American Standard Version (ASV) With Strong Codes

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. Forty[H705] and two[H8147] years[H8141] old[H1121] was Ahaziah[H274] when he began to reign[H4427]; and he reigned[H4427] one[H259] year[H8141] in Jerusalem[H3389]: and his mother[H517]'s name[H8034] was Athaliah[H6271] the daughter[H1323] of Omri[H6018].

3. He also walked[H1980] in the ways[H1870] of the house[H1004] of Ahab[H256]; for his mother[H517] was his counsellor[H3289] to do wickedly[H7561].

4. And he did[H6213] that which was evil[H7451] in the sight[H5869] of Jehovah[H3068], as did the house[H1004] of Ahab[H256]; for they were his counsellors[H3289] after[H310] the death[H4194] of his father[H1], to his destruction[H4889].

5. He walked[H1980] also after their counsel[H6098], and went[H3212] with Jehoram[H3088] the son[H1121] of Ahab[H256] king[H4428] of Israel[H3478] to war[H4421] against Hazael[H2371] king[H4428] of Syria[H758] at Ramoth-gilead[H7433]: and the Syrians[H7421] wounded[H5221] Joram[H3141].

6. And he returned[H7725] to be healed[H7495] in Jezreel[H3157] of the wounds[H4347] which they had given[H5221] him at Ramah[H7414], when he fought[H3898] against Hazael[H2371] king[H4428] of Syria[H758]. And Azariah[H5838] the son[H1121] of Jehoram[H3088] king[H4428] of Judah[H3063] went down[H3381] to see[H7200] Jehoram[H3088] the son[H1121] of Ahab[H256] in Jezreel[H3157], because he was sick[H2470].

7. Now the destruction[H8395] of Ahaziah[H274] was of God[H430], in that he went[H935] unto Joram[H3141]: for when he was come[H935], he went out[H3318] with Jehoram[H3088] against Jehu[H3058] the son[H1121] of Nimshi[H5250], whom Jehovah[H3068] had anointed[H4886] to cut off[H3772] the house[H1004] of Ahab[H256].

8. And it came to pass[H3058], when Jehu was executing judgment[H8199] upon the house[H1004] of Ahab[H256], that he found[H4672] the princes[H8269] of Judah[H3063], and the sons[H1121] of the brethren[H251] of Ahaziah[H274], ministering[H8334] to Ahaziah[H274], and slew them[H2026].

9. And he sought[H1245] Ahaziah[H274], and they caught[H3920] him[H2244] (now he was hiding in Samaria[H8111]), and they brought[H935] him to Jehu[H3058], and slew[H4191] him[H6912]; and they buried him[H559], for they said, He is the son[H1121] of Jehoshaphat[H3092], who sought[H1875] Jehovah[H3068] with all his heart[H3824]. And the house[H1004] of Ahaziah[H274] had no power[H3581] to hold[H6113] the kingdom[H4467].

10. Now when Athaliah[H6271] the mother[H517] of Ahaziah[H274] saw[H7200] that her son[H1121] was dead[H4191], she arose[H6965] and destroyed[H1696] all the seed[H2233] royal[H4467] of the house[H1004] of Judah[H3063].

11. But Jehoshabeath[H3090], the daughter[H1323] of the king[H4428], took[H3947] Joash[H3101] the son[H1121] of Ahaziah[H274], and stole[H1589] him away from among[H8432] the king[H4428]'s sons[H1121] that were slain[H4191], and put[H5414] him and his nurse[H3243] in the bedchamber[H2315]. So Jehoshabeath[H3090], the daughter[H1323] of king[H4428] Jehoram[H3088], the wife[H802] of Jehoiada[H3077] the priest[H3548] (for she was the sister[H269] of Ahaziah[H274]), hid[H5641] him from[H6440] Athaliah[H6271], so that she slew him not[H4191].

12. And he was with them hid[H2244] in the house[H1004] of God[H430] six[H8337] years[H8141]: and Athaliah[H6271] reigned[H4427] over the land[H776].
