2 Chronicles 22:1-11

22:1

And the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>

made
<04427> (0)

Ahaziah
<0274>

his youngest
<06996>

son
<01121>

king
<04427> (8686)

in his stead: for the band of men
<01416>

that came
<0935> (8802)

with the Arabians
<06163>

to the camp
<04264>

had slain
<02026> (8804)

all the eldest
<07223>_.

So Ahaziah
<0274>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoram
<03088>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

reigned
<04427> (8799)_.

22:2

Forty
<0705>

and two
<08147>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

[was] Ahaziah
<0274>

when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,

and he reigned
<04427> (8804)

one
<0259>

year
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

His mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

also [was] Athaliah
<06271>

the daughter
<01323>

of Omri
<06018>_.

22:3

He also walked
<01980> (8804)

in the ways
<01870>

of the house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>_:

for his mother
<0517>

was his counsellor
<03289> (8802)

to do wickedly
<07561> (8687)_.

22:4

Wherefore he did
<06213> (8799)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>

like the house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>_:

for they were his counsellors
<03289> (8802)

after
<0310>

the death
<04194>

of his father
<01>

to his destruction
<04889>_.

22:5

He walked
<01980> (8804)

also after their counsel
<06098>_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

with Jehoram
<03088>

the son
<01121>

of Ahab
<0256>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

to war
<04421>

against Hazael
<02371>

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

at Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>_:

and the Syrians
<07421>

smote
<05221> (8686)

Joram
<03141>_.

22:6

And he returned
<07725> (8799)

to be healed
<07495> (8692)

in Jezreel
<03157>

because of the wounds
<04347>

which were given
<05221> (8689)

him at Ramah
<07414>_,

when he fought
<03898> (8736)

with Hazael
<02371>

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>_.

And Azariah
<05838>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoram
<03088>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

went down
<03381> (8804)

to see
<07200> (8800)

Jehoram
<03088>

the son
<01121>

of Ahab
<0256>

at Jezreel
<03157>_,

because he was sick
<02470> (8802)_.

{which...: Heb. wherewith they wounded him} {Azariah: also called, Ahaziah, or, Jehoahaz}

22:7

And the destruction
<08395>

of Ahaziah
<0274>

was of God
<0430>

by coming
<0935> (8800)

to Joram
<03141>_:

for when he was come
<0935> (8800)_,

he went out
<03318> (8804)

with Jehoram
<03088>

against Jehu
<03058>

the son
<01121>

of Nimshi
<05250>_,

whom the LORD
<03068>

had anointed
<04886> (8804)

to cut off
<03772> (8687)

the house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>_.

{destruction: Heb. treading down}

22:8

And it came to pass, that, when Jehu
<03058>

was executing judgment
<08199> (8736)

upon the house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>_,

and found
<04672> (8799)

the princes
<08269>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and the sons
<01121>

of the brethren
<0251>

of Ahaziah
<0274>_,

that ministered
<08334> (8764)

to Ahaziah
<0274>_,

he slew
<02026> (8799)

them.

22:9

And he sought
<01245> (8762)

Ahaziah
<0274>_:

and they caught
<03920> (8799)

him, (for he was hid
<02244> (8693)

in Samaria
<08111>,)

and brought
<0935> (8686)

him to Jehu
<03058>_:

and when they had slain
<04191> (8686)

him, they buried
<06912> (8799)

him: Because, said
<0559> (8804)

they, he [is] the son
<01121>

of Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,

who sought
<01875> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

with all his heart
<03824>_.

So the house
<01004>

of Ahaziah
<0274>

had no power
<03581>

to keep
<06113> (8800)

still the kingdom
<04467>_.

22:10

But when Athaliah
<06271>

the mother
<0517>

of Ahaziah
<0274>

saw
<07200> (8804)

that her son
<01121>

was dead
<04191> (8804)_,

she arose
<06965> (8799)

and destroyed
<01696> (8762)

all the seed
<02233>

royal
<04467>

of the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>_.

22:11

But Jehoshabeath
<03090>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of the king
<04428>_,

took
<03947> (8799)

Joash
<03101>

the son
<01121>

of Ahaziah
<0274>_,

and stole
<01589> (8799)

him from among
<08432>

the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>

that were slain
<04191> (8716)_,

and put
<05414> (8799)

him and his nurse
<03243> (8688)

in a bedchamber
<02315> <04296>_.

So Jehoshabeath
<03090>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of king
<04428>

Jehoram
<03088>_,

the wife
<0802>

of Jehoiada
<03077>

the priest
<03548>_,

(for she was the sister
<0269>

of Ahaziah
<0274>,)

hid
<05641> (8686)

him from
<06440>

Athaliah
<06271>_,

so that she slew
<04191> (8689)

him not. {Jehoshabeath: also called, Jehosheba}
