22 The citizens of Jerusalem made his youngest son Ahaziah king instead of him, for all the older sons had been murdered by the horde that accompanied the Arabians to the camp. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah was king. 2 Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem for one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri. 3 He too lived on the lines of the dynasty of Ahab, for his mother was an evil counsellor to him; 4 he did evil in the eyes of the Eternal, like the dynasty of Ahab; they were his counsellors after his father died, and they were the ruin of him. 5 He followed their advice, accompanying Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to attack Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead; the Aramaeans wounded Jehoram, 6 who returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he had received at Ramah in attacking Hazael king of Aram; and Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to Jezreel to visit Jehoram the son of Ahab, as he was ill.
7 Now this visit of Ahaziah to Jehoram proved, under God, his downfall. For, on arriving, he went with Jehoram on an expedition against Jehu the grandson of Nimshi, whom the Eternal had anointed for the purpose of destroying the dynasty of Ahab. 8 As Jehu executed doom on the dynasty of Ahab, he came across the nobles of Judah and the kinsmen of Ahaziah serving under Ahaziah, and he killed them; 9 he hunted for Ahaziah himself, who was caught hiding in Samaria, brought before Jehu, and killed. They allowed him to be buried, however, reflecting that he was the son of Jehoshaphat, who had been a whole-hearted worshipper of the Eternal.
As none of Ahaziah’s family could hold the reins of power, 10 Athaltah his mother, finding that her son was dead, went and murdered all the male survivors of the royal house of Judah. 11 But Jehoshabeath, a daughter of the king, caught up Joash the son of Ahaziah from the king’s sons who were being murdered, and hid him and his nurse in a bedroom. In this way Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, and the wife of Jehoiada the priest—-she was a sister of Ahaziah—-hid the boy in safety, so that Athaliah did not kill him.
12 For six years the boy lay concealed with the princess and his nurse inside the temple of God, while Athaliah ruled the land.
