2 Chronicles 22:7-9
New English Translation
7 God brought about Ahaziah’s downfall through his visit to Joram.[a] When Ahaziah[b] arrived, he went out with Joram to meet Jehu son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had commissioned[c] to wipe out Ahab’s family.[d] 8 While Jehu was dishing out punishment to Ahab’s family, he discovered the officials of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s relatives who were serving Ahaziah and killed them. 9 He looked for Ahaziah, who was captured while hiding in Samaria. They brought him to Jehu and then executed him. They did give him a burial, for they reasoned,[e] “He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the Lord with his whole heart.” There was no one in Ahaziah’s family strong enough to rule in his place.[f]

2 Chronicles 22:7-9
New King James Version
7 His going to Joram (A)was God’s occasion for Ahaziah’s [a]downfall; for when he arrived, (B)he went out with [b]Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, (C)whom the Lord had anointed to [c]cut off the house of Ahab. 8 And it happened, when Jehu was (D)executing judgment on the house of Ahab, and (E)found the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s brothers who served Ahaziah, that he killed them. 9 (F)Then he searched for Ahaziah; and they caught him (he was hiding in Samaria), and brought him to Jehu. When they had killed him, they buried him, “because,” they said, “he is the son of (G)Jehoshaphat, who (H)sought the Lord with all his heart.”
So the house of Ahaziah had no one to assume power over the kingdom.
