searched for Ahaziah, and they captured him while he was hiding in Samaria; they brought him to Jehu, and they put him to death and buried him. For they said, “He is the grandson of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.” So there was no one in the house of Ahaziah able to retain strength for the kingdom.
