Ahaziah Succeeds Jehoram in Judah

1 1Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, his youngest son, king in his place, for the band of men who came with 2the Arabs to the camp had slain all the older sons. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.
2 Ahaziah was twenty-two * years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri.
3 He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor to do wickedly.
4 He did evil in the sight of the LORD like the house of Ahab, for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to 3his destruction.
