2 Kings 9:29

Ahaziah of Judah Killed

27 But when Ahaziah king of Judah saw this, he fled by the road to¹ Beth Haggan. So Jehu pursued him, and said, “Shoot him also in the chariot.” And they shot him at the Ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. Then he fled to ^aMegiddo, and died there.

28 And his servants carried him in the chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the City of David.

29 In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king over Judah.

Jezebel’s Violent Death

30 Now when Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; ^aand she put paint on her eyes and adorned her head, and looked through a window.

31 Then, as Jehu entered at the gate, she said, ^a“Is it peace, Zimri, murderer of your master?”

In the eleventh year of Joram - The note in our margin contains as good an account of this chronological difficulty as can be reasonably required: Then he began to reign as viceroy to his father in his sickness; II Chronicles 21:18, II Chronicles 21:19. But in Joram' s twelfth year he began to reign alone; II Kings 8:26.
