CHAP. XXII.
1 Ahaziah succeeding, reigneth wickedly: 5 In
his confederacy with Joram the son of Ahab,
he is slain by Jehu. 10 Athaliah destroying
all the seed royal, save Joash, whom Jehoshabeath
his aunt hid, usurpeth the kingdom.
1 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem
made note Ahaziah his youngest son
king in his stead: for the band of men
that came with the Arabians to the camp
had slain all the note eldest. So Ahaziah
the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
2 Forty and two years old was Ahaziah
when he began to reign, and he reigned
one year in Jerusalem, His mother's
name also was note Athaliah the daughter
of Omri.
3 He also walked in the ways of the
house of Ahab: for his mother was his
counselor to do wickedly.
4 Wherefore 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 his destruction.
5 ¶2; He walked also after 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 smote Joram.
6 And he returned to be healed in Jezreel
because of the wounds note which were
given him at Ramah, when he fought
with Hazael king of Syria. And note Azariah
the son of Jehoram king of Judah
went down to see Jehoram the son of
Ahab at Jezreel, because he was sick.
7 And the note destruction of Ahaziah
was from God by coming to Joram: for
when he had come, he went out with Jehoram
against Jehu the son of Nimshi,
whom the Lord had anointed note to cut off
the house of Ahab.
8 And it came to pass, that when Jehu
was executing judgment upon the house
of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah,
and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah,
that ministered to Ahaziah, he slew
them.
9 noteAnd he sought Ahaziah: and they
caught him, (for he was hid in Samaria,)
and brought him to Jehu: and when
they had slain him, they buried him:
Because, said they, he is the son of Jehoshaphat,
who sought the Lord with all
his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had
no power to retain the kingdom.
10 ¶2; note But when Athaliah the mother
of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead,
she arose, and destroyed all the seed
royal of the house of Judah.
11 But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of
the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah,
and stole him from among the king's
sons that were slain, and put him and his
nurse in a bed chamber. 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 slew him not.
12 And he was with them hid in the
house of God six years: and Athaliah
reigned over the land.
