2 Chronicles 22

1And the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 madeH3605 AhaziahH274 his youngestH6996 sonH1121 kingH4428 in his steadH8478: for the bandH1416 of menH1121 that cameH935 with the Arabians to the campH4264 had slainH2026 allH3605 the eldest. SoH935 AhaziahH274 the sonH1121 of JehoramH3088 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 reignedH4427. 2FortyH705 and twoH8147 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was AhaziahH274 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 one yearH8141 in JerusalemH3389: and his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was AthaliahH6271 the daughterH1323 of OmriH6018. 3He also walkedH1980 in the waysH1870 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for his motherH517 was his counsellor to doH7561 wickedlyH7561. 4And he didH6213 that whichH5869 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, as didH6213 the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for they were his counsellors: afterH310 the deathH4194 of his fatherH1, to his destructionH4889. 5He walkedH1980 also afterH5921 their counselH6098, and wentH1980 with JehoramH3088 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 to warH4421 againstH5921 HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 at Ramoth-gileadH7433: and the Syrians woundedH5221 JoramH3141. 6And he returnedH7725 to be healedH7495 in JezreelH3157 of the woundsH4347 whichH834 they had given him at RamahH7414, when he foughtH3898 againstH854 HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758. And AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of JehoramH3088 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 wentH3381 downH3381 to seeH7200 JehoramH3088 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 in JezreelH3157, becauseH3588 he was sickH2470. 7NowH1961 the destructionH8395 of AhaziahH274 was of GodH430, in that he wentH3318 unto JoramH3141: for when he was comeH935, he wentH3318 outH3318 with JehoramH3088 againstH413 JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250, whomH834 the LORDH3068 had anointedH4886 to cutH3772 offH3772 the houseH1004 of AhabH256. 8And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when JehuH3058 was executingH8199 judgmentH8199 uponH1961 the houseH1004 of AhabH256, that he foundH4672 the princesH8269 of JudahH3063, and the sonsH1121 of the brethrenH251 of AhaziahH274, ministeringH8334 to AhaziahH274, and slewH2026 them. 9And he soughtH1245 AhaziahH274, and they caughtH3920 him, (nowH3588 he was hidingH2244 in SamariaH8111,) and they broughtH935 him to JehuH3058, and slew him; and they buriedH6912 him, for they saidH559; He is the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092, who soughtH1245 the LORDH3068 with allH3605 his heartH3824. And the houseH1004 of AhaziahH274 had noH369 powerH3581 to holdH1875 the kingdomH4467. 10NowH3588 when AthaliahH6271 the motherH517 of AhaziahH274 sawH7200 that herH3605 sonH1121 was deadH4191, sheH3588 aroseH6965 and destroyed allH3605 the seedH2233 royalH4467 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063. 11But JehoshabeathH3090, the daughterH1323 of the kingH4428, tookH3947 JoashH3101 the sonH1121 of AhaziahH274, and stoleH1589 him awayH3947 from among the king’sH4428 sonsH1121 that were slain, and putH5414 him and his nurseH3243 in the bedchamber. SoH3947 JehoshabeathH3090, the daughterH1323 of kingH4428 JehoramH3088, the wifeH802 of JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548, (for sheH1931 was the sisterH269 of AhaziahH274,) hidH5641 him from AthaliahH6271, soH3947 that sheH1931 slew him notH3808. 12And he was with them hidH2244 in the houseH1004 of GodH430 sixH8337 yearsH8141: and AthaliahH6271 reignedH4427 over the landH776.
