Ahaziah Allies with Jehoram of Israel

He also walked according to their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to wage war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead. But the [a](A)Arameans [b]wounded [c]Joram. So he returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds [d]which they had inflicted on him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. And [e]Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.

Now (B)the destruction of Ahaziah was from God, in that [f]he went to Joram. For when he came, (C)he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, (D)whom the Lord had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
