KJV_Strong : 2 Chronicles 22
1. And the inhabitants[H3427] of Jerusalem[H3389] made[H853] Ahaziah[H274] his youngest[H6996] son[H1121] king[H4427] in his stead:[H8478] for[H3588] the band of men[H1416] that came[H935] with the Arabians[H6163] to the camp[H4264] had slain[H2026] all[H3605] the eldest.[H7223] So Ahaziah[H274] the son[H1121] of Jehoram[H3088] king[H4428] of Judah[H3063] reigned.[H4427]
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] His mother's[H517] name[H8034] also was Athaliah[H6271] the daughter[H1323] of Omri.[H6018]
3. He[H1931] also[H1571] walked[H1980] in the ways[H1870] of the house[H1004] of Ahab:[H256] for[H3588] his mother[H517] was[H1961] his counselor[H3289] to do wickedly.[H7561]
4. Wherefore he did[H6213] evil[H7451] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD[H3068] like the house[H1004] of Ahab:[H256] for[H3588] they[H1992] were[H1961] his counselors[H3289] after[H310] the death[H4194] of his father[H1] to his destruction.[H4889]
5. He walked[H1980] also[H1571] after their counsel,[H6098] and went[H1980] with[H854] Jehoram[H3088] the son[H1121] of Ahab[H256] king[H4428] of Israel[H3478] to war[H4421] against[H5921] Hazael[H2371] king[H4428] of Syria[H758] at Ramoth-gilead:[H7433] and the Syrians[H761] smote[H5221] [H853] Joram.[H3141]
6. And he returned[H7725] to be healed[H7495] in Jezreel[H3157] because of[H3588] the wounds[H4347] which[H834] were given[H5221] him at Ramah,[H7414] when he fought[H3898] [H853] with 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] [H853] Jehoram[H3088] the son[H1121] of Ahab[H256] at Jezreel,[H3157] because[H3588] he[H1931] was sick.[H2470]
7. And the destruction[H8395] of Ahaziah[H274] was[H1961] of God[H4480] [H430] by coming[H935] to[H413] Joram:[H3141] for when he was come,[H935] he went out[H3318] with[H5973] Jehoram[H3088] against[H413] Jehu[H3058] the son[H1121] of Nimshi,[H5250] whom[H834] the LORD[H3068] had anointed[H4886] to cut off[H3772] [H853] the house[H1004] of Ahab.[H256]
8. And it came to pass,[H1961] that, when Jehu[H3058] was executing judgment[H8199] upon[H5973] the house[H1004] of Ahab,[H256] and found[H4672] [H853] the princes[H8269] of Judah,[H3063] and the sons[H1121] of the brethren[H251] of Ahaziah,[H274] that ministered[H8334] to Ahaziah,[H274] he slew[H2026] them.
9. And he sought[H1245] [H853] Ahaziah:[H274] and they caught[H3920] him, (for he[H1931] was hid[H2244] in Samaria,)[H8111] and brought[H935] him to[H413] Jehu:[H3058] and when they had slain[H4191] him, they buried[H6912] him: Because,[H3588] said[H559] they, he[H1931] is the son[H1121] of Jehoshaphat,[H3092] who[H834] sought[H1875] [H853] the LORD[H3068] with all[H3605] his heart.[H3824] So the house[H1004] of Ahaziah[H274] had no[H369] power[H3581] to keep still[H6113] the kingdom.[H4467]
10. But when Athaliah[H6271] the mother[H517] of Ahaziah[H274] saw[H7200] that[H3588] her son[H1121] was dead,[H4191] she arose[H6965] and destroyed[H1696] [H853] all[H3605] 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] [H853] Joash[H3101] the son[H1121] of Ahaziah,[H274] and stole[H1589] him from among[H4480] [H8432] the king's[H4428] sons[H1121] that were slain,[H4191] and put[H5414] him and his nurse[H3243] in a bedchamber.[H2315] [H4296] So Jehoshabeath,[H3090] the daughter[H1323] of king[H4428] Jehoram,[H3088] the wife[H802] of Jehoiada[H3077] the priest,[H3548] (for[H3588] she[H1931] was[H1961] the sister[H269] of Ahaziah,)[H274] hid[H5641] him from[H4480] [H6440] Athaliah,[H6271] so that she slew[H4191] him not.[H3808]
12. And he was[H1961] with[H854] them hid[H2244] in the house[H1004] of God[H430] six[H8337] years:[H8141] and Athaliah[H6271] reigned[H4427] over[H5921] the land.[H776]
