24 So Joram rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David. Then aAhaziah his son reigned in his place.
Ahaziah Reigns in Judah
25 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, began to reign.
26 Ahaziah was atwenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the granddaughter of Omri, king of Israel.
27 aAnd he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the Lord, like the house of Ahab, for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
28 Now he went awith Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Syria at bRamoth Gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
29 Then aKing Joram went back to Jezreel to recover from the wounds which the Syrians had inflicted on him at1 Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. bAnd Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
