And the inhabitants{H3427} of Jerusalem{H3389} made{H4427} Ahaziah{H274} his youngest{H6996} son{H1121} king{H4427} in his stead: for the band of men{H1416} that came{H935} with the Arabians{H6163} to the camp{H4264} had slain{H2026} all the eldest.{H7223} So Ahaziah{H274} the son{H1121} of Jehoram{H3088} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} reigned.{H4427}

Forty{H705} and two{H8147} years{H8141} old{H1121} was Ahaziah{H274} when he began to reign;{H4427} and he reigned{H4427} one{H259} year{H8141} in Jerusalem:{H3389} and his mother's{H517} name{H8034} was Athaliah{H6271} the daughter{H1323} of Omri.{H6018}

He also walked{H1980} in the ways{H1870} of the house{H1004} of Ahab;{H256} for his mother{H517} was his counsellor{H3289} to do wickedly.{H7561}

And he did{H6213} that which was evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of Jehovah,{H3068} as did the house{H1004} of Ahab;{H256} for they were his counsellors{H3289} after{H310} the death{H4194} of his father,{H1} to his destruction.{H4889}

He walked{H1980} also after their counsel,{H6098} and went{H3212} with Jehoram{H3088} the son{H1121} of Ahab{H256} king{H4428} of Israel{H3478} to war{H4421} against Hazael{H2371} king{H4428} of Syria{H758} at Ramoth-gilead:{H7433} and the Syrians{H7421} wounded{H5221} Joram.{H3141}

And he returned{H7725} to be healed{H7495} in Jezreel{H3157} of the wounds{H4347} which they had given{H5221} him at Ramah,{H7414} when he fought{H3898} against Hazael{H2371} king{H4428} of Syria.{H758} And Azariah{H5838} the son{H1121} of Jehoram{H3088} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} went down{H3381} to see{H7200} Jehoram{H3088} the son{H1121} of Ahab{H256} in Jezreel,{H3157} because he was sick.{H2470}

Now the destruction{H8395} of Ahaziah{H274} was of God,{H430} in that he went{H935} unto Joram:{H3141} for when he was come,{H935} he went out{H3318} with Jehoram{H3088} against Jehu{H3058} the son{H1121} of Nimshi,{H5250} whom Jehovah{H3068} had anointed{H4886} to cut off{H3772} the house{H1004} of Ahab.{H256}

And it came to pass, when Jehu{H3058} was executing judgment{H8199} upon the house{H1004} of Ahab,{H256} that he found{H4672} the princes{H8269} of Judah,{H3063} and the sons{H1121} of the brethren{H251} of Ahaziah,{H274} ministering{H8334} to Ahaziah,{H274} and slew{H2026} them.

And he sought{H1245} Ahaziah,{H274} and they caught{H3920} him (now he was hiding{H2244} in Samaria),{H8111} and they brought{H935} him to Jehu,{H3058} and slew{H4191} him; and they buried{H6912} him, for they said,{H559} He is the son{H1121} of Jehoshaphat,{H3092} who sought{H1875} Jehovah{H3068} with all his heart.{H3824} And the house{H1004} of Ahaziah{H274} had no power{H3581} to hold{H6113} the kingdom.{H4467}

Now when Athaliah{H6271} the mother{H517} of Ahaziah{H274} saw{H7200} that her son{H1121} was dead,{H4191} she arose{H6965} and destroyed{H1696} all the seed{H2233} royal{H4467} of the house{H1004} of Judah.{H3063}

But Jehoshabeath,{H3090} the daughter{H1323} of the king,{H4428} took{H3947} Joash{H3101} the son{H1121} of Ahaziah,{H274} and stole{H1589} him away from among{H8432} the king's{H4428} sons{H1121} that were slain,{H4191} and put{H5414} him and his nurse{H3243} in the bedchamber.{H2315} So Jehoshabeath,{H3090} the daughter{H1323} of king{H4428} Jehoram,{H3088} the wife{H802} of Jehoiada{H3077} the priest{H3548} (for she was the sister{H269} of Ahaziah),{H274} hid{H5641} him from{H6440} Athaliah,{H6271} so that she slew{H4191} him not.

And he was with them hid{H2244} in the house{H1004} of God{H430} six{H8337} years:{H8141} and Athaliah{H6271} reigned{H4427} over the land.{H776}
