*
And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Achazyahu his youngest son king in his stead ;
for the predatory band that was come with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest .
So became Achazyahu ,
the son of Jehoram the king of Judah ,
king .
*
Forty and two years old was Achazyahu when he became king ,
and one year did he reign in Jerusalem :
and his mother
s name was Athalyahu the daughter of
Omri .
*
Also he walked in the ways of the house of Achab ;
for his mother was his counsellor to act wickedly .
*
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord like the house of Achab ;
for these were his counsellors after the death of his father to his destruction .
*
He walked also after their counsel ,
and went with Jehoram the son of Achab the king of Israel to war against Chazael the king of Syria at Ramoth
gil
ad :
and the Syrians smote Joram .
*
And he returned to be healed in Yizre
el because of the wounds which had been given him at Ramah ,
when he fought with Chazael the king of Syria .
And
Azaryahu the son of Jehoram the king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Achab at Yizre
el ,
because he was sick .
*
But from God was the confusion of Achazyahu that he should come to Joram :
and when he was come ,
he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi ,
whom the Lord had anointed to cut off the house of Achab .
*
And it came to pass ,
when Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Achab ,
that he found the princes of Judah ,
and the sons of the brothers of Achazyahu ,
that ministered to Achazyahu ,
and he slew them .
*
And he sought Achazyahu ,
and they caught him while he was hiding himself in Samaria ,
and they brought him to Jehu ,
and they slew him ,
and buried him ;
because they said ,
He is son of Jehoshaphat ,
who sought the Lord with all his heart .
And there was none of the house of Achazyahu who had sufficient power the kingdom .
