2 Chronicles 22:1-3
New Catholic Bible
Chapter 22
Ahaziah. 1 The people of Jerusalem then chose Jehoram’s youngest son Ahaziah[a] as his successor, since the troops who had come into the camp with the Arabs had killed all the older sons. Thus Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, reigned as King of Judah.
2 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he ascended the throne, and he reigned in Jerusalem for one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri. 3 He too followed the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother encouraged him to pursue evil practices.
