And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ochozias his (

Gr .
little son (:
note )
youngest son king in his stead :
for the band of robbers that came against them ,
even the Arabians and the See 2 Ch strkjv @
14:15 Alimazonians ,
had slain all the elder ones .
So Ochozias son of Joram king of Juda reigned .
*
Ochozias began to reign when he was twenty years old ,
and he reigned one year in Jerusalem :
and his mother ’
s name was Gotholia ,
the daughter of Ambri .
*
And he walked in the way of the house of Achaab ;
for his mother was his counsellor to do evil .
*
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord as the house of Achaab had done :
for they were his counselors after the death of his father to his destruction .
*
And he walked in their counsels ,
and he went with Joram son of Achaab king of Israel to war against Azael king of Syria to Ramoth Galaad :
and the archers smote Joram .
*
And Joram returned to Jezrael to be healed of the wounds wherewith the Syrians smote him in Ramoth ,
when he fought against Azael king of Syria .
And Ochozias son of Joram ,
king of Juda ,
went down to see Joram the son of Achaab at Jezrael because he was sick .
*
And destruction from God came upon Ochozias in his coming to Joram ;
for when he had come ,
Joram went out with him against Jeu the son of Namessei ,
the anointed of the Lord against the house of Achaab .
*
And it came to pass ,
when Jeu was taking vengeance on the house of Achaab ,
that he found the princes of Juda and the brethren of Ochozias ministering to Ochozias ,
and he slew them .
*
And he gave orders to seek Ochozias :
and they took him while he was healing his wounds in Samaria ,
and they brought him to Jeu ,
and he slew him ;
and they buried him ,
for they said ,
He is the son of Josaphat ,
who sought the Lord with all his heart .
So there was none in the house of Ochozias to secure their power in the kingdom .
