2 Chronicles 22:1-9

11Then the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 madeH4427 2AhaziahH274, his youngestH6996 sonH1121, kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478, for the bandH1416 ofH1416 menH1416 who cameH935 with 3the ArabsH6163 to the campH4264 had killedH2026 allH3605 the olderH7223 sons. So AhaziahH274 the sonH1121 of JehoramH3088 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began to reignH4427. 2AhaziahH274 was 4twenty-twoH705H8147 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he becameH4427 kingH4427, and he reignedH4427 for oneH259 yearH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was AthaliahH6271, the 5granddaughterH1323 of OmriH6018. 3He alsoH1571 walkedH1980 in the waysH1870 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256, for his motherH517 was his counselorH3289 to actH7561 wickedlyH7561. 4So he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068 like the houseH1004 of AhabH256, for they were his counselorsH3289 afterH310 the deathH4194 of his fatherH1, to 6his own destructionH4889. 5He alsoH1571 walkedH1980 by their counselH6098, and wentH1980 with JehoramH3088 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 to wageH4421 warH4421 againstH5921 HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of AramH758 at Ramoth-gileadH7433. But the 7ArameansH761 8woundedH5221 9JoramH3141. 6So he returnedH7725 to be healedH7495 in JezreelH3157 of the woundsH4347 10whichH834 they had inflictedH5221 on him at RamahH7414, when he foughtH3898 againstH854 HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of AramH758. And 11AhaziahH274, the sonH1121 of JehoramH3088 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, wentH3381 downH3381 to seeH7200 JehoramH3088 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 in JezreelH3157, becauseH3588 he wasH2470 sickH2470.

7Now 12the destructionH8395 of AhaziahH274 was from GodH430, in that 13he wentH935 to JoramH3141. For when he arrivedH935, 14he wentH3318 outH3318 with JehoramH3088 againstH413 JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250, 15whomH834 the LordH3068 had anointedH4886 to eliminateH3772 the houseH1004 of AhabH256. 816And it cameH1961 aboutH1961, when JehuH3058 was executingH8199 judgmentH8199 on the houseH1004 of AhabH256, that he foundH4672 the princesH8269 of JudahH3063 and the sonsH1121 of Ahaziah’sH274 brothersH251 attendingH8334 to AhaziahH274, and killedH2026 them. 917He also searchedH1245 for AhaziahH274, and they caughtH3920 him while he was hidingH2244 in SamariaH8111; they broughtH935 him to JehuH3058, putH4191 him toH4191 deathH4191, 18and buriedH6912 him. For they saidH559, “He is the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092, 19whoH834 soughtH1875 the LordH3068 with allH3605 his heartH3824.” So thereH369 wasH369 noH369 oneH369 of the houseH1004 of AhaziahH274 to retainH6113 the powerH3581 of the kingdomH4467.
