1 Kings 22:51-53

New Living Translation

Ahaziah Rules in Israel

⁵¹ Ahaziah son of Ahab began to rule over Israel in the seventeenth year of King Jehoshaphat’s reign in Judah. He reigned in Samaria two years. ⁵² But he did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, following the example of his father and mother and the example of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had led Israel to sin. ⁵³ He served Baal and worshiped him, provoking the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, just as his father had done.
