Chapter 22 And the inhabitants of
Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son,

00:06.620 --> 00:07.460
king in his stead.

00:08.380 --> 00:12.440
For the band of men that came with the
Arabians to the camp had slain all the

00:12.440 --> 00:12.740
eldest.

00:13.940 --> 00:17.140
So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram,
king of Judah, reigned.

00:17.860 --> 00:22.880
Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when
he began to reign, and he reigned one year

00:22.880 --> 00:23.440
in Jerusalem.

00:24.480 --> 00:28.060
His mother's name also was Athaliah,
the daughter of Omri.

00:28.600 --> 00:33.320
He also walked in the ways of the house of
Ahab, for his mother was his counsellor to

00:33.320 --> 00:34.020
do wickedly.

00:34.760 --> 00:39.040
Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the
Lord, like the house of Ahab, for they

00:39.040 --> 00:42.060
were his counsellors after the death of
his father to his destruction.

00:43.060 --> 00:47.640
He walked also after their counsel,
and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab,

00:47.740 --> 00:52.600
king of Israel, to war against Hazael,
king of Syria, at Ramoth Gilead,

00:53.200 --> 00:54.820
and the Syrian smote Joram.

00:55.680 --> 00:59.760
And he returned to be healed in Jezreel,
because of the wounds which were given him

00:59.760 --> 01:02.920
at Ramoth, when he fought with Hazael,
king of Syria.

01:03.580 --> 01:07.740
And Azariah the son of Jehoram,
king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram

01:07.740 --> 01:10.580
the son of Ahab at Jezreel, because he was
sick.

01:11.440 --> 01:14.800
And the destruction of Ahaziah was of God
by coming to Joram.

01:15.600 --> 01:20.200
For when he was come, he went out with
Jehoram against Jehu, the son of Nimshi,

01:20.680 --> 01:23.400
whom the Lord had anointed to cut off the
house of Ahab.

01:23.400 --> 01:28.680
And it came to pass, that when Jehu was
executing judgment upon the house of Ahab,

01:29.180 --> 01:33.000
and found the princes of Judah,
and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah,

01:33.400 --> 01:35.920
that ministered to Ahaziah, he slew them.

01:36.840 --> 01:41.320
And he sought Ahaziah, and they caught
him, for he was hid in Samaria,

01:42.060 --> 01:43.240
and brought him to Jehu.

01:44.020 --> 01:46.040
And when they had slain him, they buried
him.

01:46.160 --> 01:50.680
Because, said they, he is the son of
Jehoshaphat, who sought the Lord with all

01:50.680 --> 01:51.160
his heart.

01:51.160 --> 01:55.100
So the house of Ahaziah had no power to
keep still the kingdom.

01:56.100 --> 02:01.060
But when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah,
saw that her son was dead, she arose and

02:01.060 --> 02:03.500
destroyed all the seed-royal of the house
of Judah.

02:04.360 --> 02:08.820
But Jehoshaphat, the daughter of the king,
took Joash, the son of Ahaziah,

02:09.220 --> 02:13.840
and stole him from among the king's sons
that were slain, and put him and his nurse

02:13.840 --> 02:14.660
in a bedchamber.

02:15.580 --> 02:20.080
So Jehoshaphat, the daughter of King
Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest,

02:20.080 --> 02:25.400
for she was the sister of Ahaziah,
hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew

02:25.400 --> 02:25.940
him not.

02:26.940 --> 02:31.580
And he was with them hid in the house of
God six years, and Athaliah reigned over

02:31.580 --> 02:32.120
the land.

02:35.180 --> 02:37.400
This concludes Disc Number 25.
