Judah’s King Ahaziah
25 In the twelfth year of Israel’s King Joram son of Ahab,(A) Ahaziah son of Jehoram became king of Judah.(B) 26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah, granddaughter of Israel’s King Omri.(C) 27 He walked in the ways of the house of Ahab and did what was evil in the Lord’s sight like the house of Ahab,(D) for his father had married into[a] the house of Ahab.
28 Ahaziah went with Joram son of Ahab to fight against King Hazael(E) of Aram in Ramoth-gilead,(F) and the Arameans wounded Joram. 29 So King Joram returned to Jezreel(G) to recover from the wounds that the Arameans had inflicted on him in Ramoth-gilead[b] when he fought against Aram’s King Hazael.(H) Then Judah’s King Ahaziah son of Jehoram went down to Jezreel to visit Joram son of Ahab since Joram was ill.

Ahaziah Reigns in Judah
25 (A)In the (B)twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, began to reign. 26 Ahaziah was (C)twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah; she was (D)a granddaughter of Omri king of Israel. 27 He also walked in the way of the house of Ahab and did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, as the house of Ahab had done, for he was son-in-law to the house of Ahab.
28 He went with Joram the son of Ahab to make war against (E)Hazael king of Syria at (F)Ramoth-gilead, and the Syrians wounded Joram. 29 (G)And King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds that the Syrians had given him at (H)Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And (I)Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
