14:021:019 And it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of
           two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness:  so
           he died of sore diseases.  And his people made no burning for
           him, like the burning of his fathers.

14:021:020 Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he
           reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being
           desired.  Howbeit they buried him in the city of David, but not
           in the sepulchres of the kings.

14:022:001 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son
           king in his stead:  for the band of men that came with the
           Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest.  So Ahaziah the
           son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.

14:022:002 Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign,
           and he reigned one year in Jerusalem.  His mother’s name also
           was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.

14:022:003 He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab:  for his
           mother was his counsellor to do wickedly.

14:022:004 Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the lord like the house
           of Ahab:  for they were his counsellors after the death of his
           father to his destruction.

14:022:005 He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the
           son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria
           at Ramothgilead:  and the Syrians smote Joram.

14:022:006 And he returned to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds
           which were given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king
           of Syria.  And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went
           down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab at Jezreel, because he was
           sick.

14:022:007 And the destruction of Ahaziah was of God by coming to Joram: 
           for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu
           the son of Nimshi, whom the lord had anointed to cut off the
           house of Ahab.

14:022:008 And it came to pass, that, when Jehu was executing judgment
           upon the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah, and
           the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, that ministered to
           Ahaziah, he slew them.

14:022:009 And he sought Ahaziah:  and they caught him, (for he was hid in
           Samaria,) and brought him to Jehu:  and when they had slain
           him, they buried him:  Because, said they, he is the son of
           Jehoshaphat, who sought the lord with all his heart.  So the
           house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom.

14:022:010 But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was
           dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house
           of Judah.
