Obadiah
[ 22 ]
Joel
-
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.
-
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.
-
He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his
mother was his counsellor to do wickedly.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And he was with them hid in the house of God six years:
and Athaliah reigned over the land.
