亚哈谢做犹大王

22 耶路撒冷的居民立约兰的小儿子亚哈谢接续他做王,因为跟随阿拉伯人来攻营的军兵曾杀了亚哈谢的众兄长。这样,犹大约兰的儿子亚哈谢做了王。 亚哈谢登基的时候年四十二岁[a],在耶路撒冷做王一年。他母亲名叫亚她利雅,是暗利的孙女。 亚哈谢也行亚哈家的道,因为他母亲给他主谋,使他行恶。 他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事,像亚哈家一样,因他父亲死后有亚哈家的人给他主谋,以致败坏。 他听从亚哈家的计谋,同以色列亚哈的儿子约兰基列拉末去,与亚兰哈薛争战,亚兰人打伤了约兰 约兰回到耶斯列,医治在拉末亚兰哈薛打仗所受的伤。犹大约兰的儿子亚撒利雅[b]因为亚哈的儿子约兰病了,就下到耶斯列看望他。

亚哈谢被杀

亚哈谢去见约兰就被害了,这是出乎神。因为他到了,就同约兰出去攻击宁示的孙子耶户,这耶户是耶和华所膏,使他剪除亚哈家的。 耶户亚哈家罪的时候,遇见犹大的众首领和亚哈谢的众侄子服侍亚哈谢,就把他们都杀了。 亚哈谢藏在撒马利亚耶户寻找他。众人将他拿住,送到耶户那里,就杀了他,将他葬埋,因他们说:“他是那尽心寻求耶和华之约沙法的儿子。”这样,亚哈谢的家无力保守国权。

亚她利雅灭王室自立

10 亚哈谢的母亲亚她利雅见她儿子死了,就起来剿灭犹大王室。 11 但王的女儿约示巴亚哈谢的儿子约阿施从那被杀的王子中偷出来,把他和他的乳母都藏在卧房里。约示巴约兰王的女儿,亚哈谢的妹子,祭司耶何耶大的妻。她收藏约阿施,躲避亚她利雅,免得被杀。 12 约阿施和她们一同藏在神殿里六年。亚她利雅篡了国位。

Ahaziah’s Reign

22 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahazi′ah his youngest son king in his stead; for the band of men that came with the Arabs to the camp had slain all the older sons. So Ahazi′ah the son of Jehor′am king of Judah reigned. Ahazi′ah was forty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athali′ah, the granddaughter of Omri. He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor in doing wickedly. 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. He even followed their counsel, and went with Jehor′am the son of Ahab king of Israel to make war against Haz′ael king of Syria at Ra′moth-gil′ead. And the Syrians wounded Joram, and he returned to be healed in Jezre′el of the wounds which he had received at Ramah, when he fought against Haz′ael king of Syria. And Ahazi′ah the son of Jehor′am king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezre′el, because he was sick.

But it was ordained by God that the downfall of Ahazi′ah should come about through his going to visit Joram. For when he came there he went out with Jehor′am to meet Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab. And when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, he met the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahazi′ah’s brothers, who attended Ahazi′ah, and he killed them. He searched for Ahazi′ah, and he was captured while hiding in Samar′ia, and he was brought to Jehu and put to death. They buried him, for they said, “He is the grandson of Jehosh′aphat, who sought the Lord with all his heart.” And the house of Ahazi′ah had no one able to rule the kingdom.

Athaliah Seizes the Throne

10 Now when Athali′ah the mother of Ahazi′ah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal family of the house of Judah. 11 But Jeho-shab′e-ath, the daughter of the king, took Jo′ash the son of Ahazi′ah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were about to be slain, and she put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. Thus Jeho-shab′e-ath, the daughter of King Jehor′am and wife of Jehoi′ada the priest, because she was a sister of Ahazi′ah, hid him from Athali′ah, so that she did not slay him; 12 and he remained with them six years, hid in the house of God, while Athali′ah reigned over the land.
