2CH-22:1 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his
youngest son king in his stead: for the band of men that came
with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So
Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
2CH-22:2 Forty and two years old [was] Ahaziah when he began to
reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name
also [was] Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
2CH-22:3 He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for
his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly.
2CH-22:4 Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the LORD like the
house of Ahab: for they were his counsellors after the death of
his father to his destruction.
2CH-22:5 He walked also after their counsel, and went with
Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael
king of Syria at Ramothgilead: and the Syrians smote Joram.
2CH-22:6 And he returned to be healed in Jezreel because of the
wounds which were given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael
king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went
down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab at Jezreel, because he was
sick.
2CH-22:7 And the destruction of Ahaziah was of God by coming to
Joram: for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against
Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off
the house of Ahab.
2CH-22:8 And it came to pass, that, when Jehu was executing
judgment upon the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah,
and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, that ministered to
Ahaziah, he slew them.
2CH-22:9 And he sought Ahaziah: and they caught him, (for he was
hid in Samaria,) and brought him to Jehu: and when they had
slain him, they buried him: Because, said they, he [is] the son
of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart. So the
house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom.
2CH-22:10 But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her
son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the
house of Judah.
2CH-22:11 But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash
the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons
that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. 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 slew him not.
2CH-22:12 And he was with them hid in the house of God six years:
and Athaliah reigned over the land.
