25 In the twelfth year of Ahab’s son Yoram’s reign over Israel, Yehoram’s son Ahazyah (Ahaziah) became the king of Yehudah. 26 Ahazyah was twenty-two when he became king, and he reigned from Yerushalem for one year. (His mother’s name was Atalyah (Athaliah), the daughter of King Omri of Israel.) 27 He followed Ahab’s customs and did what Yahweh had said was evil like Ahab’s descendants, because he was a son-in-law of a descendant of Ahab. 28 He joined Ahab’s son Yoram to battle against Aram’s King Haza’el 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 Haza’el. Later, King Ahazyah of Yehudah (Yehoram’s son), went down to see (Ahab’s son) Yoram in Yizre’el because he was wounded.
