2 Chronicles 22:1-5

Context
Ahaziah’s Reign

22:1 The residents of Jerusalem 1  made his youngest son Ahaziah king in his place, for the raiding party that invaded the city with the Arabs had killed all the older sons. 2  So Ahaziah son of Jehoram became king of Judah. 22:2 Ahaziah was twenty-two 3  years old when he became king and he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. His mother was Athaliah, the granddaughter 4  of Omri. 22:3 He followed in the footsteps of Ahab’s dynasty, 5  for his mother gave him evil advice. 6  22:4 He did evil in the sight of 7  the Lord like Ahab’s dynasty because, after his father’s death, they 8  gave him advice that led to his destruction. 22:5 He followed their advice and joined Ahab’s son King Joram 9  of Israel in a battle against King Hazael of Syria 10  at Ramoth Gilead in which the Syrians defeated Joram.
