犹大王亚哈谢
22 耶路撒冷的居民拥立约兰的小儿子亚哈谢[a]为王。因为约兰的其他儿子都被那些与阿拉伯人同来攻营的匪徒杀了，于是犹大王约兰的儿子亚哈谢做了王。 2 亚哈谢二十二岁[b]登基，在耶路撒冷执政一年。他母亲叫亚她利雅，是暗利的孙女。 3 他重蹈亚哈家的覆辙，因为他的母亲唆使他作恶。 4 他像亚哈家一样做耶和华视为恶的事，因为他父亲死后，亚哈家便唆使他作恶，使他走向灭亡。 5 他照亚哈家的主意，与以色列王亚哈的儿子约兰一起去基列的拉末征讨亚兰王哈薛。亚兰人击伤约兰， 6 约兰便回到耶斯列疗伤。犹大王亚哈谢[c]前去探望他。
7 亚哈谢去见约兰，遇害身亡，这事出于上帝。原来他到那里后便与约兰去攻击宁示的孙子耶户。耶户是耶和华膏立去毁灭亚哈家的人。 8 耶户讨伐亚哈家的时候，遇见犹大众首领和亚哈谢的众侄儿，他们都是服侍亚哈谢的，耶户就把他们全部杀掉。 9 然后耶户搜捕亚哈谢，民众找到躲在撒玛利亚的亚哈谢，把他押到耶户那里杀了。他们念他是全心寻求耶和华的约沙法的孙子，就把他埋葬了。这样，亚哈谢家无人能保住王位。
亚她利雅篡权
10 亚哈谢的母亲亚她利雅见她儿子死了，便决定除掉犹大王室的后裔。 11 但约兰王的女儿、亚哈谢的妹妹约示芭把亚哈谢的儿子约阿施从将要被杀的王子中偷出来，将他和他的乳母藏在一间卧室里躲避亚她利雅的杀害。约示芭是耶何耶大祭司的妻子。 12 约阿施和他们在上帝的殿里藏了六年。那时亚她利雅篡位当政。
2 Chronicles 22
Common English Bible
22 The inhabitants of Jerusalem made his youngest son Ahaziah succeed him as king because the raiding party that had invaded the camp with the Arabs had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah, Jehoram’s son, became king of Judah.
Ahaziah rules
2 Ahaziah was 22 years old[a] when he became king, and he ruled for one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah; she was the granddaughter of Omri. 3 Ahaziah walked in the ways of Ahab’s dynasty, encouraged in this wickedness by his mother. 4 He did what was evil in the Lord’s eyes, just as Ahab’s dynasty had done, because after his father’s death they gave him advice that led to his downfall. 5 Ahaziah was following their advice when he went with Israel’s King Joram,[b] Ahab’s son, to fight against Aram’s King Hazael at Ramoth-gilead, where the Arameans wounded Joram. 6 Joram returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he suffered at Ramah in his battle with Aram’s King Hazael. Then Judah’s King Ahaziah,[c] Jehoram’s son, went down to visit Joram, Ahab’s son, at Jezreel because he had been wounded. 7 But God used this visit to Joram to bring about Ahaziah’s downfall. After his arrival, Ahaziah went with Joram to meet Jehu, Nimshi’s son, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy Ahab’s dynasty. 8 While Jehu was executing judgment on Ahab’s dynasty, he discovered the princes of Judah, Ahaziah’s nephews, serving Ahaziah, and Jehu killed them. 9 Jehu went looking for Ahaziah, who was captured while hiding in Samaria. He was then brought to Jehu and executed. He was given a decent burial, however, because people said, “He was the grandson of Jehoshaphat, who sought the Lord with all his heart.”
There were now no members of Ahaziah’s dynasty strong enough to rule the kingdom.
Queen Athaliah rules Judah
10 When Athaliah, Ahaziah’s mother, learned of her son’s death, she immediately destroyed the entire royal family of Judah’s dynasty. 11 But Jehoshabeath the king’s daughter secretly took Ahaziah’s son Jehoash[d] from the rest of the royal children who were about to be murdered, and hid him in a bedroom, along with his nurse. In this way Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of the priest Jehoiada and the sister of Ahaziah, hid Jehoash from Athaliah so she couldn’t murder him. 12 He remained hidden with them in God’s temple for six years while Athaliah ruled the country.

New King James Version
Ahaziah Reigns in Judah(A)
22 Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem made (B)Ahaziah his youngest son king in his place, for the raiders who came with the (C)Arabians into the camp had killed all the (D)older sons. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, reigned. 2 Ahaziah was [a]forty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was (E)Athaliah the [b]granddaughter of Omri. 3 He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother advised him to do wickedly. 4 Therefore he did evil in the sight of the Lord, like the house of Ahab; for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction. 5 He also followed their advice, and went with [c]Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram. 6 (F)Then he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds which he had received at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And [d]Azariah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
7 His going to Joram (G)was God’s occasion for Ahaziah’s [e]downfall; for when he arrived, (H)he went out with [f]Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, (I)whom the Lord had anointed to [g]cut off the house of Ahab. 8 And it happened, when Jehu was (J)executing judgment on the house of Ahab, and (K)found the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s brothers who served Ahaziah, that he killed them. 9 (L)Then he searched for Ahaziah; and they caught him (he was hiding in Samaria), and brought him to Jehu. When they had killed him, they buried him, “because,” they said, “he is the son of (M)Jehoshaphat, who (N)sought the Lord with all his heart.”
So the house of Ahaziah had no one to assume power over the kingdom.
Athaliah Reigns in Judah(O)
10 (P)Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal heirs of the house of Judah. 11 But [h]Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took (Q)Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were being murdered, and put him and his nurse in a bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah so that she did not kill him. 12 And he was hidden with them in the house of God for six years, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
