2 Chronicles 22:1

Ahaziah Reigns in Judah

1 Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem made ^aAhaziah his youngest son king in his place, for the raiders who came with the ^bArabians into the camp had killed all the ^colder sons. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, reigned.

2 Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was ^aAthaliah the granddaughter of Omri.

3 He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother advised him to do wickedly.

4 Therefore he did evil in the sight of the Lord, like the house of Ahab; for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction.

5 He also followed their advice, and went with¹ Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.

6 ^aThen he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds which he had received at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.

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.
