The Latin Vulgate VUL
English Standard Version ESV
1 constituerunt autem habitatores Hierusalem Ochoziam filium eius minimum regem pro eo omnes enim maiores natu qui ante eum fuerant interfecerant latrones Arabum qui inruerant in castra regnavitque Ochozias filius Ioram regis Iuda
1
And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, his youngest son, king in his place, for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
2 filius quadraginta duo annorum erat Ochozias cum regnare coepisset et uno anno regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Otholia filia Amri
2
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri.
3 sed et ipse ingressus est per vias domus Ahab mater enim eius inpulit eum ut impie ageret
3
He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor in doing wickedly.
4 fecit igitur malum in conspectu Domini sicut domus Ahab ipsi enim fuerunt ei consiliarii post mortem patris sui in interitum eius
4
He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, as the house of Ahab had done. For after the death of his father they were his counselors, to his undoing.
5 ambulavitque in consiliis eorum et perrexit cum Ioram filio Ahab rege Israhel in bellum contra Azahel regem Syriae in Ramoth Galaad vulneraveruntque Syri Ioram
5
He even followed their counsel and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to make war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth-gilead. And the Syrians wounded Joram,
6 qui reversus est ut curaretur in Hiezrahel multas enim plagas acceperat in supradicto certamine igitur Azarias filius Ioram rex Iuda descendit ut inviseret Ioram filium Ahab in Hiezrahel aegrotantem
6
and he returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds that he had received at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was wounded.
7 voluntatis quippe fuit Dei adversum Ochoziam ut veniret ad Ioram et cum venisset egrederetur cum eo adversum Hieu filium Namsi quem unxit Dominus ut deleret domum Ahab
7
But it was ordained by God that the downfall of Ahaziah should come about through his going to visit Joram. For when he came there, he went out with Jehoram to meet Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.
8 cum ergo subverteret Hieu domum Ahab invenit principes Iuda et filios fratrum Ochoziae qui ministrabant ei et interfecit illos
8
And when Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, he met the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s brothers, who attended Ahaziah, and he killed them.
9 ipsumque perquirens Ochoziam conprehendit latentem in Samaria adductumque ad se occidit et sepelierunt eum eo quod esset filius Iosaphat qui quaesierat Dominum in toto corde suo nec erat ultra spes aliqua ut de stirpe regnaret Ochoziae
9
He searched for Ahaziah, and he was captured while hiding in Samaria, and he was brought to Jehu and put to death. They buried him, for they said, “He is the grandson of Jehoshaphat, who sought the Lord with all his heart. ” And the house of Ahaziah had no one able to rule the kingdom.
10 siquidem Otholia mater eius videns quod mortuus esset filius suus surrexit et interfecit omnem stirpem regiam domus Ioram
10
Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal family of the house of Judah.
11 porro Iosabeth filia regis tulit Ioas filium Ochoziae et furata est eum de medio filiorum regis cum interficerentur absconditque cum nutrice sua in cubiculo lectulorum Iosabeth autem quae absconderat eum erat filia regis Ioram uxor Ioiadae pontificis soror Ochoziae et idcirco Otholia non interfecit eum
11
But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were about to be put to death, and she put him and his nurse in a bedroom. Thus Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram and wife of Jehoiada the priest, because she was a sister of Ahaziah, hid him from Athaliah, so that she did not put him to death.
12 fuit ergo cum eis in domo Dei absconditus sex annis quibus regnavit Otholia super terram
12
And he remained with them six years, hidden in the house of God, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
