2 Chronicles 22

1And the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 made AhaziahH274 his youngestH6996 sonH1121 kingH4428 in his stead; for the bandH1416 of men that cameH935 in the campH4264 with the Arabians had slainH2026 all the elder onesH7223. And AhaziahH274 the sonH1121 of JehoramH3088 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 reignedH4427. 2AhaziahH274 was twenty-two yearsH8141 old when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 oneH259 yearH8141 in JerusalemH3389; and his mother's nameH8034 was AthaliahH6271, daughterH1323 of OmriH6018. 3He alsoH1571 walkedH1980 in the waysH1870 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256; for his motherH517 wasH1961 his counsellor to do wickedlyH7561. 4And he did evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah like the houseH1004 of AhabH256; for they wereH1961 his counsellors after the deathH4194 of his fatherH1, to his destructionH4889. 5He walkedH1980 alsoH1571 after their counselH6098, and wentH1980 with JehoramH3088 the sonH1121 of AhabH256, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, to the warH4421 against HazaelH2371 the kingH4428 of Syria at Ramoth-Gilead; and the Syrians woundedH5221 JoramH3141. 6And he returnedH7725 to be healedH7495 in Jizreel because of the woundsH4347 that were given him at RamahH7414, when he foughtH3898 with HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of Syria. And AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of JehoramH3088, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, wentH3381 downH3381 to seeH7200 JehoramH3088 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 at Jizreel; for he was sickH2470. 7But his comingH935 to JoramH3141 wasH1961 from 1GodH430 the complete ruin of AhaziahH274. And when he had comeH935, he wentH3318 out with JehoramH3088 against JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250, whom Jehovah had anointedH4886 to cutH3772 off the houseH1004 of AhabH256. 8And it came to pass when JehuH3058 wasH1961 executing judgmentH8199 upon the houseH1004 of AhabH256, that he foundH4672 the princesH8269 of JudahH3063, and the sonsH1121 of the brethren of AhaziahH274, that attended upon AhaziahH274, and he slewH2026 them. 9And he soughtH1245 AhaziahH274; and they caughtH3920 him (for he had hidH2244 himself in SamariaH8111), and broughtH935 him to JehuH3058, and slew him; and they buriedH6912 him, for they saidH559, He is a sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092, who soughtH1245 Jehovah with all his heartH3824. And in the houseH1004 of AhaziahH274 there was no one who was able to [hold] the kingdomH4467. 10And when AthaliahH6271 the motherH517 of AhaziahH274 sawH7200 that her sonH1121 was deadH4191, she roseH6965 up and exterminated all the royal seedH2233 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063. 11But JehoshabeathH3090 the daughterH1323 of the kingH4428 tookH3947 JoashH3101 the sonH1121 of AhaziahH274 and stoleH1589 him from among the king's sonsH1121 that wereH1961 slain, and putH5414 him and his nurse in the bedchamber. So JehoshabeathH3090, the daughterH1323 of kingH4428 JehoramH3088, the wifeH802 of JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 (for she wasH1961 the sisterH269 of AhaziahH274), hidH5641 him from AthaliahH6271, so that she did not slay him; 12and he wasH1961 with them hidH2244 in the houseH1004 of 2GodH430 sixH8337 yearsH8141. And AthaliahH6271 reignedH4427 over the landH776.
