3He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab; for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly.
4And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, as did the house of Ahab; for they were his counsellors after the death of his father, to his destruction.
5He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth-gilead: and the Syrians wounded Joram.
6And he returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
7Now the destruction of Ahaziah was of God, in that he went unto Joram: for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom Jehovah had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
8And it came to pass, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, that he found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, ministering to Ahaziah, and slew them.
9And he sought Ahaziah, and they caught him (now he was hiding in Samaria), and they brought him to Jehu, and slew him; and they buried him, for they said, He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Jehovah with all his heart. And the house of Ahaziah had no power to hold the kingdom.

“And he returned: Kg2 9:15 which were given him: Heb. wherewith they wounded him, Azariah. Ahaziah, אחזיהו \[Strong's H274\], and Jehoahaz, יהואחז \[Strong's H3059\], are essentially the same both in letters and sense, the word יהו, yeho, or יה, \[Strong's H3050\], yah, being merely transposed, but Azariah, עזריהו, \[Strong's H5838\], seems to have been a distinct name by which he was known. Ch2 22:1, Ch2 22:7, Ahaziah, Ch2 21:17, Jehoahaz to see Jehoram: Kg2 8:29, Kg2 10:13, Kg2 10:14 2 Chronicles 22:7”
