Verse

Berean Standard Bible
And
the inhabitants
of Jerusalem cause
Ahaziah his
youngest son to
reign
in his stead
, (for
all
the elder
had the troop
slain
that
came
in
with the Arabians
to
the camp,)
and
Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah reigneth
.
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.
A
son
of
twenty and
two years `is'
Ahaziah
in
his
reigning
, and one
year
he hath
reigned in Jerusalem ,
and
the
name
of
his mother
`is'
Athaliah daughter
of Omri ;
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 .
he
also hath
walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother hath
been
his counsellor
to
do
wickedly
.
Ahaziah
also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was
his counselor
in
wickedness
.
And he doth
the
evil thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah
, like
the house of Ahab, for they have
been
his counsellors,
after the death of his father ,
for
destruction
to
him
.
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.
Also ,
in
their counsel he
hath
walked,
and goeth
with Jehoram
son of Ahab king of Israel to battle
against Hazael king of Aram ,
in
Ramoth-Gilead ,
and
they
of
Ramah
smite
Joram;
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;
and
he turneth
back
to be
healed
in
Jezreel because
of
the wounds with
which
they had smitten
him in
Ramah ,
in
his
fighting
with
Hazael king of Aram. And
Azariah
son of Jehoram king of Judah hath
gone
down to see
Jehoram
son of Ahab, in
Jezreel,
for
he
`is'
sick;
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
from God hath
been
the
destruction
of
Ahaziah,
to come
unto
Joram :
and
in
his
coming
he hath
gone
out with Jehoram
unto
Jehu son of Nimshi, whom Jehovah
anointed to cut
off
the house of Ahab.
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.
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
in
Jehu's
executing judgment with
the house of Ahab, that
he findeth
the heads
of Judah and sons
of
the brethren
of
Ahaziah,
ministers
of Ahaziah, and slayeth
them.
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
he
seeketh
Ahaziah, and they
capture
him ,
(and
he is
hiding himself
in Samaria ),
and
bring
him
in
unto
Jehu ,
and put him
to death ,
and
bury
him, for they said, `
He `
is '
son
of Jehoshaphat, who sought Jehovah
with all his heart ;'
and
there
is
none
to
the house of Ahaziah to retain
power
for
the kingdom.
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
Athaliah mother of Ahaziah hath
seen
that her son is
dead, and
she riseth
and
destroyeth
the
whole
seed
of
the kingdom
of the house of Judah.
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.
And
Jehoshabeath daughter of the
king taketh
Joash son of Ahaziah ,
and stealeth
him from the
midst
of
the sons of the king who are
put
to
death
, and putteth
him and his nurse into
the
inner
part
of
the
bed-chambers,
and
Jehoshabeath daughter of king Jehoram ,
wife of Jehoiada the priest, because
she
hath
been
sister of
Ahaziah
, hideth
him
from the
face
of
Athaliah ,
and
she hath
not put
him to
death
.
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.
And he
is
with them in the house of God hiding
himself
six years ,
and
Athaliah is
reigning
over
the land.
And Joash
remained
hidden
with them in the house of God for
six years while
Athaliah ruled
the land.
