22:1 The residents of Jerusalem 1 made his youngest son Ahaziah king in his place, for the raiding party that invaded the city with the Arabs had killed all the older sons. 2 So Ahaziah son of Jehoram became king of Judah.
22:7 God brought about Ahaziah’s downfall through his visit to Joram. 3 When Ahaziah 4 arrived, he went out with Joram to meet Jehu son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had commissioned 5 to wipe out Ahab’s family. 6
