2Chronicles:22:1-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahazi '
ah his youngest son king in his stead ;
for the band of men that came with the Arabs to the camp had slain all the older sons .
So Ahazi '
ah the son of Jeho '
ram king of Judah reigned .
*
Ahazi '
ah was forty-two years old when he began to reign ,
and he reigned one year in Jerusalem .
His mother '
s name was Athali '
ah ,
the granddaughter of Omri .
*
He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab ,
for his mother was his counselor in doing wickedly .
*
He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD ,
as the house of Ahab had done ;
for after the death of his father they were his counselors ,
to his undoing .
*
He even followed their counsel ,
and went with Jeho '
ram the son of Ahab king of Israel to make war against Haz '
ael king of Syria at Ramoth-gilead .
And the Syrians wounded Joram ,
*
and he returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which he had received at Ramah ,
when he fought against Haz '
ael king of Syria .
And Ahazi '
ah the son of Jeho '
ram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel ,
because he was sick .
*
But it was ordained by God that the downfall of Ahazi '
ah should come about through his going to visit Joram .
For when he came there he went out with Jeho '
ram to meet Jehu the son of Nimshi ,
whom the LORD had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab .
*
And when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab ,
he met the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahazi '
ah '
s brothers ,
who attended Ahazi '
ah ,
and he killed them .
*
He searched for Ahazi '
ah ,
and he was captured while hiding in Sama '
ria ,
and he was brought to Jehu and put to death .
They buried him ,
for they said , "
He is the grandson of Jehosh '
aphat ,
who sought the LORD with all his heart ."
And the house of Ahazi '
ah had no one able to rule the kingdom .
