2 Kings 8:24-29

Ahaziah Succeeds Jehoram in Judah

24 So Joram ^{▼▼I.e., died}lay down with his fathers and ^bwas buried with his fathers in the city of David; and his son ^cAhaziah became king in his place.

25 ^dIn the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign. 26 ^eAhaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Athaliah the granddaughter of Omri king of Israel. 27 ^fHe walked in the way of the house of Ahab and did evil in the sight of the Lord, like the house of Ahab, because he was a son-in-law of the house of Ahab.

28 Then he went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against ^gHazael king of Aram at ^hRamoth-gilead, and the Arameans ^{▼▼Lit struck}wounded Joram. 29 So ^jKing Joram returned to have himself healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Arameans had ^{▼▼Lit struck}inflicted on him at ^lRamah when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. Then ^mAhaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel because he was sick.
