Ahaziah died, just like the Lord said through Elijah. Ahaziah did not have a son. So Joram became the new king after Ahaziah. Joram began to rule during the second year that Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat was the king of Judah.
So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom. They traveled around for seven days. There was not enough water for the army or for their animals.
Ahaziah followed the advice Ahab’s family gave him. Ahaziah went with King Joram to fight against King Hazael from Aram at the town of Ramoth Gilead. Joram’s father’s name was Ahab, the king of Israel. But the Arameans wounded Joram in the battle.
