Reinado de Ocozías de Judá(A)
22 Para suceder al rey Jorán de Judá, los habitantes de Jerusalén proclamaron rey a Ocozías, su hijo menor. Ocozías llegó al trono porque una banda de árabes llegó al campamento y mató a todos los hijos mayores de Jorán. 2 Ocozías comenzó a reinar cuando tenía cuarenta y dos años, y reinó un año en Jerusalén. Su madre se llamaba Atalía, y era hija de Omri. 3 Pero también Ocozías siguió el mal ejemplo de la casa de Ajab, pues su madre lo aconsejaba a que hiciera lo malo. 4 Para su perdición, Ocozías hizo lo malo a los ojos del Señor, a la manera de la casa de Ajab, pues después de la muerte de su padre ellos fueron sus consejeros. 5 Josías se dejó llevar por los consejos de ellos, y en alianza con el rey Jorán de Israel, hijo de Ajab, declaró la guerra al rey Jazael de Siria, pero en Ramot de Galaad los sirios hirieron de muerte a Jorán. 6 Éste volvió entonces a Jezrel para curarse de las heridas que le habían hecho en Ramot durante el combate contra el rey Jazael de Siria, y como Jorán hijo de Ajab se hallaba enfermo en Jezrel, el rey Ocozías de Judá, hijo de Jorán, fue a visitarlo.
Jehú mata a Ocozías(B)
7 Todo esto venía de Dios, para que Ocozías fuera destruido al llegar adonde estaba Jorán, porque en cuanto Ocozías llegó, se unió a Jorán para atacar a Jehú hijo de Nimsi, al cual el Señor había escogido para exterminar a la familia de Ajab. 8 Al dictar Jehú sentencia contra la casa de Ajab, encontró a los jefes de Judá y a los sobrinos de Ocozías, que estaban al servicio de éste, y los mató. 9 Luego buscó a Ocozías, el cual se había escondido en Samaria, y cuando lo hallaron, lo llevaron ante Jehú y lo mataron. Pero le dieron sepultura, porque dijeron: «Era hijo de Josafat, quien de todo corazón buscó al Señor.» Y la casa de Ocozías no tenía el poder suficiente para retener el reino.
Atalía usurpa el trono(C)
10 Al ver Atalía, la madre de Ocozías, que su hijo había sido muerto, se dispuso a exterminar a toda la descendencia real de la casa de Judá. 11 Pero al ver Josabet, la hija del rey, que mataban a los demás hijos del rey, tomó a Joás hijo de Ocozías y lo escondió, y a él y a su nodriza los resguardó en uno de los aposentos. Fue así como Josabet, hija del rey Jorán y mujer del sacerdote Joyadá (pues ella era hermana de Ocozías), escondió a Joás de Atalía, y no lo mataron. 12 Y Joás estuvo seis años en el templo de Dios, escondido con ellos. Mientras tanto, Atalía reinaba en el país.

Ahaziah King of Judah(A)(B)
22 The people(C) of Jerusalem(D) made Ahaziah, Jehoram’s youngest son, king in his place, since the raiders,(E) who came with the Arabs into the camp, had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.
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(F) the ways of the house of Ahab,(G) 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. 5 He also followed their counsel when he went with Joram[b] son of Ahab king of Israel to wage war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth Gilead.(H) The Arameans wounded Joram; 6 so he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds they had inflicted on him at Ramoth[c] in his battle with Hazael(I) king of Aram.
Then Ahaziah[d] son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to Jezreel to see Joram son of Ahab because he had been wounded.
7 Through Ahaziah’s(J) visit to Joram, God brought about Ahaziah’s downfall. When Ahaziah arrived, he went out with Joram to meet Jehu son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab. 8 While Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab,(K) he found the officials of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s relatives, who had been attending Ahaziah, and he killed them. 9 He then went in search of Ahaziah, and his men captured him while he was hiding(L) in Samaria. He was brought to Jehu and put to death. They buried him, for they said, “He was a son of Jehoshaphat, who sought(M) the Lord with all his heart.” So there was no one in the house of Ahaziah powerful enough to retain the kingdom.
Athaliah and Joash(N)
10 When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to destroy the whole royal family of the house of Judah. 11 But Jehosheba,[e] the daughter of King Jehoram, took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the royal princes who were about to be murdered and put him and his nurse in a bedroom. Because Jehosheba,[f] the daughter of King Jehoram and wife of the priest Jehoiada, was Ahaziah’s sister, she hid the child from Athaliah so she could not kill him. 12 He remained hidden with them at the temple of God for six years while Athaliah ruled the land.

Ahaziah Reigns in Judah
22 (A)And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, his youngest son, king in his place, for the band of men that came with (B)the Arabians to the camp had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned. 2 Ahaziah was twenty-two[a] years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah, (C)the granddaughter of Omri. 3 He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor in doing wickedly. 4 He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, as the house of Ahab had done. For after the death of his father they were his counselors, to his undoing. 5 He even followed their counsel and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to make war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth-gilead. And the Syrians wounded Joram, 6 and he returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds that he had received at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was wounded.
7 But it was ordained by[b] God that the downfall of Ahaziah should come about through his going to visit Joram. For when he came there, (D)he went out with Jehoram to meet Jehu the son of Nimshi, (E)whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab. 8 (F)And when Jehu was (G)executing judgment on the house of Ahab, he met the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah's brothers, who attended Ahaziah, and he killed them. 9 (H)He searched for Ahaziah, and he was captured while hiding in Samaria, and he was brought to Jehu and put to death. (I)They buried him, for they said, “He is the grandson of Jehoshaphat, (J)who sought the Lord with all his heart.” And the house of Ahaziah had no one able to rule the kingdom.
Athaliah Reigns in Judah
10 (K)Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal family of the house of Judah. 11 But Jehoshabeath,[c] the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the king's sons who were about to be put to death, and she put him and his nurse in a bedroom. Thus Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram and wife of Jehoiada the priest, because she was a sister of Ahaziah, hid him[d] from Athaliah, so that she did not put him to death. 12 And he remained with them six years, hidden in the house of God, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
