And the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ made Ahaziah²⁷⁴ his youngest⁶⁹⁹⁶ son¹¹²¹ king⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead: for the band of men¹⁴¹⁶ that came⁹³⁵ with the Arabians⁶¹⁶³ to the camp⁴²⁶⁴ had slain²⁰²⁶ all the eldest.⁷²²³ So Ahaziah²⁷⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ reigned.⁴⁴²⁷

Forty⁷⁰⁵ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ was Ahaziah²⁷⁴ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ one²⁵⁹ year⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹ His mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ also was Athaliah⁶²⁷¹ the daughter¹³²³ of Omri.⁶⁰¹⁸

He also walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ahab:²⁵⁶ for his mother⁵¹⁷ was his counsellor³²⁸⁹ to do wickedly.⁷⁵⁶¹

Wherefore he did⁶²¹³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ like the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ahab:²⁵⁶ for they were his counsellors³²⁸⁹ after³¹⁰ the death⁴¹⁹⁴ of his father¹ to his destruction.⁴⁸⁸⁹

He walked¹⁹⁸⁰ also after their counsel,⁶⁰⁹⁸ and went³²¹² with Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahab²⁵⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to war⁴⁴²¹ against Hazael²³⁷¹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria⁷⁵⁸ at Ramothgilead:⁷⁴³³ and the Syrians⁷⁶¹ smote⁵²²¹ Joram.³¹⁴¹

And he returned⁷⁷²⁵ to be healed⁷⁴⁹⁵ in Jezreel³¹⁵⁷ because of the wounds⁴³⁴⁷ which were given⁵²²¹ him at Ramah,⁷⁴¹⁴ when he fought³⁸⁹⁸ with Hazael²³⁷¹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria.⁷⁵⁸ And Azariah⁵⁸³⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ went down³³⁸¹ to see⁷²⁰⁰ Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahab²⁵⁶ at Jezreel,³¹⁵⁷ because he was sick.²⁴⁷⁰

And the destruction⁸³⁹⁵ of Ahaziah²⁷⁴ was of Elohim⁴³⁰ by coming⁹³⁵ to Joram:³¹⁴¹ for when he was come,⁹³⁵ he went out³³¹⁸ with Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ against Jehu³⁰⁵⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Nimshi,⁵²⁵⁰ whom Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ had anointed⁴⁸⁸⁶ to cut off³⁷⁷² the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ahab.²⁵⁶

And it came to pass, that, when Jehu³⁰⁵⁸ was executing judgment⁸¹⁹⁹ upon the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ahab,²⁵⁶ and found⁴⁶⁷² the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and the sons¹¹²¹ of the brethren²⁵¹ of Ahaziah,²⁷⁴ that ministered⁸³³⁴ to Ahaziah,²⁷⁴ he slew²⁰²⁶ them.

And he sought¹²⁴⁵ Ahaziah:²⁷⁴ and they caught³⁹²⁰ him, (for he was hid²²⁴⁴ in Samaria,)⁸¹¹¹ and brought⁹³⁵ him to Jehu:³⁰⁵⁸ and when they had slain⁴¹⁹¹ him, they buried⁶⁹¹² him: Because, said⁵⁵⁹ they, he is the son¹¹²¹ of Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² who sought¹⁸⁷⁵ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ with all his heart.³⁸²⁴ So the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ahaziah²⁷⁴ had no power³⁵⁸¹ to keep⁶¹¹³ still the kingdom.⁴⁴⁶⁷

But when Athaliah⁶²⁷¹ the mother⁵¹⁷ of Ahaziah²⁷⁴ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that her son¹¹²¹ was dead,⁴¹⁹¹ she arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ and destroyed¹⁶⁹⁶ all the seed²²³³ royal⁴⁴⁶⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah.³⁰⁶³

But Jehoshabeath,³⁰⁹⁰ the daughter¹³²³ of the king,⁴⁴²⁸ took³⁹⁴⁷ Joash³¹⁰¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahaziah,²⁷⁴ and stole¹⁵⁸⁹ him from among⁸⁴³² the king's⁴⁴²⁸ sons¹¹²¹ that were slain,⁴¹⁹¹ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ him and his nurse³²⁴³ in a bedchamber.²³¹⁵ So Jehoshabeath,³⁰⁹⁰ the daughter¹³²³ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Jehoram,³⁰⁸⁸ the wife⁸⁰² of Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ (for she was the sister²⁶⁹ of Ahaziah,)²⁷⁴ hid⁵⁶⁴¹ him from⁶⁴⁴⁰ Athaliah,⁶²⁷¹ so that she slew⁴¹⁹¹ him not.

And he was with them hid²²⁴⁴ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Elohim⁴³⁰ six⁸³³⁷ years:⁸¹⁴¹ and Athaliah⁶²⁷¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ over the land.⁷⁷⁶
