CHAPTER 22 Ahaziah Reigns in Judah

1 And [⁵gave reign ¹the ones ²dwelling ³in ⁴Jerusalem] to Ahaziah his son, the youngest, instead of him; for all the elder sons were killed by the ones coming upon them -- the band of robbers, the Arabians. And [⁶reigned ¹Ahaziah ²son ³of Jehoram ⁴king ⁵of Judah]. 2 [²was a son ³being ⁴forty ⁵and ⁶two ⁷years old ¹Ahaziah] in his reigning, and [³year ²one ¹he reigned] in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Athaliah daughter of Omri. 3 And also he went in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor to sin. 4 And he did the wicked thing in the eyes of the lord, as the house of Ahab; for they were to him counselors after the dying of his father to utterly destroy him. 5 And [²by ³their counsels ¹he went]. And he went with Jehoram son of Ahab king of Israel for war against Hazael king of Syria in Ramoth Gilead. And [³struck ¹the ²bowmen] Jehoram. 6 And Jehoram returned to be treated medically in Jezreel from the wounds which [³struck ⁴him ¹the ²Syrians] in Ramoth, in his warring against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah son of Jehoram, king of Judah went down to see Jehoram son of Ahab in Jezreel, for he was infirm. 7 And by God came the final event of Ahaziah in his coming to Jehoram. And in his coming, Jehoram went forth with him against Jehu son of Nimshi, the anointed of the lord, whom [²anointed ³him ¹the lord] to utterly destroy the house of Ahab. 8 And it came to pass in [²taking vengeance ¹Jehu] on the house of Ahab, that he found the rulers of Judah, and the brothers of Ahaziah, the ones officiating to Ahaziah, and he killed them. 9 And Jehu told them to seek Ahaziah. And they overtook him in his being treated medically in Samaria, and they led him to Jehu, and he killed him. And they entombed him, for they said, He is a son of Jehoshaphat who sought the lord with [²entire ³heart ¹his]. And there was not anyone in the house of Ahaziah prevailing with power over the kingdom.

Athaliah Kills the Royal Seed

10 And Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that [²died ¹her son], and she rose up and destroyed all the seed of the kingdom in the house of Judah. 11 But [⁶took ¹Jehoshabeath ²the ³daughter ⁴of the ⁵king] Joash son of Ahaziah, and stole him from the midst of the sons of the king, of the ones being put to death. And she put him and his nourishment in the storeroom of the beds. And [⁵hid ⁶him ¹the ²daughter ³of king ⁴Jehoram], Jehoshabeath the sister of Ahaziah the wife of Jehoiada the priest. And she hid him from the face of Athaliah, and she did not kill him. 12 And he was being hid with her in the house of God six years. And Athaliah reigned over the land.
