And the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 made AhaziahH274 his youngestH6996 sonH1121 kingH4427 in his stead:H8478 for the bandH1416 of men that cameH935 with the ArabiansH6163 to the campH4264 had slainH2026 allH3605 the oldest.H7223 So AhaziahH274 the sonH1121 of JehoramH3088 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 reigned.H4427
2
FortyH705 and twoH8147 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was AhaziahH274 when he began to reign,H4427 and he reignedH4427 oneH259 yearH8141 in Jerusalem.H3389 His mother'sH517 nameH8034 also was AthaliahH6271 the daughterH1323 of Omri.H6018
3
He alsoH1571 walkedH1980 in the waysH1870 of the houseH1004 of Ahab:H256 for his motherH517 was his counselorH3289 to do wickedly.H7561
4
Why he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 like the houseH1004 of Ahab:H256 for they were his counsellorsH3289 afterH310 the deathH4194 of his fatherH25 to his destruction.H4889
5
He walkedH1980 alsoH1571 after their counsel,H6098 and wentH3212 with JehoramH3088 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 to warH4421 againstH5921 HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 at Ramothgilead:H7433 and the SyriansH761 smoteH5221 Joram.H3141
6
And he returnedH7725 to be healedH7495 in JezreelH3157 becauseH3588 of the woundsH4347 whichH834 were givenH5221 him at Ramah,H7414 when he foughtH3898 with HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of Syria.H758 And AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of JehoramH3088 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 wentH3381 downH3381 to seeH7200 JehoramH3088 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 at Jezreel,H3157 becauseH3588 he was sick.H2470
7
And the destructionH8395 of AhaziahH274 was of GodH430 by comingH935 to Joram:H3141 for when he was come,H935 he wentH3318 out with JehoramH3088 againstH413 JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of Nimshi,H5250 whomH834 the LORDH3068 had anointedH4886 to cutH3772 off the houseH1004 of Ahab.H256
8
And it cameH1961 to pass, that, when JehuH3058 was executing judgmentH8199 on the houseH1004 of Ahab,H256 and foundH4672 the princesH8269 of Judah,H3063 and the sonsH1121 of the brothersH251 of Ahaziah,H274 that ministeredH8334 to Ahaziah,H274 he slewH2026 them.
9
And he soughtH1245 Ahaziah:H274 and they caughtH3920 him, (for he was hidH2244 in Samaria,H8111) and broughtH935 him to Jehu:H3058 and when they had slainH4191 him, they buriedH6912 him: Because,H3588 saidH559 they, he is the sonH1121 of Jehoshaphat,H3092 whoH834 soughtH1875 the LORDH3068 with allH3605 his heart.H3824 So the houseH1004 of AhaziahH274 had noH369 powerH3581 to keepH6113 still the kingdom.H4467
10
But when AthaliahH6271 the motherH517 of AhaziahH274 sawH7200 that her sonH1121 was dead,H4191 she aroseH6965 and destroyedH1696 allH3605 the seedH2233 royalH4467 of the houseH1004 of Judah.H3063
11
But Jehoshabeath,H3090 the daughter of the king,H4428 tookH3947 JoashH3101 the sonH1121 of Ahaziah,H274 and stoleH1589 him from amongH8432 the king'sH4428 sonsH1121 that were slain,H4191 and putH5414 him and his nurseH3243 in a bedchamber.H2315 H4296 So Jehoshabeath,H3090 the daughterH1323 of kingH4428 Jehoram,H3088 the wifeH802 of JehoiadaH3111 the priest,H3548 (for she was the sisterH269 of Ahaziah,H274) hidH5641 him from Athaliah,H6271 so that she slewH4191 him not.
12
And he was with them hidH2244 in the houseH1004 of GodH430 sixH8337 years:H8141 and AthaliahH6271 reignedH4427 overH5921 the land.H776
