The inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his place, because the band of men who came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the oldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned. 2Ch 21:16-172Ki 8:24-292Ch 23:32Ch 26:12Ch 33:252Ch 36:11Ch 3:11 Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri. 1Ki 16:282Ch 21:62Ki 8:26 He also walked in the ways of Ahab’s house, because his mother was his counselor in acting wickedly. Gen 27:12-13Act 4:19Deu 13:6-10Deu 7:3-4Gen 6:4-5Jdg 17:4-5Mal 2:15Mat 10:37 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as did Ahab’s house, for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction. Pro 13:202Ch 24:17-18Pro 1:10Pro 12:5Pro 19:27 He also followed their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram. 1Ki 22:32Ch 18:32Ch 18:312Ch 19:22Ki 8:28-292Ki 8:9Dan 5:22Mic 6:16 He returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. Azariah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick. 2Ki 9:152Ch 21:172Ch 22:12Ch 22:72Ki 10:13-142Ki 8:29
Now the destruction of Ahaziah was of God, in that he went to Joram; for when he had come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off Ahab’s house. 2Ch 10:152Ki 9:211Ki 12:151Ki 19:161Ki 22:202Ki 9:1-7Deu 32:35Hos 14:9 When Jehu was executing judgment on Ahab’s house, he found the princes of Judah and the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah serving Ahaziah, and killed them. 2Ki 10:10-14 He sought Ahaziah, and they caught him (now he was hiding in Samaria), and they brought him to Jehu and killed him; and they buried him, for they said, “He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.” The house of Ahaziah had no power to hold the kingdom. 1Ki 13:211Ki 14:132Ch 17:3-42Ch 21:172Ch 21:202Ch 21:42Ch 22:82Ki 9:27-28
Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal offspring of the house of Judah. 2Ki 11:1-32Ch 22:2-4 But Jehoshabeath, the king’s daughter, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stealthily rescued him from among the king’s sons who were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah, so that she didn’t kill him.
