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 daughter of Omri king of Israel.
He walked in the way of Ahab’s house and did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as did Ahab’s house, for he was the son-in-law of Ahab’s house.
He went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead, and the Syrians wounded Joram.
