King Ahaziah of Judah Is Killed (2KI 9:27-29)

[9:27] King Ahaziah saw what happened, so he fled in his chariot toward the town of Beth Haggan, pursued by Jehu. “Kill him too!” Jehu ordered his men, and they wounded him as he drove his chariot on the road up to Gur, near the town of Ibleam. But he managed to keep on going until he reached the city of Megiddo, where he died.

[9:28] His officials took his body back to Jerusalem in a chariot and buried him in the royal tombs in David's City.

[9:29] Ahaziah had become king of Judah in the eleventh year that Joram son of Ahab was king of Israel.
