1 Kings 22:51-53

GOD’S WORD Translation

King Ahaziah of Israel

⁵¹ Ahaziah, son of Ahab, became king of Israel in Samaria during Jehoshaphat’s seventeenth year as king of Judah. Ahaziah ruled Israel for two years. ⁵² He did what the Lord considered evil. He followed the example of his father and mother and of Jeroboam (Nebat’s son) who led Israel to sin. ⁵³ Ahaziah served Baal, worshiped him, and made the Lord God of Israel furious, as his father had done.
