2 Chronicles 22:1–6

Ahaziah Succeeds Jehoram in Judah

^1aThen the inhabitants of Jerusalem made ¹Ahaziah, his youngest son, king in his place, for the band of men who came with ^bthe Arabs to the camp had slain all the older sons. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.

²Ahaziah was ¹twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Athaliah, the ²granddaughter of Omri.

³He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor to do wickedly.

⁴He did evil in the sight of the Lord like the house of Ahab, for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to ^ahis destruction.

Ahaziah Allies with Jehoram of Israel

⁵He also walked according to their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to wage war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead. But the ^1aArameans ²wounded ³Joram.

⁶So he returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds ¹which they had inflicted on him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. And ²Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
