Exegesis
The Hitpael participle mitchabeh {מִתְחַבֵּ֣א | mit-ḥa-bêʾ} ‘hiding’ sets the scene in Shomron {בְשֹֽׁמְרוֹן | bə-šom-rôn} ‘Samaria.’
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.
