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.

2 Kings 8:28

The Syrians wounded Joram - Ahaziah went with Joram to endeavor to wrest Ramoth-gilead out of the hands of the Syrians, which belonged to Israel and Judah. Ahab had endeavored to do this before, and was slain there; see I Kings 22:3 (note), etc., and the notes there.
