2 Chronicles 22:6-7  New English Translation

6 Joram[a] returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he received from the Syrians[b] in Ramah when he fought against King Hazael of Syria. Ahaziah[c] son of King Jehoram of Judah went down to visit Joram son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he had been wounded.[d]

7 God brought about Ahaziah’s downfall through his visit to Joram.[e] When Ahaziah[f] arrived, he went out with Joram to meet Jehu son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had commissioned[g] to wipe out Ahab’s family.[h]
