2 Chronicles 22:5-7
New Living Translation
5 Following their evil advice, Ahaziah joined Joram,[a] the son of King Ahab of Israel, in his war against King Hazael of Aram at Ramoth-gilead. When the Arameans[b] wounded Joram in the battle, 6 he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he had received at Ramoth.[c] Because Joram was wounded, King Ahaziah[d] of Judah went to Jezreel to visit him.
7 But God had decided that this visit would be Ahaziah’s downfall. While he was there, Ahaziah went out with Joram to meet Jehu grandson of Nimshi,[e] whom the Lord had appointed to destroy the dynasty of Ahab.
