⁷ But it was ordained by^[a] God that the downfall of Ahaziah should come about through his going to visit Joram. For when he came there, ^(A)he went out with Jehoram to meet Jehu the son of Nimshi, ^(B)whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.

^9 (A)He searched for Ahaziah, and he was captured while hiding in Samaria, and he was brought to Jehu and put to death. ^(B)They buried him, for they said, “He is the grandson of Jehoshaphat, ^(C)who sought the Lord with all his heart.” And the house of Ahaziah had no one able to rule the kingdom.
