23. The rest of Jehoram’s deeds and all that he accomplished, aren’t they written in the official records of Judah’s kings?
24. Jehoram died and was buried with his ancestors in David’s City. His son Ahaziah succeeded him as king.
25. Ahaziah, the son of Judah’s king Jehoram, became king in the twelfth year of Israel’s King Joram, Ahab’s son.
26. Ahaziah was 22 years old when he became king, and he ruled for one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah; she was the granddaughter of Israel’s King Omri.
27. He walked in the ways of Ahab’s dynasty, doing what was evil in the Lord’s eyes, just as Ahab’s dynasty had done, because he had married into Ahab’s family.
28. Ahaziah went with Joram, Ahab’s son, to fight against Aram’s King Hazael at Ramoth-gilead, where the Arameans wounded Joram.
29. King Joram returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds the Arameans had given him at Ramah in his battle with Aram’s King Hazael. Then Judah’s King Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, went down to visit Joram, Ahab’s son, at Jezreel because he had been wounded.
