2 Chronicles 22:1-6
Ahaziah Succeeds Jehoram in Judah
1 (A)Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem made (a)Ahaziah, his youngest son, king in his place, for the band of men who came with (B)the Arabs to the camp had slain all the older sons. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.
2 Ahaziah was (b)twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Athaliah, the (c)granddaughter of Omri.
3 He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor to do wickedly.
4 He 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 (C)his destruction.
Ahaziah Allies with Jehoram of Israel
5 He 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 (d)(D)Arameans (e)wounded (f)Joram.
6 So he returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds (g)which they had inflicted on him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. And (h)Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
