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.

2 Kings 8:25-29
International Standard Version
25 Jehoram’s son Ahaziah began to reign as king of Judah during the twelfth year of the reign of Ahab’s son Joram, king of Israel. 26 Ahaziah was 22 years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for one year.
His mother was named Athaliah. She was the granddaughter of Omri, king of Israel. 27 Ahaziah lived his life following the example of Ahab’s household, practicing what the Lord considered to be evil, just like the household of Ahab, because he was a son-in-law to Ahab’s household. 28 He joined Ahab’s son Joram in an attack on King Hazael of Aram at Ramoth-gilead, and that’s where the Arameans wounded Joram. 29 Then King Joram retreated to Jezreel to recover from the wounds that the Arameans had inflicted on him at Ramah during the battle against King Hazael of Aram. Jehoram’s son Ahaziah, king of Judah, went to visit Ahab’s son Joram in Jezreel because Joram was sick.[a]
