2 Chronicles 22:1-9
11Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem made 2Ahaziah, his youngest son, king in his place, for the band of men who came with 3the Arabs to the camp had slain all the older sons. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign. 2Ahaziah was 4twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Athaliah, the 5granddaughter of Omri. 3He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor to do wickedly. 4He did evil in the sight of the Lord like the house of Ahab, for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to 6his destruction. 5He also walked according to their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to wage war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead. But the 78Arameans 9wounded 10Joram. 6So he returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds 11which they had inflicted on him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. And 12Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
7Now 13the destruction of Ahaziah was from God, in that 14he went to Joram. For when he came, 15he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, 16whom the Lord had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab. 817It came about when Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, he found the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s brothers ministering to Ahaziah, and slew them. 918He also sought Ahaziah, and they caught him while he was hiding in Samaria; they brought him to Jehu, put him to death 19and buried him. For they said, “He is the son of Jehoshaphat, 20who sought the Lord with all his heart.” So there was no one of the house of Ahaziah to retain the power of the kingdom.
