51 Ahav’s son Ahazyah began to reign over Israel from Samaria in the seventeenth year of King Yehoshafat’s reign over Yehudah, and he reigned over Israel for two years. 52 He followed the behaviour of his father and mother and Nebat’s son Yarave’am, and did what Yahweh had said was evil—causing Israel to sin like they had. 53 He served Baal and bowed down to him, and he provoked Israel’s God Yahweh to get angry, similarly to everything that his father had done.
