2 Chronicles 22:1
|
|
And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made 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 eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah
reigned. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 22:2 |
|
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
Athaliah the daughter of Omri. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 22:3 |
|
He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab:
for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 22:4 |
|
Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the LORD
like the house of Ahab: for they were his counsellors after the death of his father
to his destruction. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 22:5 |
|
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 Ramothgilead: and the Syrians smote Joram. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 22:6 |
|
And he returned to be healed in Jezreel because
of the wounds which were given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of
Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the
son of Ahab at Jezreel, because he was sick. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 22:7 |
|
And the destruction of Ahaziah was of God by
coming to Joram: for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the
son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 22:8 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 22:9 |
|
And 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 keep still
the kingdom. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 22:10 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 22:11 |
|
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 bedchamber. 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. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 22:12 |
|
And he was with them hid in the house of God
six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land. |
