For the robbers of the Arabians, who had fallen upon the camp, had put to death all those who were greater by birth before him. And so Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, reigned as king of Judah. <A name="3"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/22-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri. <A name="4"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/22-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>But he too went forth in the ways of the house of Ahab. For his mother impelled him to act impiously. <A name="5"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/22-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>And so he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as the house of Ahab did.

And the Syrians wounded Joram. <A name="7"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/22-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>And he returned, so that he might be cured at Jezreel. For he had received many wounds in the above-stated battle. And so Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, descended, so that he might visit Joram, the son of Ahab, at Jezreel, while he was ill.<p> <A name="8"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/22-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Indeed, it was the will of God against Ahaziah that he would go to Joram, and when he had gone, that he also would go out with him against Jehu, the son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.<p> <A name="9"></a><p class="hdg">Jehu Kills the Princes of Judah<br /><span class="cross">(<a href ="../2_kings/9.htm#14">2 Kings 9:14–29</a>)</span><p><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/22-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>Therefore, when Jehu was overthrowing the house of Ahab, he found the leaders of Judah, with the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, who were ministering to him, and he put them to death. <A name="10"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/22-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Also, while he himself was seeking Ahaziah, he found him to be hiding in Samaria.
