New International Version

He was brought to Jehu and put to death. They buried him, for they said, “He was a son of Jehoshaphat, who sought(C) the Lord with all his heart.” So there was no one in the house of Ahaziah powerful enough to retain the kingdom.
Athaliah and Joash(D)
10 When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to destroy the whole royal family of the house of Judah.
