2 Chronicles 22:1-3

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Ahaziah’s Reign

22 The inhabitants of Jerusalem made his youngest son Ahaziah king as his successor, for the troops who came with the Arabs to the camp had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah son of Jehoram reigned as king of Judah.^{(A) 2} Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he began to reign; he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri.^{(B) 3} He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor in doing wickedly.
