The word "house" is a metonym for the family that lives in the house. In this case it refers to the descendants of Ahab. See how you translated this in [2 Chronicles 21:6](../21/06.md). AT: "the descendants of Ahab were doing" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
# they were his advisors
"descendants of Ahab advised him"
# to his destruction
"and this caused his destruction"
# He also followed their advice; he went
"He also followed their advice and went" or "He also followed their advice to go"
# to fight against Hazael, king of Aram
The reader should understand that Hazael did not fight alone, but that he took his army with him. AT: "to fight against Hazael, king of Aram, and his army" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])
