1 The people in Jerusalem made Ahaziah, the young son, be king. Men from Arabia had killed the big brothers. So Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, was king. ️⚔️ 2 Ahaziah was 42 years old. He was king 1 year in Jerusalem. His mom was Athaliah. She came from Omri’s family. ⏳️ 3 Ahaziah did bad like Ahab’s family. His mom told him to do bad. 4 Ahaziah did bad to God. After his dad died, Ahab’s people told him what to do. This would hurt him. ⚠️ 5 Ahaziah did what they said. He went with King Joram to fight Hazael of Syria at Ramoth-Gilead. The men of Syria hurt Joram. ⚔️ 6 Joram went to Jezreel to get well. Ahaziah went to see Joram, because Joram was hurt. 7 God let this happen to Ahaziah. He met Joram. They went out. Jehu, picked by God, came to stop Ahab’s family. ✋ 8 Jehu did what God said. He found important men from Judah and Ahaziah’s kin who helped him. Jehu killed them. ⚔️ 9 Jehu looked for Ahaziah. They found him hiding in Samaria. They took him to Jehu and killed him. They buried him, because he was Jehoshaphat’s son, who loved God a lot. No one in Ahaziah’s house was strong to be king. ⚰️ 10 Athaliah, Ahaziah’s mom, saw her son was dead. She tried to kill all the king’s kids. ⚔️ 11 But Jehoshabeath, the king’s girl, took baby Joash. She and his nurse hid him in a room. She was the wife of Jehoiada the priest. She kept Joash safe from Athaliah. 12 Joash stayed hidden in God’s house six years. Athaliah was queen over the land then. ⛪⏳
