1Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem appointed his youngest son, Ahaziah, as king in his place. For the robbers of the Arabians, who had fallen upon the camp, had put to death all those who were greater by birth before him. And so Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, reigned as king of Judah.stylus2 Chronicles 21:16, 2 Chronicles 21:17, 2 Chronicles 21:16, 2 Chronicles 21:17, 2 Kings 8:242Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri.stylus2 Chronicles 21:6, 1 Kings 16:28, 2 Kings 8:26, 2 Chronicles 21:6, 1 Kings 16:283But he too went forth in the ways of the house of Ahab. For his mother impelled him to act impiously.stylusGenesis 27:12, Genesis 27:13, Genesis 27:12, Genesis 27:13, Deuteronomy 13:64And so he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as the house of Ahab did. For after the death of his father, they were counselors to him, to his destruction.stylusProverbs 13:20, Proverbs 13:20, 2 Chronicles 24:17, 2 Chronicles 24:18, 2 Chronicles 24:175And he walked in their counsels. And he went with Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel, to war against Hazael, the king of Syria, at Ramoth Gilead. And the Syrians wounded Joram.stylusPsalms 1:1, 2 Chronicles 18:3, 2 Kings 8:9, 2 Kings 8:28, 2 Kings 8:296And he returned, so that he might be cured at Jezreel. For he had received many wounds in the above-stated battle. And so Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, descended, so that he might visit Joram, the son of Ahab, at Jezreel, while he was ill.stylus2 Kings 9:15, 2 Kings 9:15, 2 Kings 8:29, 2 Chronicles 22:1, 2 Kings 10:137Indeed, it was the will of God against Ahaziah that he would go to Joram, and when he had gone, that he also would go out with him against Jehu, the son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.stylus2 Kings 9:21, 2 Chronicles 10:15, 2 Kings 9:21, 2 Chronicles 10:15, 1 Kings 12:158Therefore, when Jehu was overthrowing the house of Ahab, he found the leaders of Judah, with the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, who were ministering to him, and he put them to death.stylus2 Kings 10:10, 2 Kings 10:14, 2 Kings 10:10, 2 Kings 10:149Also, while he himself was seeking Ahaziah, he found him to be hiding in Samaria. And having been led to him, he killed him. And they buried him, because he was the son of Jehoshaphat, who had sought the Lord with all his heart. But there was no longer any hope that someone from the stock of Ahaziah would reign.stylus1 Kings 14:13, 2 Kings 9:27, 2 Kings 9:28, 2 Chronicles 21:20, 2 Chronicles 22:110For indeed, his mother, Athaliah, seeing that her son had died, rose up and killed the entire royal stock of the house of Jehoram.stylus2 Kings 11:1, 2 Kings 11:3, 2 Kings 11:1, 2 Kings 11:3, 2 Chronicles 22:211But Jehosheba, the daughter of the king, took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from the midst the king’s sons when they were being slain. And she hid him with his nurse in a bedroom. Now Jehosheba, the one who had hidden him, was the daughter of king Jehoram, and the wife of the high priest Jehoiada, and the sister of Ahaziah. And because of this, Athaliah did not kill him.stylus1 Kings 15:4, 2 Samuel 7:13, 2 Kings 11:2, Proverbs 21:30, Psalms 76:1012Therefore, he was with them, hidden in the house of God, for six years, while Athaliah reigned over the land.stylusHabakkuk 1:12, Psalms 12:8, Psalms 27:5, Psalms 73:18, Psalms 73:19
