2 Chronicles 22:9
Compare all
7 His going to Joram awas God’s occasion for Ahaziah’s downfall; for when he arrived, bhe went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, cwhom the Lord had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.  
8 And it happened, when Jehu was aexecuting judgment on the house of Ahab, and bfound the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s brothers who served Ahaziah, that he killed them.  
9 aThen he searched for Ahaziah; and they caught him (he was hiding in Samaria), and brought him to Jehu. When they had killed him, they buried him, “because,” they said, “he is the son of bJehoshaphat, who csought the Lord with all his heart.” So the house of Ahaziah had no one to assume power over the kingdom.  

Athaliah Reigns in Judah

10 aNow when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal heirs of the house of Judah.  
11 But1 Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took aJoash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were being murdered, and put him and his nurse in a bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah so that she did not kill him.

2 Chronicles 22:9

Compare the marginal reference. Ahaziah after remaining a while at Megiddo, removed to Samaria, where his wounds could be better cared for and concealment might be easier; Jehu' s emissaries discovered him there; they took him to Jehu, who happened at the time to be at Megiddo; and then and there Jehu put him to death. The narrative here is therefore supplementary to that of 2 Kings, and finds its proper place between the clause," He fled to Megiddo," and the words "and died there."

And when they had slain him, they buried him - Jehu' s emissaries killed him but allowed his servants to bury him (see II Kings 9:28).

No power ... - As Ahaziah was but twenty-three at his death (II Chronicles 22:2 note), he had no grown-up son to take the crown.
