Revised Literal Translation
2 Chronicles 22:1-4
1And the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 madeH4427 AhaziahH274 his youngestH6996 sonH1121 kingH4427 in his stead: for the band of menH1416 that cameH935 with the ArabiansH6163 to the campH4264 had slainH2026 all the eldestH7223. So AhaziahH274 the sonH1121 of JehoramH3088 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 reignedH4427.
2TwentyH705 and twoH8147 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was AhaziahH274 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 oneH259 yearH8141 in JerusalemH3389. His mother’sH517 nameH8034 also was AthaliahH6271 the daughterH1323 of OmriH6018.1
3He also walkedH1980 in the waysH1870 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for his motherH517 was his counsellorH3289 to do wickedlyH7561.
4Wherefore he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of YhwhH3068 like the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for they were his counsellorsH3289 afterH310 the deathH4194 of his fatherH1 to his destructionH4889.
Notes
- 1. 2 Chronicles 22:2 Twenty-two years instead of Forty-two as in KJV. One possible explanation for difference is original text was referring dynasty, not Ahaziah's actual age. ↩
