And the inhabitants <H3427> of Jerusalem <H3389> made Ahaziah <H0274> his youngest <H6996> son <H1121> king <H4427> in his stead: for the band of men <H1416> that came <H0935> with the Arabians <H6163> to the camp <H4264> had slain <H2026> all the eldest. <H7223> So Ahaziah <H0274> the son <H1121> of Jehoram <H3088> king <H4428> of Judah <H3063> reigned. <H4427>
2
Forty <H0705> and two <H8147> years <H8141> old <H1121> [was] Ahaziah <H0274> when he began to reign, <H4427> and he reigned <H4427> one <H0259> year <H8141> in Jerusalem. <H3389> His mother's <H0517> name <H8034> also [was] Athaliah <H6271> the daughter <H1323> of Omri. <H6018>
3
He also walked <H1980> in the ways <H1870> of the house <H1004> of Ahab: <H0256> for his mother <H0517> was his counsellor <H3289> to do wickedly. <H7561>
4
Wherefore he did <H6213> evil <H7451> in the sight <H5869> of the LORD <H3068> like the house <H1004> of Ahab: <H0256> for they were his counsellors <H3289> after <H0310> the death <H4194> of his father <H0001> to his destruction. <H4889>
5
He walked <H1980> also after their counsel, <H6098> and went <H3212> with Jehoram <H3088> the son <H1121> of Ahab <H0256> king <H4428> of Israel <H3478> to war <H4421> against Hazael <H2371> king <H4428> of Syria <H0758> at Ramothgilead: <H7433> <H1568> and the Syrians <H0761><H7421> smote <H5221> Joram. <H3141>
6
And he returned <H7725> to be healed <H7495> in Jezreel <H3157> because of the wounds <H4347> which were given <H5221> him at Ramah, <H7414> when he fought <H3898> with Hazael <H2371> king <H4428> of Syria. <H0758> And Azariah <H5838> the son <H1121> of Jehoram <H3088> king <H4428> of Judah <H3063> went down <H3381> to see <H7200> Jehoram <H3088> the son <H1121> of Ahab <H0256> at Jezreel, <H3157> because he was sick. <H2470>
7
And the destruction <H8395> of Ahaziah <H0274> was of God <H0430> by coming <H0935> to Joram: <H3141> for when he was come, <H0935> he went out <H3318> with Jehoram <H3088> against Jehu <H3058> the son <H1121> of Nimshi, <H5250> whom the LORD <H3068> had anointed <H4886> to cut off <H3772> the house <H1004> of Ahab. <H0256>
8
And it came to pass, that, when Jehu <H3058> was executing judgment <H8199> upon the house <H1004> of Ahab, <H0256> and found <H4672> the princes <H8269> of Judah, <H3063> and the sons <H1121> of the brethren <H0251> of Ahaziah, <H0274> that ministered <H8334> to Ahaziah, <H0274> he slew <H2026> them.
9
And he sought <H1245> Ahaziah: <H0274> and they caught <H3920> him, (for he was hid <H2244> in Samaria,) <H8111> and brought <H0935> him to Jehu: <H3058> and when they had slain <H4191> him, they buried <H6912> him: Because, said <H0559> they, he [is] the son <H1121> of Jehoshaphat, <H3092> who sought <H1875> the LORD <H3068> with all his heart. <H3824> So the house <H1004> of Ahaziah <H0274> had no power <H3581> to keep <H6113> still the kingdom. <H4467>
10
But when Athaliah <H6271> the mother <H0517> of Ahaziah <H0274> saw <H7200> that her son <H1121> was dead, <H4191> she arose <H6965> and destroyed <H1696> all the seed <H2233> royal <H4467> of the house <H1004> of Judah. <H3063>
11
But Jehoshabeath, <H3090> the daughter <H1323> of the king, <H4428> took <H3947> Joash <H3101> the son <H1121> of Ahaziah, <H0274> and stole <H1589> him from among <H8432> the king's <H4428> sons <H1121> that were slain, <H4191> and put <H5414> him and his nurse <H3243> in a bedchamber. <H2315> <H4296> So Jehoshabeath, <H3090> the daughter <H1323> of king <H4428> Jehoram, <H3088> the wife <H0802> of Jehoiada <H3077> the priest, <H3548> (for she was the sister <H0269> of Ahaziah,) <H0274> hid <H5641> him from <H6440> Athaliah, <H6271> so that she slew <H4191> him not.
12
And he was with them hid <H2244> in the house <H1004> of God <H0430> six <H8337> years: <H8141> and Athaliah <H6271> reigned <H4427> over the land. <H0776>
