Ahaziah ^{▼▼ Most Hebrew mss read “Azariah.” A few Hebrew mss, the LXX, Vulgate, and Syriac read “Ahaziah” (cf. 2 Kgs 8:29).} son of King Jehoram of Judah went down to visit Joram son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he had been wounded. ^{▼▼ Heb “because he was sick,” presumably referring to the wounds he received in the battle with the Syrians.}
