2 Chronicles 22:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 Two and [a]forty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned [b]one year in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter [c]of Omri.
3 He walked also in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his mother counseled him to do wickedly.
4 Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the Lord, like the house of Ahab: for they were his [d]counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction.

2 Ahaziah was twenty-two[a] years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri.
3 He too followed(A) the ways of the house of Ahab,(B) for his mother encouraged him to act wickedly. 4 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as the house of Ahab had done, for after his father’s death they became his advisers, to his undoing.
