2Ki 8:25-26 | MHM | STEP | The Reign of Ahaziah This section tells about Ahaziah, king of Judah. He was not a strong or good king. His story is short and sad. Ahaziah’s life shows that having a famous name or royal family does not make someone great in God’s eyes. He followed the bad example of Ahab’s family, and this led to his downfall. When people join with others in doing wrong, they often share in their troubles too. v. 25-26 : Ahaziah became king of Judah in the twelfth year of Joram, king of Israel. He was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he ruled for only one year in Jerusalem. His mother was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri, king of Israel (2 Kings 8:25-26 ). Because his mother was from Ahab’s family, he learned their evil ways from a young age. The people we choose to be close to can greatly affect our lives.
