1
H3427 [H8802]
And the inhabitants
H3389
of Jerusalem
H4427 0
made
H274
Ahaziah
H6996
his youngest
H1121
son
H4427 [H8686]
king
H1416
in his stead: for the band of men
H935 [H8802]
that came
H6163
with the Arabians
H4264
to the camp
H2026 [H8804]
had slain
H7223
all the eldest.
H274
So Ahaziah
H1121
the son
H3088
of Jehoram
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah
H4427 [H8799]
reigned.
2
H705
Forty
H8147
and two
H8141
years
H1121
old
H274
was Ahaziah
H4427 [H8800]
when he began to reign,
H4427 [H8804]
and he reigned
H259
one
H8141
year
H3389
in Jerusalem.
H517
His mother's
H8034
name
H6271
also was Athaliah
H1323
the daughter
H6018
of Omri.
3
H1980 [H8804]
He also walked
H1870
in the ways
H1004
of the house
H256
of Ahab:
H517
for his mother
H3289 [H8802]
was his counsellor
H7561 [H8687]
to do wickedly.
4
H6213 [H8799]
Therefore he did
H7451
evil
H5869
in the eyes
H3068
of the LORD
H1004
like the house
H256
of Ahab:
H3289 [H8802]
for they were his counsellors
H310
after
H4194
the death
H1
of his father
H4889
to his decadence.
5
H1980 [H8804]
He walked
H6098
also after their counsel,
H3212 [H8799]
and went
H3088
with Jehoram
H1121
the son
H256
of Ahab
H4428
king
H3478
of Israel
H4421
to war
H2371
against Hazael
H4428
king
H758
of Syria
H7433 H1568
at Ramothgilead:
H7421
and the Syrians
H5221 [H8686]
smote
H3141
Joram.
6
H7725 [H8799]
And he returned
H7495 [H8692]
to be healed
H3157
in Jezreel
H4347
because of the wounds
H5221 [H8689]
which were given
H7414
him at Ramah,
H3898 [H8736]
when he fought
H2371
with Hazael
H4428
king
H758
of Syria.
H5838
And Azariah
H1121
the son
H3088
of Jehoram
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah
H3381 [H8804]
went down
H7200 [H8800]
to see
H3088
Jehoram
H1121
the son
H256
of Ahab
H3157
at Jezreel,
H2470 [H8802]
because he was sick.
7
H8395
And the treading down
H274
of Ahaziah
H430
was from God
H935 [H8800]
by coming
H3141
to Joram:
H935 [H8800]
for when he had come,
H3318 [H8804]
he went out
H3088
with Jehoram
H3058
against Jehu
H1121
the son
H5250
of Nimshi,
H3068
whom the LORD
H4886 [H8804]
had anointed
H3772 [H8687]
to cut off
H1004
the house
H256
of Ahab.
8
H3058
And it came to pass, that, when Jehu
H8199 [H8736]
was executing judgment
H1004
upon the house
H256
of Ahab,
H4672 [H8799]
and found
H8269
the princes
H3063
of Judah,
H1121
and the sons
H251
of the brethren
H274
of Ahaziah,
H8334 [H8764]
that ministered
H274
to Ahaziah,
H2026 [H8799]
he slew them.
9
H1245 [H8762]
And he sought
H274
Ahaziah:
H3920 [H8799]
and they caught
H2244 [H8693]
him, (for he was hid
H8111
in Samaria,
H935 [H8686]
) and brought
H3058
him to Jehu:
H4191 [H8686]
and when they had slain
H6912 [H8799]
him, they buried
H559 [H8804]
him: Because, said
H1121
they, he is the son
H3092
of Jehoshaphat,
H1875 [H8804]
who sought
H3068
the LORD
H3824
with all his heart.
H1004
So the house
H274
of Ahaziah
H3581
had no power
H6113 [H8800]
to retain
H4467
the kingdom.
10
H6271
But when Athaliah
H517
the mother
H274
of Ahaziah
H7200 [H8804]
saw
H1121
that her son
H4191 [H8804]
was dead,
H6965 [H8799]
she arose
H1696 [H8762]
and subdued
H2233
all the seed
H4467
royal
H1004
of the house
H3063
of Judah.
11
H3090
But Jehoshabeath,
H1323
the daughter
H4428
of the king,
H3947 [H8799]
took
H3101
Joash
H1121
the son
H274
of Ahaziah,
H1589 [H8799]
and stole
H8432
him from among
H4428
the king's
H1121
sons
H4191 [H8716]
that were slain,
H5414 [H8799]
and put
H3243 [H8688]
him and his nurse
H2315 H4296
in a bedchamber.
H3090
So Jehoshabeath,
H1323
the daughter
H4428
of king
H3088
Jehoram,
H802
the wife
H3077
of Jehoiada
H3548
the priest,
H269
(for she was the sister
H274
of Ahaziah,
H5641 [H8686]
) hid
H6440
him from
H6271
Athaliah,
H4191 [H8689]
so that she slew him not.
