Read 2 Kings 8 in full →Ahaziah Reigns over Judah
24So Joram slept with his fathers and awas buried with his fathers in the city of David; and bAhaziah his son became king in his place.
25aIn the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah became king. 26aAhaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Athaliah the granddaughter of Omri king of Israel. 27aHe also walked in the way of the house of Ahab and did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, like the house of Ahab had done, because he was a son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
28Then he went with Joram the son of Ahab to war with aHazael king of Aram at bRamoth-gilead, and the Arameans struck Joram. 29So aKing Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Arameans had caused by striking him at bRamah when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. Then cAhaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel because he was sick.
