Ahaziah followed their advice and went with Ahab’s son King Joram[a] of Israel to fight against King Hazael of Aram at Ramoth Gilead. There the Arameans wounded Joram. Joram returned to Jezreel to let his wounds heal. (He had been wounded by the Arameans at Ramah when he fought against King Hazael of Aram.) Then Jehoram’s son Ahaziah[b] went to Jezreel to see Ahab’s son Joram, who was sick.
