Verse 9

And he sought Ahaziah, and they caught him (for he was hidden in Samaria) and brought him to Jehu, and when they had killed him, they buried him, for they said, 'He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.' So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep the kingdom.
