[8:25] In the twelfth year of the reign of Joram son of Ahab as king of Israel, Ahaziah son of Jehoram became king of Judah
[8:26] at the age of twenty-two, and he ruled in Jerusalem for one year. His mother was Athaliah, the daughter of King Ahab and granddaughter of King Omri of Israel.
[8:27] Since Ahaziah was related to King Ahab by marriage, he sinned against the Lord, just as Ahab's family did.
[8:28] King Ahaziah joined King Joram of Israel in a war against King Hazael of Syria. The armies clashed at Ramoth in Gilead, and Joram was wounded in battle.
[8:29] He returned to the city of Jezreel to recover from his wounds, and Ahaziah went there to visit him.
