Verse 9

Jehu then searched for Ahaziah, and they captured him while he was hiding in Samaria. They brought him to Jehu and put him to death. However, they buried him, for they said, 'He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the Lord with all his heart.' And there was no one in Ahaziah’s family strong enough to retain the kingdom.
