Ahazyah reigns over Yehudah

2 Ki 8:25–29

8:25 Ahazyah reigns over Yehudah

Southern kingdom

(2 Chr. 22:1-6)

25 In the twelfth year of Ahav’s son Yoram’s (Joram’s) reign over Yisrael (Israel), Yehoram’s (Jehoram’s) son Ahazyah became the king of Yehudah (Judah). 26 Ahazyah was twenty-two when he became king, and he reigned from Yerushalem (Jerusalem) for one year. (His mother’s name was Atalyah (Athaliah), the daughter of King Omri of Yisrael.) 27 He followed Ahav’s customs and did what Yahweh had said was evil like Ahav’s descendants, because he was a son-in-law of a descendant of Ahav. 28 He joined Ahav’s son Yoram to battle against Aram’s (Syria’s) King Hazael at Ramot-Gilead, but the Arameans wounded Yoram. 29 King Yoram returned to Yizre’el (Jezreel) to recover from the wounds that Arameans had given him at Ramah when he’d fought with Aram’s King Hazael. Later, King Ahazyah of Yehudah (Yehoram’s son), went down to see (Ahav’s son) Yoram in Yizre’el because he was wounded.

2 Chr 22:1–6

22:1 Yehudah’s king Ahazyah

(2 Kgs 8:25-29; 9:21-28)

22 The inhabitants of Yerushalem (Jerusalem) made his youngest son Ahazyah[fn] king in his place, because all his older brothers had been killed by the Aravi invaders. So Yehoram’s (Jehoram’s) son Ahazyah reigned as Yehudah’s (Judah’s) king. 2 He was twenty-two[fn] when he became king, and he reigned from Yerushalem for one year. His mother was Atalyah (Athaliah), a granddaughter of Yisrael’s (Israel’s) King Omri. 3 King Ahazyah behaved just like King Ahav’s family had done, because his mother gave him evil advice, 4 so he did what Yahweh had said was evil, just like Ahav’s family, because after his father’s death, they’d become Ahazyah’s advisors, giving destructive suggestions. 5 He followed their advice and joined King Yehoram (son of Yisrael’s King Ahav) to fight against Aram’s (Syria’s) King Hazael at Ramot-Gilead, where Yehoram was wounded by the Arameans. 6 Yehoram returned to Yizre’el (Jezreel) to recover, because he’d been wounded at Ramah in the battle against Aram’s King Hazael. So Yehudah’s King Ahazyah went up to Yizre’el to see Yehoram.

22:1 Called Yehoahaz in 21:17 above. (Replace ‘Yeho’ at the front with ‘Yah’ at the end—the meaning ‘Yahweh has held’ remains the same.)

22:2 The Hebrew has forty-two here, but we’ve corrected it from 2 Kgs 8:26.
