Then
the people
of Jerusalem made Ahaziah ,
the
youngest son of
Jehoram,
king in his place,
since
the
raiders
who
had
come
into
the camp
with the Arabs
had killed
all the older
sons
. So Ahaziah son of Jehoram became
king of Judah.
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
.
Ahaziah
was
twenty-
two years old when he became
king,
and he reigned in
Jerusalem
one year .
His mother’s
name was Athaliah ,
the granddaughter
of Omri.
Forty
and
two years old was
Ahaziah
when he began
to
reign;
and he reigned one year in
Jerusalem:
and
his mother's
name was Athaliah the daughter
of Omri.
Ahaziah
also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab ,
for his mother was his counselor
in
wickedness
.
He
also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab ;
for his mother was his counsellor
to
do
wickedly
.
And he did evil in the sight of the
LORD
, as the house of Ahab had
done,
for to
his
destruction
they were his counselors
after the death of his father.
And he did that
which
was
evil in the sight of Jehovah
, as did
the house of Ahab ;
for they were his counsellors
after the death of his father ,
to
his
destruction
.
Ahaziah
also followed
their counsel and went with Joram
son of Ahab king of Israel to fight
against Hazael king of Aram
at Ramoth-gilead .
But
the Arameans
wounded Joram ;
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 Ramoth-gilead :
and
the Syrians
wounded Joram .
so
he returned to Jezreel to
recover
from
the wounds they had inflicted
on
him at Ramah when he fought against Hazael king of Aram
. Then
Ahaziah
son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to Jezreel
to
visit
Joram
son of Ahab, because Joram
had
been
wounded
.
And
he returned to be
healed
in
Jezreel of
the wounds which
they had given
him at Ramah ,
when he fought against Hazael king of Syria
. And
Azariah
the
son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see
Jehoram
the
son of Ahab in
Jezreel
, because he
was
sick
.
Ahaziah’s
downfall
came
from
God when
he went to
visit
Joram .
When Ahaziah
arrived
, he went out with Joram
to
meet
Jehu son of Nimshi, whom the
LORD
had anointed to destroy
the house of Ahab.
Now
the
destruction
of
Ahaziah
was
of
God ,
in
that
he went unto
Joram :
for
when he
was
come
, he went out with Jehoram
against
Jehu the
son of Nimshi, whom Jehovah
had anointed to cut
off
the house of Ahab.
So
while
Jehu was executing judgment on
the house of Ahab, he found the rulers
of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s
brothers
who
were
serving
Ahaziah, and he
killed
them.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Jehu was executing judgment upon
the house of Ahab, that
he found the princes
of Judah ,
and the sons of the
brethren
of
Ahaziah, ministering
to
Ahaziah,
and slew
them.
Then
Jehu
looked
for
Ahaziah, and Jehu’s
soldiers
captured
him while
he was hiding in Samaria .
So
Ahaziah
was
brought to Jehu and put
to
death.
They buried him, for they said, “
He is the grandson
of Jehoshaphat, who sought the
LORD
with all his heart. ”
So
no
one
was
left
from
the house of Ahaziah with
the
strength
to rule
the kingdom.
And
he
sought
Ahaziah, and they
caught
him (now
he was hiding in Samaria ),
and
they
brought him
to Jehu ,
and slew
him;
and
they buried him, for they said, He is the son
of Jehoshaphat, who sought Jehovah
with all his heart. And
the house of Ahaziah had
no
power
to hold
the kingdom.
When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded
to
annihilate
all the royal heirs
of the house of Judah.
Now
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.
But Jehoshabeath daughter of King Jehoram
took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the sons of
the
king
who
were being
murdered
, and she
put him and his nurse in a
bedroom
. Because
Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram and
the wife of Jehoiada the priest ,
was Ahaziah’s
sister, she
hid Joash
from Athaliah so that she could
not
kill
him.
But Jehoshabeath ,
the
daughter of the
king ,
took Joash the
son of Ahaziah ,
and stole him away from among the king's
sons that
were slain
, and put him and his nurse in the
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
.
And Joash
remained
hidden
with them in the house of God for
six years while
Athaliah ruled
the land.
And he
was
with them hid
in the house of God six years :
and
Athaliah reigned
over
the land.
